ABC Guy & Wasian Girl Discuss Yellow Fever & White Worshipping

How do Asian men in the West respond to statistics suggesting they're "less desirable" when online dating? Being biracial (Chinese and white) how should I navigate the phenomenon of “yellow fever”?

In this episode I chat to Brian, an American Chinese guy, about interracial dating and how our views have shifted since moving to Shanghai. We discuss Wong Fu Productions’ 2006 Yellow Fever video, and Brian shares how he and ABC friends have navigated dating in the US and China.
