Roots of #fetishization is traced to #colonizers treating #BIPOC as curiosities. #Black bodies were #eroticized by #Europeans & when they invaded different #African countries, fascination & fetishization of #AfricanWomen was frequent.

Fetishization of East /Southeast #AsianWomen is known as #YellowFever. Since 18th & 19th century, #imperialism & #orientalism grew. #WesternPowers became intrigued with the East & #Americans became obsessed with #Chinoiserie
