Not offense, but I think it is inappropriate/inaccurate to use "yellow" to describe Asians.
This is Asian:

I've heard "yellow fever" as a term used to describe people who have a "thing" for Asians. Not Asians themselves. In that context I don't see it as being offensive, but then I'm not Asian.

it's strange. white people are chill being white. black people are chill being black. brown people are chill being brown. but Asian people are definitely not chill being referred to as yellow. i wonder why. lol.

but Asians dont really look yellow thats the prob. its just undertone. its like if we started calling a white person pink

[karahiri]

@Ghosted but white people aren't even close to white. and black people are brown. so... that makes no sense either.

thats not what i mean. im talking about being defined by undertones not the closest color. i feel like Asians coulld be white or brown. yellow just sounds like an electric color. red for native americans also sounds weird. everyone just looks white, brown, or black to me lol

but thats just me. i think for others its cuz "yellow" has racist history like "negro" does.

I'm not asain but I find it weird when a guy says "jungle fever". It's really weird because I didn't know guys liking black girls was that crazy

[Asker]

[AngelLily]

[Asker]

[Asker]

[RightMan]

by the way, it is offensive.

[Asker]
