I don't get it. Pop is HUGE in Asia and the US Asian population out numbers many minorities. So why don't we have a major Asian pop star in the US?

CL is coming

Western world isn't interested.

Racism

Jhené Aiko just had a big hit with Post To Be.

Edit: I think the reason there haven't been any major K-Pop acts to cross over is because their productions are often really busy and over stimulating and if there is one thing that turns off the public, it's that.

CL is coming.

lol

She's Asian?

And I said major stars. Looking back in music history I don't recall ANY Asian pop superstar in the US

Asian pop is pure trash

Only 5.4% of the American population is Asian. This girl is white/asian tho, https://twitter.com/manikaofficial

Ummmm

I think about this all of the time.
If only Utada was successful... her music is so good
we def need an Asian pop star here tho

Racism tbh.

wait what!? do you have receipts on this?

Far East Movement semi happened this decade I guess...?

There have been Asian artists. Far East Movement had like two hits 5 years ago.

Besides many Asian artists don't come with the right sound, at the right time. I don't think anyone cares that much about race they just need the right material.

Manika is coming.

Pretty much. I don't think we'll ever see that tbh. I can't picture American people idoliziling an Asian pop star.

Avril Lavigne?

US Asians outnumber which minority? I thought they were the smallest.
There should be huge Asian pop stars in the US. K-pop and J-pop are just starting to get popular here. I mean asian pop stars have a massive fan base so idk why they don't cross over like European artists. (well I know why..)

Lol. Everyone knows this is false. Race plays a big factor in success and cross-over appeal
