  1. As an Asian-American I am aware of the videos mention in the blog posts and I am subscribed to most of the accounts you posted about. My question is the popularity of theses Asian Youtube stars only toward Asians and if not are there also "communities" of other races on Youtube because i know the asian "Youtube celebirty" stars mostly know or know of each other.

  2. That's a great question and observation. Considering I surround myself with mostly Asians, some of these YouTube celebrities I did learn from my friends, the thought that there could be other communities of other races has never occurred to me. If it does, I've never heard of any. Or perhaps because these Asians, such as NigaHiga and KevJumba, are widely popular and feature their other Asian YouTube friends in their videos and so on, maybe YouTube is just naturally dominated by Asian YouTube users. Maybe that's why we rarely ever hear of other communities of races.
