'The Yellow Peril (also Yellow Terror and Yellow Spectre) is a racist color-metaphor that is integral to the xenophobic theory of colonialism: that the peoples of East Asia are a danger to the Western world. As a psycho-cultural perception of menace from the East, fear of the Yellow Peril was more racial than national, a fear derived, not from concern with a specific source of danger, from any one country or people, but from a vaguely ominous, existential fear of the vast, faceless, nameless horde of yellow people opposite the Western world. As a form of xenophobia, the Yellow Terror is the white race's fear of the rising tide of colored people from the Orient.[1]'
It's entirely possible that you have a valid point to make, and maybe it's even an interesting and important one, but maybe also take a second to consider if it might be motivated by racist tropes.
- Will_Do 9y agoWhat a strange comment. Why do you think this has anything to do with racism? Is anything claiming an Asian country is doing better than a white country Yellow Peril? If not, why is this an instance of it?
- seppin 9y ago> What a strange comment. Indeed. Textbook projection
- bitcuration 9y agoI don't see how this article can be related to that Wikipedia. it's overly reactive and exhibited a lack of self confidence from the people felt offended.
- eternalcode 9y agoI am offended by your comment. So, maybe you should also please take a second to consider if it might be motivated by racist tropes.
- lonewolfalpha 9y agoI'm offended. Calling out racism is racism.
