It's not totally gone, it just morphs over the years.
- dalke 11y agoWhat we have now is generic xenophobia. It's not "yellow peril" in any meaning of the historical sense. There are no pogroms, where Asians have a "Chinaman's chance" of avoiding lynching. There is no "Asiatic Barred Zone" from which people could not immigrate. American women who marry an Asian alien do not lose US citizenship. People from India and Japan can become US citizens.
