What Do Japanese Girls Think of 'Yellow Fever'/Submissive Stereotype? (Interview)

[@mirandap3512]

Like a few have pointed out, there's a difference between preference and "yellow fever". Some guys find the typical physical Asian features to be attractive, and that's okay. Just like it's okay to prefer the certain AESTHETICS of one race over another. It becomes a problem when they only want to date the idea of an Asian and not the person itself.

[@vlo4829]

Think I accidentally clicked "cancel". Take two: Some also seem to get "yellow fever" because they think it's the cure for being burned by someone of their own race (usually a white guy getting burned by a white girl). These types have a chip on their shoulder, they talk up Asian women while talking down about other women. Run if you meet one of these

[@stefanmuc2k]

It's true that some people utterly ignore the person and instead just project a stereotype on them. However "yellow fever" makes it sound like attraction to a girl with Asian features is kinda like an illness, something normal men should not feel. That's a deeply racist concept, and I don't think it's specifically applied to men who have stereotypical ideas about Asian women, but rather generally to disparage WM/AF relationships. (I've never heard it applied to AM/WF relationships, don't know if it occurs there, too.)

[@vlo4829]

It is applied as a negative and yes, it is sometimes falsely applied to any Asian and non-Asian relationship (usually males), but the use seems to be mostly by white people... To keep each other in line? And by Asian women to warn each other. The fetishization of Asian women fostered that image that Asian women are something "to be into" as if it's kinky, like S & M

[@dot5483]

It should be extremely rare to like the features of only one race. judging by the number of guys who "just happen" to like Oriental features and the heavy stereotypes surrounding Orientals in the West, I'm highly sceptical of any guy who claims he just happens to like the way we look.

[@limbus_patrum]

Does anybody believe that guy prefers asian girls because of stereotypical behaviour not because of her looks. Does anybody thing looks don't mater for guys? Some just prefer blond hairs, and some round Asian faces...

[@jeremymain7303]

[@saldiven2009]

I think there are different levels of what can be called "yellow fever." Some people, for example, find the general features of people from Asia to be attractive (general hair color, eye color, skin tone, height, build, etc.). It's not any different from a person who likes blondes or redheads, tall guys or short guys, athletic bodies or skinny bodies. For this kind of person, the ethnicity is merely the first visual bit of attraction, and any real relationship will develop based on personalities, values, goals, etc. Ethnicity is just one physical element of what he/she seeks in a partner, and that physical element doesn't carry additional intangible expectations about the target of his/her attraction. I think this variation of "yellow fever" is fairly benign. As one of the ladies in the video mentioned, it's just a matter of personal taste. Another version of "yellow fever" is one based on preconceptions and mis-perceptions. People who suffer from this version are also physically attracted to the ethnic features associated with people from Asia, but are more interested in perceived cultural or personality traits that they expect people from Asia to display. Sometimes, these expectations are not based in reality, but rather from movies, television, novels, or comic books. Yuta touched on one of the common misconceptions in that some people believe that women of Asian descent are "submissive," or at least more submissive than women from other ethnicities. The problem with this type of "yellow fever" is that real people will rarely, if ever, meet these fantasy-based expectations, and that will lead to disappointment and conflict for both parties.

[@Bubby91]

your comment is 100 percent correct. I generally find Asian girls attractive myself from a physical features standpoint. I dated a girl from Japan at my university who actually really liked me first when I wasn't good at getting the hint haha.. but she was beautiful and we got along through compatible personalities. Absolutely no preconceptions in my mind regardless of what race or country she came from. I treated her with respect like I would any girl, and she was my first Asian girlfriend even though I had found Asian girls attractive for some time. sadly things didn't work out in the long run and she moved back to Japan and we stopped dating. regardless of my sob story hahaha, I surely fall into the first category for my personal tastes. but I can't say I would ever exclusively date Asian women, It's hard to explain I guess.

The first time I ever heard someone you "Yellow fever" used as a dating preference, I was confused. I asked "Why would somebody use the name of a deadly disease that killed thousands, to having a fondness for asians?" I still find that phrase kinda childish... I feel the same about "jungle fever" too.

