Responding to Filipino DJs

       Growing up in an age of POC pride and awareness, it is easy to understand why the issue of partaking in an occupation that was created and built off the backs of a race other than your owns would be considered problematic. In the case of the struggle that Filipino's DJs face in legitimizing their work as authentic and respectable music, the common story of white people appropriating and monetizing important traditions of different cultures doesn't seem to be the same thing as what these DJs are facing. The author's excerpts from real Filipino's feelings on growing up with hip hop interwoven into, not only their personal upbringing, but a much more volatile aspect of the Filipino experience highlighted to me the issue with ignoring the accomplishments of Filipino DJs. When considering the argument over cultural appropriation, it seems as though refusing to authenticate the product of a Filipino based on the notion that they were not the original creators of the art seems unreasonable, taking into consideration the fact that this occupation and musical industry has become a staple of many Filipino families.
This doesn't really apply to white people, though, since their contributions to the hip hop and DJ world has historically overshadowed the efforts of many founding African American and Puerto Rican music revolutionaries. Since white is what is romanticized and praised by popular media, white rappers and DJs are easily able to make much more money than the POC DJs that remain purists with the craft of music mixing, those who refuse to change their work in response to the white dominated social pressures. A Filipino DJs efforts in remaining truthful to the foundation of hip hop and DJing, and their acknowledgment of the effect it has had on their upbringings provides these artists with a much stronger argument for authentication.

Question: How have Filipino DJs helped to change the way in which other racial minorities present their contributions into traditionally Black or Latinx art forms without being regarded as cultural appropriation?
