Yellow Fever Time Machine 

When an Asian-American woman is approached by folks who assume that they were sex workers or girlfriends during the wars in The Philippines, Korea, Japan, and Korea they are placed in β€œThe Yellow Fever Time Machine.” This phenomenon also occurs when Asian women are assumed to be sex workers from Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
Again, I was asked if I was the prostitute a man fell in love with during his tour of duty in Korea (or Japan, or Vietnam). Just because of my eye shape, men put me in their β€œYellow Fever Time Machine.”