[@vandagylon2885]

@Char Char Binks lolno

[@skullplasma0221]

@Char Char Binks You're an idiot pretending to be a victim if you think it's anti white. Any race can have yellow fever (maybe not East Asians since they don't believe stereotypes about their race). Yellow fever is fetishising East Asian people and believing them to be stereotypical. Having preferences is different.

[@soulmask2781]

Buzzfeed: Yellow fever is so yucky and weird!! Real Japanese women: I don't mind... *giggles*

[@Ayveh]

I'm Mexican, Born and raised in the US and I have met guys who aren't Latinos who have told me they only date Latinas or Mexican's. Personally I like that response. It has its pro's. I have met plenty of Latinos who date only white girls so it is nice to hear that there are also other races that only date Latinas. The last guy I met like that didn't tell me he only dated Mexicans but he did say he loved Mexican Women and added me on facebook. I looked at his page and it shows through his posts and pictures that he is only attracted to Latinas (Especially Mexicans) He is Korean so that really surprised me since I had never seen a Korean date another race other than Asian and White. My brother mostly dates Asian girls which for me is cool since I am so facinated by their cultures. Korean, Japan's and China's culture are all interesting to me. If he married an Asian women I would be happy and would love to learn her native language while also teaching her Spanish. I myself also am really attracted to Asian Men. I have dated plenty of Latinos and even 2 white guys but now I am trying to only date Asian men since I keep finding them more attractive than my own Nationality. It is all about preference. Oh and of course personality also matters, I wouldn't date someone who is rude but super attractive.

[@deldarel]

I have two opinions about it: If the yellow fever is fuelled by stereotypes, then that person should learn it's simply not the case, but he'll find out after dating some asian women However, if it's about the looks, language, or anything cultural or biological that actually makes them different that you're attracted to, I don't think there's anything wrong at all. Beauty, both on the inside and outside, is subjective and no matter how I look at it, it can not be discrimination. If I only like asian girls, would that discriminate the rest of the world? If I take it one step further: if I only date girls, would that be discrimation to guys? Or a step back: If I like a specific asian girl, am I discriminating an asian girl i'm not attracted to? Or even: if I only like girls from any ethnicity except asian, would that be discrimination? It's simply sexual preference.

[@Dalmoon98]

[@ReiMeiMayonaka]

[@TetsuoSlade]

[@Watcher863]

No no no. If you find people of a certain race more attractive, then you're a racist! Obviously.

[@deldarel]

TheAznsenzation good point. I wasn't really thinking of people who would force asian women to fit the stereotype or would tunnelvision on those stereotypes, causing confirmation bias when they actually do listen to you or do bring you coffee when you work. A relationship in any case is usually 50% giving and 50% taking, but loving the biggest part of both. When the asian woman in the relationship does her 50% of giving, it fits their narrative and it's suddenly them being subordinate. This shallow approach completely throws off the dynamics in a relationship. This is a topic that's discussed waaaay too little. Not just with asian women, but with gender dynamics in general. It infuriates me because this is very important for a healthy relationship. Be with someone that you want to give to 80% of the time and those 50% given will be more sincere and those 50% she gives will make you feel like you get more than you deserve, but in a good way, not in a guilty way. Sorry, that was a tangent I felt I needed to bring up. But another good point you bring up is the difference between 'common ethnic features' and 'overgeneralisation'. That first one is biology, that second one is ignorance and could be actually discriminatory. This is a very important part of why yellow fever is looked down upon. People assume you overgeneralise asians, or even a specific country. The only real way you can keep specific countries apart is by living among them for a while. 'foreign asians' to the country you live will look different from where you live. This is natural. I'm Dutch and I can easily distinguish caucasians from neighbouring countries by facial features, even though an american couldn't. And in your last paragraph, where you say asian girls already get annoyed when a non-asian guy hits on them: Asians don't assume those things. They come from the same culture so they know better, but they are usually in the far minority in western cities. Even if we assume only 20% of the non-asian men are that shallow, if the population is 10% asian in that town, she'd still run twice as much into shallow non-asian as into an asian so the odds just seem extremely high for them. This doesn't really make sense if you think '80% of the non-asians are still decent people' until you think that those 80% simply wouldn't catcall or do perverted stuff that grabs your attention and disgust. They're a moving background.

