LoginThis time, things are a bit different though, perhaps more enlightened. It does NOT refer to all white men who like Asian women. There are no monolithic groups of race in 21st century America. Because honestly? Kidding of course.
Our editorial content is not influenced by any commissions we receive. As a white kid growing up in a largely Chinese suburb of Toronto, I spent much of my time thinking about Asian girls. Back then, the term was shorthand for someone white who had a crush on someone Asian, and at our school, it applied to the girls as much as it did the boys. To me, it was just another form of teasing that I threw into my sizable trashcan of forgotten terms, lying dormant all these years—until now. To some, its subtext is heavily charged. A sexual objectifier.
An hour later, he begins whispering sweetly to you… in Japanese. And finally, it clicks. Dating outside of our race can be complicated for a variety of reasons, but that nagging question comes up over and over again: do they like me for me, or do they like me for what they think I represent? And although there are certainly people who exoticize Asian men, more often than not Asian men are desexualized , while anti-Blackness pervades and white men are put on pedestals. Of course, people from different racial or ethnic backgrounds can and should absolutely have genuine relationships with each other. The problem is that Asian fetishes are slightly more nuanced than the racialized catcalling and sexual harassment so many of us are subject to on a daily basis.
Vietcetera adds to the little dialogue on yellow fever of Vietnamese women and why factors such as Hollywood bring Asian fetishes into existence. Conversations about yellow fever, or Asian fetish, a term coined specifically for men who have a special affection towards Asian women, have been around for decades. But only in the United States does there seem to be debates. Now, more Asian-American women are sharing their opinions and stories.
