i dont no why. maybe they dont want to debt in america.
maybe one day

But the asian-fetish u usually hear guys say the for the asian girls, not the other way around usually. Someone might ask as asain chick out, but maybe not see an asian movie with subbtitles.

maybe the language.

America's history of racism against minorities has been appalling. Afro Americans were brought to this country in bondage and held in slavery for over eleven generations. Even after the abolition of slavery, blacks were treated as non-citizens. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Act in the sixties that blacks were granted the basic rights of a human beings. Over one hundred years ago, blacks owned 1% of the wealth in this country. One hundred years later blacks still own only 1% of the wealth in this country. American exterminated over 90% of the Native Americans. The trail of tears campaign against the native americans was organized murder against the very people that were the first americans. Asian americans have a history of abject racism going back to the dehumanizing days of the railroad construction where millions of Asians died and to the incarceration of Japanese americans in world war 2.

yeah I get what you mean... its like the Nazi Philosophy but hey some can really outperform the Americans its just that a big factor is home turf -_-

Wow, a good point brought up by the OP.

I'm not very learned about the American scene or the music industry, but I have to agree with the racial differences in America (as well as other countries, like here in Australia). Asians tend to stick to themselves, and trust their own race more so than other people, and the same would apply to Americans/Australians/Africans,etcetc. Since Asian families would have once been migrants to the country, they wouldn't have much of a standing amongst large businesses and stuff such as the entertainment industry. But now that time is passing, that's all changing, obviously.

Furthermore, theres probably tons of people keeping the record companies and other parts of the industry busy for every talent to be found, and seeing as a majority of America is White, it would make sense.

Also probably because of differences in what music they like. Being Asian myself, I, at times, prefer Asian music, and that would definitely not help me debut in a country such as America, or Australia. Along with that, I don't like rock music, and that seems to be what Western countries are into at the moment, which is also very different to the majority of the Asian music going around.

I guess racism COULD play a part in the subject, but I doubt it's that big a deal as to be deemed a main reason. Talent is all the same, as are human vocal chords. (you get what I mean, if not, don't take it literally)
I'm sure most talent-seekers know what they're looking for, and it's not a certain race.

Eh, thats what I think, correct me if I'm wrong.

Well first no one will understand that why....

i doubt it's racism...how come other country's music industry doesn't do well?? mostly because they don't speak english. more people can relate to the song and understand it if they know the language the song is in. sure, i like asian music, but i don't know like, 95% percent of the words, so i really don't understand the full meaning of it. it would be the same if i listened to a song in, oh say, swedish or something

I think it's because americans are only interested in americans. Though there is lots of exceptions but mostly thats because american ppl can call them american.

i don't know.. maybe because Asians mostly make songs of their own language?

coz asians are like into pop?
& americans are into raps.hiphop. watever ..haha..!

oh but some of them are doin' well now...just look at Apl d Ap of Blackeyed Peas, Nicole of Pussycat Dolls, Vanessa Hudgens and so on and so forth....for me, i guess if someone would just manage them well, asians can make it big in the US.

well ur right about that...and i do hope Charice of the Philippines and Rain of Korea can make it...and show them how good asians are...

I think the problem is language