Thanks for this Yuta. It's interesting to see the answers and in someways even more interesting to see how the answers are given. I often think that part of yellow fever is that different cultures have different behavioral norms and that someone from one culture might misinterpret the behavior of someone from another culture. I read somewhere recently that what people say isn't as important as how they say it. So maybe a part of this is how we intercommunicate with each other and what we think the message is.

They usually do. They tend to hang out in the same places, try any British bar in Tokyo on a weekend! Unfortunately, it doesn't really solve the problem, as both parties enter the relationship with unrealistic expectations of one another and as a result they rarely last long! What a "yellow fever" guy often fails to realise is that a Japanese girl who is willing to approach a foreign guy in a bar is likely very different to the Western idea of a stereotypical Japanese girl. The girl making the approach in itself is pretty unconventional in Japan.

[@Jjjohnwith3js]

+flyingroses Exactly. The women often go in as blind as the man. Perhaps more so, as the western gentlemen stereotype is still widely believed. When in reality, if that's what they want, they'd likely have more luck with a Japanese guy! Once the honeymoon period is over, and the cultural differences start to show, it doesn't take long for a foreigner/japanese relationship to deteriorate. Especially if it was born out of false expectations. Used to live over there myself and saw it many times.

I'm a young guy from northern Europe and I have studied abroad in Tokyo. I would say that the other side of the coin is a lot more extreme. In general, Japanese girls (NOT just "gaijin hunters") REALLY like western guys who are respectful, somewhat handsome and sweet/gentle. A lot (not all of them though) of my male Japanese friends are really shy/awkward around girls, not very good at having conversations with girls and not very gentlemanlike (but they obviously have a lot of other great attributes!). Every single time I went to bars/clubs in Tokyo I always got a ton of attention from girls. This might have a bit to do with my social skills, looks, personality etc. but I don't get anywhere near that much attention in my home country. When I walked around in Tokyo girls would shout "kawaii" all the time etc. My take on this situation is that there are some cultural things about western girls that some (not all) western guys don't like. In the same sense, there are some cultural things about Japanese guys that some (not all) Japanese girls don't like. Personally, I love that Japanese girls are really polite, sweet, considerate and cute (whereas western girls tend to be more in-your-face sexy which I don't like). However, I do find western girls attractive too!

[@davidevans7477]

Personally, liking the certain features that go along with a race (ethnicity) is ok. Just biological attraction. That is not affecting friendships or treatment of others very much. But many races have certain aesthetics that are cute if shown off right. This goes for both genders. One might be attracted to one, while another is attracted to another's body. It would not be fair to force someone to be with another they are not sexually attracted to. Any gender, of any ethnicity, can be very attractive, provided that their body is healthy. An unhealthy body is not very likely to be attractive. Simple biology. (By unhealthy, I am talking about if in general, like if someone is obese or starved. Not if one has a flu or some illness or health problem that is non aesthetically impairing. ). I am just being logical and practical here, but this is also to say that each human has different biological preferences. It is simple biology and nothing to be ashamed of. Just the passing on of genetics, and the forming of intimate bonds, with one another.

So, make sure you see what her personality is like when she is with her Chinese friends and family in a Chinese speaking environment. This is critical. I've date a number of Chinese girls. You have to be comfortable knowing that even if you speak the language, some ten year old dipshit kid will be able to speak to your girl better than you will most of the time. that can be fucking frustrating. And even here in America, and even if her English is perfect, she will always be Chinese at heart and you need to be comfortable with the culture and spend time doing Chinese cultural things. Best of luck.

I would say the term "yellow fever" is stigmatising persons who have an esthetic preference towards Asian people. This preference could have it's root in the visual differences, but can also be derived from a certain type of personality Asian societies are more likely to form in its members. So beyond the easy explanation that the "yellow fever" patient likes the looks of the typical Asian visual features we can have a deeper reason. Many westerners fall in love with Asian cultures and especially the Japanese culture aside of it being exotic to them it upholds virtues the West once had but often doesn't live up to anymore (,that is how I see it). The coexistence of tradition and innovation in the Japanese society breeds - in my opinion - particularly interesting personalities. Many Japanese women Probably wouldn't think of this reason by their own, because when you are so used to your culture you tend to take it for granted and don't think about it as much as an outsider probably would (generalisation, I am aware there are exceptions). And I end with what I said a couple of times when such a phenomenon was the topic of discussion: Sexual and romantic preferences are rarely racist.

