Sxb,
@Tukraq has a point because racist Europeans called South-East Asians the yellow and haven't you heard about the term the 'yellow peril'?
What's the origin of the phrase 'The Yellow Peril'?
The phrase 'The Yellow Peril' is no longer used in anger, so to speak. The threat of Oriental hordes swarming west and engulfing 'civilised' societies was a widely held fear in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.
...…….The yellow was clearly an allusion to skin colour, although not to the cowardice suggested by the American term
yellow bellied, which was coined later.
The fear in the West of the mysterious, and many believed unknowable, Orientals was as real at the turn of the 20th century as the fear of Muslims at the start of the 21st, and just as misguided.
The term Yellow Peril was coined following Japan's military defeat of China in 1895 and was generally applied to Japan. It has been reported as being coined by the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, in September 1895. If the Kaiser did coin the phrase then the date is incorrect as the term was used earlier that year by the Hungarian General Turr, in an assessment of Bismark. This was reported in several US newspaper at the time, including the Ohio paper
The Sandusky Register, June 1895:
"The 'yellow peril' is more threatening than ever. Japan has made in a few years as much progress as other nations have made in centuries."
