When someone who is not Asian, tries to look like someone of Asian descent.
This usually occurs when someone takes the sexualized and fetishized aspects of Asian people and uses it as an "aesthetic" or for their own advantage. Asian fishing perpetuates stereotypes and completely disregards the oppression Asians have faced.
1st person: Hey, are you Asian?
2nd person: No, it's just makeup. But I'm obsessed with Asian culture.
2nd Person: Oh. I thought you were Asian. (their brain: what ...wtf... why they were just Asian fishing)