Asian women want to fall in love. In the west, love is becoming more and more stigmatized as anti-feminist. And there is academic proof that most of the worlds men have "yellow fever." Who wouldn't to date them?

[@RamblinRick_]

The reaction of the young lady at 3:34 is perfect!! She's asked about Asian women being submissive (stereotype) and she responds about women walking behind men. Then asked if she does that personally. She avoids answering, but her eyes clearly say "Hell NO!!" I worked with a guy back in '85 who would date only Asian ladies. However, those ladies were assertive, not submissive. sidebar: I lived in Yokohama and Yokosuka from '68 to '70; I was an American high school student. When I rode the trains and buses, I noticed the Japanese girl students tended to be a bit shy. From this video, it appears the ladies have become more assertive in the past 40+ years. Then, again, in '68, the effects of the war (only 30 years prior) still lingered a bit concerning interaction with gaijin. (to my fellow westerners, "gaijin" means foreigner or animal--a holdover from Adm Perry sailing into Tokyo harbor.)

This strikes home a little bit for me. I dated black girls, white girls, hispanic girls over the course of my life. but 3 years back i decided to start learning Japanese (one of those things i've always wanted to do). I have always had what one might call "yellow fever" in the sense i usually think an asian woman is more attractive to me than other women. but since i started learning Japanese, I only dated or even paid much attention to asian women. it wasn't because I thought they were submissive (primarily because i had read a couple of books on Japanese culture past and present and learned about how the Japanese wife is basically in control of everything and the husband is just the work horse). I just prefered asian women, and wanted to have someone to help me learn the language. or course I missed the mark ever so slightly since I ended up dating a Chinese woman, and marrying her. She's the best, so i have no regrets. But technically you could say it was a result of yellow fever. I only think certain people look upon it negatively. Nothing wrong with liking who you like, right?

I find it weird how society muscles in on people's sexual preferences now. Like, what's inherently wrong with someone only being attracted to Asian women? Maybe they like their cultural values and physical appearance - and by targeting people who (most likely) share these qualities it's only prudent. Personally, I don't really understand the concept of targeting one race's women. Simply seems like you could be missing out on someone really great without knowing it - but at the same time.... The world doesn't move to the beat of just one drum, what might be right for many, may not be right for some, you'll have yours and I'll have mine, and together we'll be fine, it takes different strokes to move the world Great video though, certainly thought provoking.

You said it yourself. You lumped all Asian people together and said their cultural values and physical appearance are the same, or at least very similar, and that simply isn't true.

I said it on the last video about this, but i'll say it again. I think there are people in the comments that are confused about what tehy have. Some of you are just attracted to asians. Or your find them to be the prettiest, or you love their culture of wherever they're from or something. Thats not yellow fever. The fever is the obsession and total disregard of the person for who they are and more what they are. Imagine a trophy wife. No one wants to be a solely a trophy wife. Well, thats kinda what an asian gf is for a dude with the fever. If your preference is asian, then thats what it is, you like asians. But don't tell people you have the fever if you actually give a shit about the individuals. And jungle fever is the same. I mean...if you can even say that, then clearly theres something wrong with you, lol. Das all. I feel like this is the same as ppl who casually watch Anime and then call themselves "Otaku" as if they know what thats all about. I wonder if its just people desire to have a title or fit into a special group or club? Even if the reality is, they're nothing like what they claim to be.

[@Littlehands91]

I think for a lot of Asians, yellow fever is a negative term. Around the time I started dating my current girl friend, who is from Japan, I found out that there were tons of rumors that had been spread against me by senior, who were also in the Japanese Language Major. She told me about what she had heard, and I had no idea. A couple of my Korean friends confirmed that the rumor was pretty big among the foreigners. I found the people with in my major who started the rumor, and I confronted them, but there was no justice to be had. I had to out grow the rumor by distancing myself from the foreign community at my university for a period of time. I can warn anyone who wants to be taken seriously by Asians who come from another country, be careful how you present yourself, because if they believe that you have yellow fever, rumors will spread like wild fire. Now that i have out grown that term, I have reestablished my relationship with the foreign community at my school, but I am extremely careful with how I present myself. My girl friend supported me through that difficult time, even after she went back to Japan, and we plan on meeting up in my year study abroad in Japan.

