How do I get my black stepbrother to get more in touch with his roots?

My parents (we're white) adopted him when he was young. I love him but hes 14 now and I feel like he should get more in touch with his roots. He listens to a lot of white music. I dont know why.

Like he literally listens to EDM. I dont understand it. Im white and i dont even listen to that. I can always hear edm coming out of his room and it confuses me.

I've tried to get him into guys like NBA youngboy. Like I gently nudge him into that. I play it out of my phone when we're all in the living room and ask him if he likes it.

He usually just says its alright then goes back to what hes doing. It kind of annoys me. I just feel like hes shunning a part of himself.

He gets good grades and everything and wants to be a pharmacist but I just feel like he should be doing more black things, you know?

He doesn't even like basketball or anything. I turn it on sometimes and he just tunes it out. I try to get him into it. But hes not interested. All he cares about is white music and anime.

Next thing I know he'll bring home a white girl.

What do I do? I feel like hes headed down a really bad self hating path.

Pick out his hair while he's sleeping and stick a comb in it, replace all his clothes with white t-shirts and huge baggy jeans. Replace all his music with Biggie and Tupac. When he comes downstairs for breakfast give him collard greens with bacon bits in it, give him a bucket of KFC for lunch. Tell him you've pulled him out of school (if he's over 6th grade he should have dropped out already, explain to him that going to school is a krakkka thang). Put him on the street corner and tell him to start hustlin'.

This has to be trolling.
But, on the off chance it's not, just leave him alone, especially with that stupid music shit. Plenty of Black people like EDM. Being Black aint about music or basketball, it's about community and history. I guess you could watch Roots with him or smth, but shit, you Black you Black, listening to EDM doesn't change that
