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 “The 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 “Yellow Fever Time Machine.”
