So white America doesn’t want to see Asian/Asian-Americans outside of their stereotypical roles, so K-Town has to go through YouTube, just like KevJumba and other Asian/Asian-American YouTube stars.
I have mixed feelings about K-Town. Yes, it certainly shatters existing stereotypes, but what new ones will it create? America’s Best Dance Crew broke the stereotype that Asians can’t dance (all the crews, except for IaMmE, have been majority or entirely Asian), but it created new stereotypes about Asian bboys. You win some, you lose some.
