[edit] An explanation

There may be some people that have an obsession with a certain ethnicity.
but
- maybe some people are tired of being stuck into one category, and want their children to be a little more immune to this racialism, you know what I mean?
I feel bad for people who are angry about this, but I think people need to look more objectively and with a bigger perspective, and look away from the past and towards the future, as difficult as that might be.Spettro9 05:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not in academic vocabulary

I think this article has great balance to it, but to assert that, "is not an accepted part of the vocabulary of any academic or scientific discipline," is false. I do not see any way to determine this definitively, and I would argue that a large volume of writing in sociology on the subject in essence makes it part of the vocabulary of the field in a connotation neutral sense, the same goes for psychology or other ethographic fields. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.135.96.222 (talk • contribs).

Right. That we haven't found it in any academic or scientific vocabulary does not mean that it is not a part of those vocabularies. Absense of proof is not proof. Also, nowhere in the article is there an attempt to assert that the term is part of any academic or scientific vocabulary. I am wary about making any non-minor edits though, as this article is very tightly balanced, and a lot of non-minor edits could upset a balance that took a long time to develop.

[edit] no images, an oversight?

I can't help but notice that there are no pictures of hot asian women in revealing clothes in this entry. I mean, if this were Encyclopedia Britannica, they'd have at least half a dozen images. I'm sure someone can find something on the net.... I'd add something, but you know, my images probably have copyright issues, and they also might not be of an acceptable standard.. So come on, add a picture or two of something that will REALLY define what "Asian fetish" means, visually. That's my request, and my name is four tildes. 70.119.104.175 03:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
