AsianFishing is when a white person makes their eyes look slanted to copy Asian (mostly eastern) peoples' faces or make themself look Asian in general. It's offensive because it dumbs down Asian people to a single facial feature and reduces their ethnic features to an aesthetic after being made fun of for years.
