When you live in Korea, you're probably going to date Koreans. This is how I respond to the statement that foreigners want to date Koreans.

Yeah, we live in a country with a population being around 48 million I think, with it predominately being Korean to an almost absurd level. While I don't doubt that there are people who are just targeting Korean girls to date, it's reductive to just say that everyone has yellow fever

Yellow fever is a term thrown around to either:
1. Share a laugh about how there are a ton of pretty girls around.
2. Disparage people for not sticking to their own.

While 1 is pretty innocent, 2 obviously isn't, so it's not the best term to actually use in any context.

I don't know why we as a society have decided that it's only slightly impolite to use that term. I personally think it's as offensive as jungle fever.

edit: I guess it's fair to say that there are a category of anime-obsessed dudes who like Asian girls because they perceive them to be submissive sex dolls, but by making it fair to use the term to describe those guys, you open the door to 2.

I would hope those white dudes arent dating/married to those Korean women just because they're Korean. I'm still dating that girl so, it's not like I'm not in this situation (shes who this conversation was with.)

I asked here because a lot of the people here seem to be very aware of things like this, it's the difference between this thread and the Korean drama and kpop thread.

I dated and married a Korean because strangely, the vast majority of the women here seem to be Korean for some reason.

I would never say we (the foreigners in Korea) all fetishize Asian girls, and that's kind of why I asked here. Probably because it gets hard to keep any "omg Asianz so kawaii" stereotypes when you live here and interact with them daily. I think we might on average be a little more self aware and able to talk about the phenomenon ("yellow fever", asian fetish, whatever you call it) though.

Although I have met a few guys here like that, usually very new to Korea and they dont seem to last long. There was the classmate I had I mentioned a little while back who went to China specifically to meet an Asian girl.

I think, back home though it is more of a thing. I'm not talking about white guys coming to Korea who end up dating/marrying Korean girls. Just, back home there are a lot of cases where East Asian girls are going to get way more attention than other girls, and I dont think it has a lot to do with who they are as people but just because they're Asian.

I'm being careful with my words here because I'm really not trying to offend anyone. Of course people in Korea date Korean people, that's not what I'm getting at.

"Yellow Fever"

Prepare for a stream of conciousness:

I think a contributing factor is the lack of foreigner population. There are enough foreigner women around to know they still exist, but most chances are you are coupled with them or they aint into you because of personality conflicts, type, you work together, or really any number of reasons. So, you end up hooking up with an asian woman. You compare and contrast and try and see why it didn't work out with Mrs Rachel who works in hagwon #349 but it did work out for this tiny asian woman. Well, first big difference is race... that explains dut dut and do... k figured it out. When in reality it's turns out Mrs Kim is all about goofy anime and Mrs Rachel is all about the Social Justice Warrior. Mrs Rachel is 1/5 the white women in your town, Mrs Kim is a fish in the sea.

Of coarse, I'm brown and I found the one black woman on the pennesula and put her on lockdown, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask.

Nope, just Asian air quality. I need to get far away from any Korean city for a few breaths.
