Asians are very hard to find in north american popular music. By "popular music", I mean "pop", "rock"and "rap". And there are no stars I can think of. Why is that?

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

I think the brothers in the speed metal band Death Angel are filipino. But that's all I can think of.
Then there's Loudness. A heavy metal band from Japan. They sucked and had no commercial success in the U.S.
Death Angel had some cool songs. I recommend them. Their drummer was only 14 when their first album was released.

hmm, turns out I may be wrong.
one website says they are hispanic. I could have swore I heard they were philipino. I may have to verify this.
technically they are americans as they come from the bay area metal scene.Comment