[@RictaScale.Official]

it is perfectly natural to have a preference. If you prefer one thing, by extension you like other things less. Every single person in the world discriminates for one reason or another. You discriminate every time you make a choice. It is not possible to like all things the same amount.

The reason you found the male answers more interesting comes down to one of the many biological differences associated with gender. In this case, tribal loyalty. A womans loyalty is saved for her children, not for her race so to say.

[@generalesdeath5836]

The most common answer in these kinds of questions I find is, “If they’re a good person, and like me for me, it doesn’t matter.” To be honest, I think that’s a very healthy answer. I’ve dated girls who said they only like white guys. But if they liked me for more than just the fact that I was white, then it didn’t matter to me. Everyone has preferences, and who knows where those preferences come from? It doesn’t matter, really. If two decent people fall in love with each other, I think this is a good and healthy thing. I have my own preferences, and every girl or guy I’ve ever known has theirs; we are products of our environments quite often, and what we love is what we love. I think it’s sad that these things sometimes have negative connotations. But that’s just me!

[@IriaChannel]

I have "yellow fever", however I'm married to a white person. It's a physical aesthetic preference in my case-- I can't control my attraction. I doubt there's many people who're solely attracted towards social stereotypes; therefore, most people who would exclusively date Asian women, probably do so because they're also genuinely attracted to them. Nobody should be in the business of ridiculing others for their sexual preferences.

the answer is generally the same as racism in Japan. There's a big gap between youngsters and older people.

I will say that for me I don't think I have anything like "Yellow Fever" or the like, if I think someone is cool the race doesn't really matter, but I also have skin colours I don't like, it is more about where I grew up and the demographics of my region, I personally think that really dark skin is unappealing, but that is because where I grew up in there were not many people with really dark skin, at most light dark skin, but yeah it is about what I grew up with around me. I personally think that Asian Women in general tend to rank higher in terms of raw attractiveness for me, I just like their facial features, also since I am a tall guy even were I live, I am used to liking smaller women than me, since most tend to be shorter than me, it is a combinations of factors that make me think of of Asian women as more attractive than people of my own racial background, but it is not an exclusive thing, I think about atrractiveness from a first contact sort of way. And anyways saying you only date people from a certain racial is not racist, I mean afterall dating is a personal choice by both parties, it is not like you are being discriminated by a guy not wanting to date you, it is not like a violation of civil liberties, it can just be that the person thinks of a race as more attractive than any other and wants to have a partner who he likes physically and personally, but if you are dating someone only for their appearence it is wrong to date that way, sure you can date people of a specific racial group all you want and date within that race until you find someone you truly like, afterall even if you only date within a certain race, as long as you care about the personality and the person you date I see nothing wrong.

In general, I hate that whole range of questions. No one ever asks if it is okay for someone of race or ethnicity X to exclusively date race or ethnicity X; it is always race or ethnicity Y.

+Robert Wilson III But most of the Muslims around the world are the first to be against freedom of religion...

[@haltdieklappe7972]

Robert Wilson III I agree with him and I’m not even American. Islam is a cult

[@PureTranceSoul]

negative connotations? Idk.. I think we just think asian girls are most beautiful

[@MicPowell]

The negative connotations are the belittling notion is f looking at Asians as a sexual or public ally social fetish as opposed to a real sincere attachment!

[@PureTranceSoul]

i guess i was never around someone like that.. Idk We just said yellow fever whenever we wanted to fuck an asian girl xD

[@eartianwerewolf]

There are guys who say that American women suck and are too aggressive and tryiing to act like men, so they uphold women from other countries as a great example, and how women should be, and refuse to date others. It's not just Asian though, some claim this about European women as well.

There is no accounting for taste or fetishes. It's fine to be strongly attracted by certain traits, just don't let physical appearance be the only thing that sways whether you like someone or not.

Imagine if they was in a relationship with a big, Angry Black Woman. They don't know how lucky they is!

Yuta- I noticed when you asked that last question with both guys in your last video and girls there was confusion. The way you phrased it with those last two girls on the street at night seemed to work and lessen confusion. Thanks for the vids and emails!

Some of us just can't help being very attracted to Japanese women. But for me it's not *just* about looks, no matter how good someone looks to me, i'd still have to be attracted to the person(ality).
