OK, I'm missing the accent grave, but, in actuality, THAT is Debussy's title. Nothing dismissive about it - in fact, it's quite the opposite: with your heart racing and your knees all a-quiver, you yourself are AFRAID to use Debussy's original title - because the Church of Woke is so strict that you can be brought before the Woke Inquisition just for quoting SOMEONE ELSE's use of a forbidden term. It's no wonder that the Church of Woke's Ministry of Truth would like to change Debussy's original title - and indeed is making efforts to do so, as I noted in my previous post about this. And beyond the title, I can even imagine people like you claiming that the music itself is a racist cultural appropriation of African-American music. (Kind of similar to what people like you were saying about Paul Simon's "Graceland" album decades ago.)
Be that as it may. . . you did NOT "applaud and appreciate Chinese and Chinese-American participation in and contributions to Western music". Instead, you took a mean-spirited side-swipe at Asians (or, sometimes, Chinese specifically). Here's your actual sentence: "One certainly must appreciate the great work ethic of all those Black musicians to so dominate so many seminal genres of American music--- and all INVENTED by them! (unlike, say, Asian interpreters of "Western" music)." I recognized your passive aggressive writing for what it was and replied in kind.
As for your continued snarky references to my my very respectful previous posts about rap music, I guess you missed the one in which I noted that the original rap music was composed not by African Americans, but by William Walton and Edith Sitwell in their collaboration, "Facade", first performed in. . . 1923. In other words, WHITE PEOPLE invented rap music.
