Well, most of the YELLOW FEVER are attracted any asian girls.
From my perspective and experiences with these guys, they are usually white males and are unpopular among white females.
They insist that they are not interested in blond girls but I assume that these yellow fevers know blond girls would not be attracted to these YELLOW FEVERs.
One of the Yellow fevers I know is terrible.
He learns and teaches Chinese and hangs out with many asian girls whichever country in asia she comes from.
He takes advantages of being a white male and just fucks with asian girls. He knows asian girls like blue eyes, white and takes care of girls a bit nicer than asian guys does it. One of his girls used to pay his expenses and travels ticket to Korea. The other girl from Taiwan paid every expense like food for him. This guys' rumor were spread out among asian community in Arizona State University. But suprisingly he was selected by Flagship program and learned Chinese through these girls and girls in China. There are so many victims of this guys in asian countries. But unfortunately, these targeted girls do not think he is a barbarian. I warned my friend who was entrapped his love trap.
She still does not think he was a bad person.
Poor girls.......... As a woman, I do not understand why these girls get involved in this guy.
He is not a good looking guy at all and he does not treat girls like any other american guy. There is no good things about him.
Well, I want asian girls take care of themselves and be strong to judge a guy like miles.

*Hahaha* I agree when you stated "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." Also, getting hit on by non-Asian guys could sometimes be funny and annoying. I remember last time me and my best-girl friends (all Asians) went shopping at the mall. This guy (who happens to be white in his late 20's) came and talked to us about how "he enjoyed Asia: Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc etc). We all got the vibe he thought we're all foreigners, even though all of us are American born and have NEVER been to Asia. We weren't rude to him, we actually liked listening to him talk (he was cute and charming).
Another time, while waiting under the tree reading my book before my next class starts, a guy (who happens to be white) came and said "Emily Dickinson is a good writer." We conversed for about 8 or 10 minutes until he said "I have a lot of money and I have a big truck." In my mind, I was thinking he thought I was desperate or a good digger... I immediately said "Oh, I'm late to class" although I went hiding in the library.

Candace I agree with you. As an East Indian male I have to deal with the same kind of nonsense from white women. Most are too dense to even try acting smart. One time somebody straight out says " wow if I never saw you I would never know if you were east indian, you don't have an accent! lol!!"

Candace, you are kind and polite to say "sorry I don't speak English" when a creepy weirdo total stranger walks up to you and says "I am looking for an Asian wife", wtf?!? How about telling the goof "don't boost yourself too much buddy!" that would be the best warranted response and as much as it is truthful most westerners would feel it is rude and inappropriate. Yea sure and like coming up and interrogating somebody's ethnic background is the norm.

Candace,

After reading through your article on "Yellow Fever" I was really amazed by the amount of arrogance you express in your discussions. From the way that you write you sound like someone of average to above intelligence which is why the concept for your argument really puzzles me. If we break down your debate into the simple premise of men being attracted to women, then we all know men are attracted on a visual basis, where as women are attracted more on an emotional level.

So now we have this simple premise lets apply it to the concept of Yellow Fever, and Fever meaning that its a condition that is out of control and lacks any rational. Asian women physically are different to western women, they are even different to black, middle eastern, and any other races on this planet. If we use your theory we would naturally assume that there would be conditions such as Black Fever, or Arab Fever, have you ever heard of any such condition? You know at the bottom of this all comes one very apparent theme.

Asian women are very self conscious and shy about the way that they look, having spoken to numerous asian women they are constantly comparing themselves to White girls. I've never once met a White girl that compares herself with asian women. Deep down this term Yellow Fever is a form of racial hatred, and it shows extreme arrogance towards people. There will always be bizarre people that have fetishes in certain areas of their life, but going around labelling them and trying to place yourself above other people is not something that is morally right, and should never be encouraged.

Im actually amazed that Asian women care so passionately about using the phrase Yellow Fever. Is it not that of kids that go around name calling others, and as an adult you must surely have moved beyond this childish behaviour.

I will leave you with this question to mull over,

If an asian woman only likes to date western guys, does that mean she is suffering from White Hype?

"Yellow Fever" and attraction are TWO different thing. A lot of times we intertwined them because we think that attraction to one race means for one to have "yellow" or "white" or "black" or "red" fever. Yes, I am less attracted to Asian men; however, I am more willing to date Asian men who ARE my friends rather than strangers. I am attracted to white men and it's probably because I live in this country call United States of America that values the monoculture AND demean the other cultures. It's probably "white" fever.

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,

Just because a white male is with an Asian female does not mean he suffers from “Yellow Fever.” A friend’s wife recently accused me of having yellow fever. I was offended by the accusation and felt that it debased my fiancé by stereotyping and objectifying her. I’m Scandinavian and have always preferred Scandinavian women. Where I live the Asian population is 2.5% so it’s not a place where you regularly rub shoulders with Asian people and Asian women have never been on my radar. To be honest I always saw Asians as a “model minority” that focuses more on their own culture rather than assimilation. I never had problems meeting women but had difficulty finding the right girl then I met and fell in love with a Chinese girl who possesses all of the qualities I desire in a wife and mother. I was concerned about cultural differences and communication problems and I had to come to terms with entering into a cross-cultural relationship that will face many difficulties other couples don’t face. The predominant local culture/religion here “discourages cross-cultural marriages.” Her Asian heritage was more of a negative factor rather than a positive factor when considering the relationship due to the concerns about the problems we could face in a cross-cultural marriage. True love has no bounds. I do not possess a “clear sexual preference for women of Asian descent to an obsessive degree.” I fell in love with a girl of Asian descent. I agree that men with yellow fever are creepy. It’s unfortunate that good family oriented men devoted to one Asian girl are lumped into this perception. It’s also interesting to note that, in my experience, the vast majority of people who vocally disapprove of cross-cultural relationships are Caucasian females.

Why do Asian women always act like they're some kind of "victim" when they know full well that this whole "Yellow Fever" phenomenon works in their favor? 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.
