"Yellow Fever," similar to "Jungle Fever," is hardly a complimentary term. It usually means the man involved thinks a woman is "exotic." It may also mean the man involved objectifies the woman, meaning, he doesn't see them as a person, but more of an object of desire.
If someone objectifies you, you're in trouble from the start.
Particular men may be particular about what "flavor" of Asian female they prefer: Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hawaiian (as there has been a history of marriage between the aforementioned groups and Hawaiians) or other Asians/Pacific Islanders.
This holds true for jungle-preferred guys: some only date extremely dark women, or only women from Haiti, Nigeria, or only fair-skinned black women.
But, remember, this is more about a man's KINK, than about who YOU are or where you or your family originated from.
Best to find out if you're a sort of fetish for a man, rather than a person who happens to have an ethnicity that a man finds physically more attractive. Be careful.

Depends on what you consider to be a fetish.
If it's just a preference nothing wrong with it really. Many people look for both physical attraction and personality in a partner, might just be that he favors Asian looks and/or some characteristics common in Asian culture. I wouldn't really call that a fetish, but wouldn't recommend dating someone that has a clear preference opposite of what you are.
But I think everyone should stay away from true fetishist, which in this case is someone that only goes for a certain type and almost any person of that type and objectifies them by culture more than seeing them as an individual.
Asian cultures socialize their females differently than Christian Western children...
this 'bed rock' innate developmental exposure 'shapes' their psyche's at the root level.
The 'Chikan' fetish is by far, more prevalent abroad.
Whilest STILL illegal, over here #MeToo and gallantry demands by-standers assault intervention.
For me its mostly just my subconscious associating Asian women with the Asian women I've had positive experiences with in the past.
And no that doesn't mean that I'd be willing to date any woman just because they are Asian.

No.
Honey, you are worth more than just a fetish
That’s absolutely unacceptable. Don’t accept such garbage filthy men into your space. Stay away……ugh, I can’t believe this , that’s so badDepends, are they respectful of women in general? If not, then no. Really, just having an affinity for a specific race isn't a bad thing. However, if not kept in check it can become one. When you see them as sexual conquests or play things you have gone too far with it.
Yellow Fever is a disease, it doesn't turn guys into zombies! So if you trusted them before they caught is, you can trust them after!
What makes them less trustworthy than white guys who like blondes with big boobs? Or brunettes with a bubble butt?
I don't know. Full disclosure I've always wanted to date an Asian woman and regret that I never did n I'm a white guy. You Asian women are just seductive, smart and sexy.
No! That's an infectious disease. You could catch it yourself! :-o
Do they exclusively date Asian women, or do they just have a preference for it? I find a lot of Asian women attractive, but I don't limit myself to that.
Asians tend to be more feminine in my opinion. I think that is why a lot of men gravitate towards them. That and growing up with Japanese/Korean cultures becoming more mainstream.
So first I thought you meant a disease. Then I realized you are just incredibly racist.
Should you trust a guy with good taste in women? 🤔
It's not that their Asian per se. It's that their not as toxic as black or white women. And their culture is more traditional.
If they are fetishizing about it then it’s just because of your race, but I just date women because I like them and I’ll date any race
That might be what you think.
I'm attracted to attractive women. I don't care what their heritage is.
I FIND ALL TYPES OF WOMEN EQUALLY LIKE ME AND SHE IS VERY GOOD AT A LOT MORE THAN JUST BEING THAT WAY.
What on earth is yellow fever?
Everyone has their preferences I guess.
No. Race fetishes are a red flag
As much as he should trust you.
