There's a reason why these factory manufactured plastic boy/girl bands don't make it in the West. We've already got our own, why should we listen to cheesy pop songs when we've got ones we can actually understand?

Seems like a push to call Psy's success racist, too. It's a legitimately catchy song, with a silly dance and a hilarious video, I don't think he got popular because he was Asian, but in spite of being Asian. Psy did transcend the barrier through humor and not taking himself seriously.

Idk. An IRL friend of mine opined a while ago that PSY's mainstream success had an undercurrent of racism to it, in that white American people weren't laughing with him but at him - "look at the funny azn dude" kinda thing. This seems entirely possible.

TW: Racism/sexism - just in case

This - after seeing the disgusting comments SNSD got - "Hey, aren't these the Wonder Girls? Did they add some members? They all look the same! Ooh, I want to fuck their yellow J*p pussies! Are they a parody group?", I pretty much expect the racism.

I disagree. I remember that it was actually the Asian diaspora in North America that really promoted Gangnam Style early on.

I first heard it when a Korean fandom friend sent me the youtube link! So that doesn't surprise me. But it's more the reaction from Average White American that my friend was bothered by.
