I don't think it's a Kpop thing though. People have always loved shitting on boy bands.
Most people never really cared for One Direction or Justin Bieber because the hype was mainly from their fandoms. But girl groups won't get the same reaction.

this sort of...

as you said, it's not a just a kpop thing. boy bands in general are looked down upon. the media influence society. and american media doesn't do anything to improve that image for bts either. however depending on what school and what neighborhood, the "cool" kids are from, well girls, are sometimes big fans of boy groups too.

 

hmmm i don't know...i feel an all asian girl groups would be cool for a split second...then treated as some sort of fetish and otaku thing for men

Americans like American stuff; they can understand it, and it's relevant to their lives. 

good point too

an all asian group will always have it hard in america (and kpop groups don't even speak english...)

still many barriers. the main one being the majority (so americans themselves)

asians are a minority.

all white boy groups still seem to do better then any other in america

i guess, being in a diverse group is an asian idol best chance at getting some respect from the majority
