Media Entertainment What did Asians do just as good or even better in cinema, television, animations, stage, and music versus the world?

Also there is the problem of halfie looking Filipinos like black latino looking Bruno Mars or white latina looking Olivia Rodrigo getting an upper hand in terms of marketability in a still somewhat prejudiced American demographic.

There are so many amazing pure looking Filipino singers out there that will probably have a harder time getting a Hot 100 hit than those two I mentioned above since they don't look black, white, or latino. I think Charice Pempenco could have gotten a Hot 100 chart topper back in the early 2010's if this wasn't the case.

Arnel Pineda is very popular but he is a substitute, so he does not count. My white friends listen to full blooded Filipino singers all because they had contact with me 😀. So, If we want to be known to the world, then we have to engage with communities outside our own.

@rr , We should appreciate the arts of our neighbors.  There is some cross-over.  For example, Mothra's origin likely originates somewhere in the South Pacific.  The twin miniature fairy ladies that accompany Mothra sing in Malay.  Godzilla and Monster Island (where many other large monsters live) are in some tropical island most likely in the Pacific.  

Also, there is a type of Muay Thai and Silat wuxia with Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais respectively. 

Some of the animation studios are in the Philippines.

What does Godzilla have to do with mainstream culture of a certain people? 

Austronesians have our culture copied by other groups but dues are never given to us because we don't make a fuss about it. 

True, and partly because many Austronesians are unaware of their culture.  One example of this would probably be the food item sago pearls.  Sago pearls were the original tapioca pearls, but tapioca pearls became more popular.  But without sago and the process of making it into sago pearls, there probably would not have been tapioca pearls.  I think in the long run the credits due will be given.   

Most Austronesians are aware that knife fighting and surfing originated from Austronesians and Polynesians. 

It's just, our culture are mainstream to the rest of humanity just like basketball. 

Would I trade knife fighting and surfing for basketball as an accomplishment?  Nah, basketball is great, but knife fighting and surfing are better. 

basketball is great for the body & it's accessible.

Chinito filipinos will have a harder time than the pure filipinos in the global media. 

@j-r-c , what would take for that to happen?  Wouldn't the Philippine, American, and Canadian recording companies all benefit if they were all connected?

To say that many more Filipino artists are better than Bruno Mars is a pretty big and surprising statement, not that there aren't some Filipinos that are more talented, but Bruno Mars is a great talent and has proven himself.
