Every group want representation in Hollywood etc but why.
creating and promoting your own entertainment is more valuable.
East Asians are/were constantly degraded in Hollywood etc but at the same time they were influenced by American music and in the 90s created the KPOP factory and now are surpassing English speaking entertainment.
Black Americans created Motown ( their own music industry) which changed the landscape of popular music in the west and bc of that success were able to get other blk entertainers to surpass white Americans ( Michael Jackson etc) honestly if blk Americans did the same with the film industry they wouldn’t need Hollywood .
Latin Americans were desperate for a Latin invasion via music in America by trying to appeal to them (via Shakira JLO etc) but reggaeton is reaching global success .
I swear u see south Asians complaining they’re not represented on tv etc but literally all the heads of the U.K. are south Asians lol.
West Africans have afrobeats which is influenced by Caribbean music / American music are able to reach more success in the entertainment industry in the west than they ever could by imitating Americans ( aka akon)
in conclusion, it’s way more valuable to create entertainment for YOUR own and then to market it to westerners if your desperate for their acceptance/ money etc
