Yellow favor
Recently, I learn an interest phrase: yellow favor. At first I thought it is a good word means some one who interesting in Asian culture, but my friend told me this phrase has a negative meaning which means someone only date with Asian because they thought Asian looks very tiny and very cute, or they thought Asian like them, so they won't trying to understand who you really are and just date with you and them dump you and go on with another Asian. That is new for me, but I also know some people in China have white favor maybe for passport, I think it is terrible because people will doubt why this kind of people dating with me, because this favor, or because true love.what do you guys think of this?

Yellow Fever Dating
Recently I learned an interesting phrase: yellow fever. At first I thought it was a good (expression) which meant someone who is interested in Asian culture. However, my friend told me this phrase has a negative meaning which means someone that only dates Asian women because they think Asian girls look very tiny, very cute, or they think that Asians like them. They won't try to understand who you really are. They just date you, dump you and go and date another Asian woman. This concept is new for me, but I also know some people in China who have white fever (maybe to secure a passport).I think this idea of yellow fever dating is terrible because I can never be sure if the man is sincere and dating me for love. What do you guys think of this?

Yellow Favor
Recently, I learnt an interesting phrase: 'yellow favor'. At first I thought it is a good word and meant someone who was interested in Asian culture, but my friend told me this phrase has a negative meaning which means someone who only dates Asians because they thought they look very tiny and very cute, or they thought Asians liked them, so they won't try to understand who you really are and just date you and dump you and go onto another Asian. That is new for me, but I also know some people in China who have white favor maybe to obtain a passport. I think it is terrible because people will doubt why these kind of people date me; because of this favor or because of true love. What do you guys think of this?Very well written!

Yeah, what you're describing is called "yellow fever" (NOT referring to the disease, in this case). Not a very eloquent term, I'm afraid, but then that kind of deceit doesn't warrant any sugar-coating... :-(

I had to research this term and it is "yellow fever"...non-Asian men dating Asian women.
Also, vince is correct about the disease yellow fever.

Yellow fever is a disease spread by certain mosquitoes. It may cause damage to a person's kidneys, which leads to their skin appearing yellow. Yellow fever kills around 30,000 people annually.
