SEX & HEALTH: DATING & RELATIONSHIPS
According to the Urban Dictionary:
Yellow Fever 1. A slang term used to mock non-Asian males who have a clear sexual preference for women of Asian descent to an obsessive degree. Wasn't too widely known until the release of "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle." Symptoms may include a fascination with Hello Kitty, Japanime, Mr. Chu's Asian Beaver, Japanese culture and language. Some may claim to be improving Asian standards of living by offering a larger penis size, which is usually an obvious lie. Other symptoms of yellow fever include stalking, half-hearted attempts to learn Japanese/Mandarin/Cantonese/Korean and whacking off to Sailor Moon videos.
2. An infectious tropical disease carried by mosquitoes.
While Yellow Fever is not a crime, it can be annoying. When I first came to Los Angeles, a beautiful Japanese friend informed me in hushed tones, “Please, beware of the Asian Freaks.”
Asian Freaks?
Huh?
Is this similar to “Beware the Ides of March?
All too often, we are conditioned by Asian culture to go out of our way to be polite.
I'd never heard the term, but I was soon deluged with various men asking me, “Where are you from?” And when I said, “California,” they responded, “No, where are you FROM?” Total strangers have informed me, “I’m looking for an Asian wife.”
As if I asked Or cared. Don’t look at me, Dude.
If someone is annoying you in this manner or makes you feel uncomfortable, there's nothing wrong with being polite -- initially. ("Thanks, I'm not interested.") If this doesn't work, let someone else hold the title of Miss Congeniality. Be curt and walk away. Ignore stupid questions. ("Do you speak English?") He doesn’t deserve to know you, even something as simple as your name. Pretend to be deaf, dumb and mute. I have pretended on several occasions to not speak English. Looking Asian can be handy.
You should probably resist the temptation to snarl, "Why the HELL are you so obsessed?" but it can be very effective under the right circumstances; time-appropriate bitchiness is a wonderful thing.
All too often, we are conditioned by Asian culture to go out of our way to be polite. Being a nice person can't outweigh the need to react properly in uncomfortable or threatening situations. If a weirdo, Asian Freak, or inappropriate suitor is intent on playing hardball, fight back. Don’t appear weak. Listen to your gut instinct -- if someone seems to want something from you, they do. If they seem strange, they are. If they have Yellow Fever, I'd watch out. Because in reality, me not love you long time.

Jul 1, 2010 @ 05:36 pm Doug Ross (not verified) said: I grew up in the SF Bay area and lived, worked in Hawai'i and China for years before returning to the US Mainland. Guess what? The majority of my friends are Asian and I've always been the the minority as the Gwai Lo or Haole. So it's no surprise my GF's were ethnically Asian and I eventually married a mainland Chinese woman. Our son just graduated high school & now onto college. So where we lived nobody cared and we didn't think of using the Yellow Fever term. But for you single White guys today interested in foreigners, Love may be blind but please learn another language, show respect for the culture and yes, make a commitment and marry the woman. You'll be happier, live longer and no one can accuse you of this derogatory slang, Yellow Fever. However there are millions of 2nd & 3rd generation brilliantly talented and beautiful Asian women already here in the US who may give you a chance if you're empathetic, will listen, have patience, a sense of humor and treat her like a Queen. Then you just might make it. Best to all, Doug Ross |

Even MissJ admits, "On the one hand, its kind of flattering...". Yes it is. Better than not being adored and sought out by any guy. And what about all the Asian women with White Fever? Its easy for Asian women to go around pretending like they're some kind of victim or disgusted by the label, but last time I checked, those are the EXACT same Asian females who go out seeking "white guys only" while dissing and rejecting their own blood. That sounds more like "White Fever" to me. I don't know if the author is one of these types, but I would HOPE NOT for it would be quite hypocritical if you ask me. |
