Yellow Fever!! Exoticism, objectification, and fetishizing of the yellow skin. I've dealt with this so much myself and wanted to share my perspective on this topic. It’s prevalent everywhere and every single Asian I’ve known has faced this in dating and especially interracial relationships. This episode, we cover:
- The background of the word fetish
- Origins of yellow fever
- Whether or not fetishism is a problem or not
- My experience dating rice queens
- Racial fetishism on dating apps
- If it’s just a preference, is it okay?
- Prioritizing our values and what we’re looking for
- Advice on managing with rice queens and racial fetishism
