Asian fetish is a slang term meaning the sexual obse 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.
