Why Asian girls are not so big in the western <span title="fashion/music/beauty/entertainment">fashion/music/beauty/ente...</span> industry?

Question

I know...you might say 'Well 'coz they're not Westerners...' but...basically I was just wondering...

I was looking through a magazine today and I noticed that there aren't a lot of Asian girls say...(Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, Filipino's...etc on it...) I know a lot of people who think Asian girls are hot and yes, they are very pretty and just so attractive and everything and I just think..Yeah Yeah they're so cool! I definitely agree but...how come they're not featured in many UK or American magazines? I mean, Asians dress so good and for some reason, almost all kinds of clothes suit a lot of Asians...Is it because most of them are from small powerless (compared to Americans and British ppl) countries?

Just wondering that's all...

Answer 1

I think the media in the US only makes room for so many @ once in my opinion.  

Answer 2

Well, mostly because it&#039;s the commercial industry. Western magazines mainly target a Caucasian or African American audience (the majority populations), so having Asian models wouldn&#039;t benefit the advertising I guess.

I&#039;m not so sure about the music and entertainment industries though... I guess since the majority of people aren&#039;t Asian, recording labels and movie producers tend to look for artists with a look that more people will buy and relate to.

Answer 3

most asians,like me,are short.so we aren&#039;t featured in magazines because of our height.Now if you&#039;re a great actress/singer like brenda song,vanessa hudgens,or the asian lady from greys anatomy then yea,everyone knows you.but plain and simple we&#039;re TOO short to be in the mags.
