There are probably a million reasons why people around the world listen to American music, and it doesn't all have to do with the market, although, I'm not going to say that America having the biggest industry has nothing to do with it. It most certainly does, but that's not everything.
and what hpg23 meant by the last comment, was that, there are many people around the world who are adamant about people not being racist towards them, to the point where they even get angry if people call them something they aren't (to use his example, mexicans and "latin americans"), yet they are racist towards other cultures themselves, calling japanese things chinese and such.
To which I say...it is very annoying, but it's more ignorance than racism. You can't blame people for being stupid when that's all they know.
actually my favorite quote in this matter comes from pirates of the caribbean lol towards the end i think, when the crew leaves Jack and Elizabeth...he says, "They done what's right by them, can't ask more than that." And that's very true, of all people.
