How is this reverse yellow fever? It's still yellow fever.

[Gaber]

I assumed from the title you meant coming over here and suddenly realizing just how much you were into white girls.

Well, it's sorta reversed since yellow fever is when a white dude goes after an asian pie.

Now, it's a white women going after asian sausages. Role reversal, isn't it?

[Dixon]

It would seem more like a reversal if Asian guys were going crazy over white girls.

[mayorgc]

wouldn't that be white fever?

[djsmnc]

Yeah, I think the reverse to yellow fever is still jungle fever.

[Chet Wautlands]

I had been led to believe that the reverse was 'fellow yever'. I read it in Hen's Mealth.

nah. this one is too easy to "read".

this "Finnish model" - have you seen a picture of her? it's in the Korea Times.

She's average at best (at least for me).

but.. but..

she COULD possibly be quite a trophy prize for Mr. Samsung, or Mr. Huyndai...... ya know.. one of "those guys".

so, as far as I'm concerned, this is a deliberate play on her part to get herself set up for life. It will be more difficult for her to achieve this via marriage, as many high worth K-males will be under family and cultural pressures to marry a pure Han girl and produce pure Han children.

if she went the mistress route, she'd make a fortune, but she'd find herself worthless in 10 years. Hence - looking for "marriage".

I used to think that the white preference for Asian was kind of weird and objectifying, until I moved to Korea and saw how Koreans think about white people. Dogs or gods, nothing in between.
