This article is not about love and/or interracial relationships. For the latter, see interracial marriage.

Asian fetish is a slang term meaning the sexual preference for Asian people.

Asian fetish as a stereotyping of Asian personality traits

In the afterword to the 1988 play M. Butterfly, the writer, David Henry Hwang, using the term "yellow fever," discusses white men with a "fetish" for Asian women. Hwang argues that this phenomenon is caused by stereotyping of Asians in Western society.

According to Sheridan Prasso, Asian fetish denotes a perceived sexual attraction favoring Asian people for their race and perceptions of their culture.

Phoebe Eng has argued that not all Asians feel that Asian fetish is bad, since it has given new sexual visibility and liberation to an otherwise invisible and disempowered minority.

Use as a condemnation of interracial relationships

Erika Kim, one author in an anthology written by young Asian American women, feels that the concept of the Asian fetish pressured her to associate with Asian men and feel guilty about attraction to white men. Tracy Quan, a Salon sex advice columnist, believes that non-Asian men in relationships with Asian women feel pressure because of the possibility of having an Asian fetish.
