September 26 Yellow FeverA friend recommended a short home-made video on youtube called "Yellow Fever". It was hilarious. The manga-like acting, the funny sound effect, the cute actor, the T-shirt with Chinese characters 白人看不懂 (meanning: white people can't understand this)...It's just frigging funny. Maybe a little bit racism,yes, but not in a hostile way. A lot of stereotype things, but yeah, things are called stereotype because they do frequently happen!
A brief search of "yellow fever" totoally surprised me. I didn't even know there's such a trend. Just facebook alone has about 40 groups related to yellow fever. As I understand, the expression is no longer limited to the sexual preference (especially non-Asian guys for Asian girls), it represents any preference for anything Asian, such as food, culture, pop music and movies, anime...It totally surprised me that so many people claimed (at least they say) to have "yellow fever". While I surely don't feel like this way around here, even though it's pretty populated by Asians. I actually met someone who told me that he hated Asian food! (I didn't know such people exsited, hahaha..kidding)
