Confirmados 33 casos de #fiebreamarilla {#YellowFever} en cinco #países de #América https://boletinaldia.sld.cu/aldia/2024/08/02/confirmados-33-casos-de-fiebre-amarilla-en-cinco-paises-de-america/

Los registros ocurrieron en cinco países: #Bolivia (4 casos y 3 muertes), #Brasil (3 y 2, respectivamente), #Colombia (8 y 5), #Guyana (2 casos, sin fallecidos) y #Perú (16 y 7).

Originating from tales of #Japanese & #Vietnamese prostitutes seducing US soldiers during #WW2 & the #VietnamWar, it is the fantasy that #AsianWomen are quiet, submissive, yet sexually promiscuous. In short, a #misogynist’s wet dream.

The #WhiteSupremacists on the #FarRight have #YellowFever — an #AsianWoman fetish. It’s a confusing mix.

The #ModelMinorityMyth exists alongside another dangerous & limiting idea — one that is consistent with the alt-right’s #misogyny & core #AntiFeminist values. The main problem with white women, as many alt-right #AsianFetishists have noted, is they’ve become too #feminist.
