Book Description

Yellow Racism is a pioneering book that focuses on Asian Racism, Hong Kong, China, Singapore & Malaysia, Japan & Korea. It's a gutsy, original work, a must for all readers on racism. Though not denying the historical sweep of White Racism, it surprises us with information on countries such as Japan and China that developed full and lucrative slavery trading systems, long before Columbus set foot in American in 1492.Though this racism cruelly targets Blacks, African or African American blacks, due to the centuries old worship of paler skin, it also can show bias towards Whites, and even other Asians: Mainland Chinese vs. Hong Kong Chinese, Asian women who state boldly they prefer Whites to their own men, and sadly, Yellow Moms and Whites Dads who favour White, yet have half-Asian kids, called Hapas.These racist individuals are but a small minority of people in Asia, and I expect this book to be misquoted, as even critics of racism now risk being called racist, with a volatile social climate.In Hong Kong, we learn of Harmony, a young black woman subjected to the Nose Pinching Gesture, where a Chinese closes their nostrils when seated beside a Black or even a White. I myself have witnessed this 4 or 5 times. We also learn of the needless hospital death of a young Indian woman, Harinder Veriah, for no other reason than she had Dark Skin.In Malaysia, true crime websites link rampant crime waves to African students, with no statistics to back them up. Lewd comments about the sexuality of blacks stealing their women show the true fear. In Singapore and Malaysia both Indians and even PRC Chinese face housing bias. They just are not wanted, for the crime of being born another type of human being.Pure Blood theories of Japan and Korea feature, with similar fears of Foreign Men dating their women, and even signs posted openly on bars and stores and restaurants: No Foreigners Admitted.A refreshing chapter on Christian Guilt attempts to explain why Western democracies flagellate themselves for small amounts of racism, while a Niagara Falls of racism in Asia scarcely gathers notice, and is even apologized for by some Whites: phrases such as unintentional racism, innocent racism, and system racism - they let the individual off the hook for any responsibility.The chapter on half-Asian children is poignant. The adult children of Asian moms and White dads begin boldly to speak out all over the Internet as to having moms who clearly adored and preferred White Men to their own Asian Men. It's Yellow Racism mating up with White Racism, posing as the Globalist Couple.The author takes new leaps in thought, and suggests the Chinese Eunuch Myth, that Asian men are secondary, is the other side of the same racist coin of the Sexy Black Stud, that blacks are to be valued for their physicality. Sexiness in the world of Classic Racism as a primary trait is not helpful. A fully rounded human has a mind, a character, and a spiritual dimension: a soul, a spirit.(Jews in Nazi Germany seen as sexual predators, while in Canada, both the First Nations women and the French women of Quebec were viewed as sexier.)In Mainland China, a pretty young half-black television singer was savagely attacked for having a black American father. As with the Malay crime sites, the fear of the black man's sexuality fueled the flames. An illogical fear, as all humans are different. Asian women found in crime rings with African men are there as much for the money, not sexual romance.Yellow Racism has been forgiven by Whites because "It is not as violent as the American kind." Yet to deprive people of housing and jobs due to skin shade or tone - is this not a type of violence?Arielle Gabriel also writes of Christian Guilt, as a partial explanation as to why Western democracies are so self-critical, writing of her Sunday School lessons in Canada. She intends her book to open a discussion, hoping for a lively and friendly debate, on Yellow Racism.
