Do you suspect your partner of having "Yellow Fever"? Does he "only date Asian chicks", and refer to us as "the hottest women in the world"? He may have Yellow Fever.
Here's how urbandictionary.com describes "yellow fever": A term usually applied to white males who have a clear sexual preference for women of asian descent...
That's the nice version. Here's my own definition: Yellow fever is the act of some clown...typically an agendaless beta male who can't exert himself outside of the world of anime and jpop...who is solely attracted to women of a specific or random Asian ethnicity based on old skool stereotypes and self-perceived importance. His charismatic deception makes you think you're an individual to him, but you're really just a tiny, broken-English speaking, nail buffing, super quiet in bed baby-maker.
Below are the symptoms of Yellow Fever. Add the points up truthfully, and then check the score card at the bottom.
1. Does your boyfriend refer to you as "oriental"? Does he think you're a rug?
+/- 5 points
2. Does he refer to his penis as "Godzilla"?
+/- 5 points
3. Is he a Republican?
+/- 500 points
4. Does he like Star Wars?
+/- 20 points
5. Does he have an insatiable appetite for all things "oriental" (i.e., cultural studies, learning kanji, etc.), because he thinks it makes you-so-horny?
+/- 5 points
6. Does he get a woody at the thought of living amongst the huge Chinese population in Toronto?
+/- 5 points
7. Does he froth at the mouth at the thought of you dressing as Sailor Moon for Halloween?

8. Is he a huge fan of "Transporter"-type movies (white guy saves sweet, innocent, subservient AF from the big bad men)?
+/- 5 Points
9. When you first met him, did he use any of the following phrases: "I love oriental women", "sucky sucky", "but your eyes aren't that squinty"?
+/- 5 Points
10. Did he date an AF before you, and then (while you were in the aftermath of a massive damn earthquake in Japan and frantically searching for your family members, and called him incessantly) avoided you for months, and then (when you came home and tried to reconnect, he'd already) traded up for a shiny new AF?

Seriously, folks. It's okay to date anyone of any race. I've never dated an Asian man. Not that I've had 100 dates. But I don't actively seek out men of a specific race. Because doing so would mean I think something's wrong with all the others. And that's just dumb.

men are the ones that approach women most commonly. They plan in advance the girls they are going to hit on. Or its just like a general thing. I mean, white girl, white girl, white girl, asian girl. hey hey, hi, my name is Dan and I just wanted to introduce myself. Your eyelashes are really on point today and I just wanted to say they look great. Whats your name. So you have got a man or what, I'm just curious. Oh, can I buy this for you, because I think you would look great in it, yeah. lets grab lunch when your done shopping. C'mon, don't hate, dont hate, i'm not a bad guy, just go shopping with me once. its in public, free clothes, whats not to like. Your boyfriend, Girl, if he is still your boyfriend, then his mind isn't in the right place, its time for you to move on.
Thank you so much for that thoughtful comment, Fannie Hsu. I think we're all affected by yellow fever in some way. Sometimes, it's difficult to even recognize it. We want to be seen as individuals, but some only see us as ridiculous stereotypes. :/
