Default Asian fruits?!!

I've always wondered why Americans (blacks and whites) don't normally eat Asian fruits. Some of the fruits are super delicious and so sweet, such as lychees, longans, jackfruit, mango, mangosteen, durian, etc. (you can add some more here). They are not hard to get imported here. Why not eat them? Too good for Asian fruits? I love buying some of those fruits from Chinatown, but they're pretty darn expensive.

I love 99% of asian food. THere is pretty much nothing I wouldnt eat.

However, Durian, while tasting good, smells putrid, and I just cant eat it.

To me, durian tastes okay, but smells really good.

Oh, they'd be much less expensive if they were imported here more often.
