Why aren't there asian solo artists in mainstream commercial music?

Who can name me one SUCCESSFUL solo asian artist in commercial music (pop/r&b/rock/dance)? There isn't !  I am not counting the bands that may have one asian in it, but ONE SOLO ARTIST to the magnitude of Beyonce, Rhianna, Katy Perry status... I am not counting classical and jazz genres either.

Is it racial?

From my experience being an asian artist in commercial music, the western world is just not ready for it yet. 

I was once told r&b/pop genre is racist and exclusive to blacks and whites and latinos...

Is that true?
