<< A friend who's a counselor at a college in Washington - and who is
Japanese - told me about a statement she'd just heard.  A male was
being discussed and she was told he had "Yellow fever."  My friend
initially thought it was meant literally, but apparently it was used
to describe a man who only liked Asian women.  Is this common?  Is it
used for women as well?

I've only heard "rice queen" = 'gay man who prefers Asian partners'. Both
strike me as rather uncomplimentary terms.
