The reason for this is that an Asian fetish is about more than just an attraction to the way Asian people look, which Prasso makes clear is not a big deal. “Everybody has something that turns them on,” she says. “What is wrong with that is when it crosses a line into expectations of behavior.” That’s the rub: “Yellow Fever" is about much more than sexual desire. It’s problematic when people project onto Asian people a whole lot of assumptions because of the way they look.
Of course, the societal expectation that you’ll act a certain way because of your race is true for all people. Dr. Benjamin Tong, professor and psychotherapist at California Institute of Integral Studies, lays it out like this in the series: “In the white community, Latina women are [seen as] hot, difficult to control, exotic but fiery. Asian women are more controllable. They live to please. Black women— wow, they’re too powerful. Watch out for ‘super mama.’ In everyday language you do still hear these things.”
