* ''The Big Hit''

** TheAdvertisementServer: THAT'S JUST BECAUSE I'VE HAD A CASE OF YELLOW FEVER EVER SINCE I MET [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]] AND [[Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream THE CHINESE A.M.]]

Compare WhereDaWhiteWomenAt, which is about black guys and white girls hooking up, BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama which involves black girls and white guys, and AsianBabymama, where this type of relationship doesn't end well. If it's on the lower end of the sliding scale above, the gal in the relationship may use AsianSpeekeeEngrish. Like any interracial relationship, this can lead to MalignedMixedMarriage.

* A lady journalist working in Thailand [[FridgeBrilliance explained why men of White extraction, from Americans to East Europeans, are sought after]] by South Asian women [[DeconstructedTrope who are not]] [[TheOldestProfession from the prostitution industry]]: despite the common stereotype of the [[PigMan guy who does not care for himself, drinks and has rough sex]], most Whites even those from the uneducated classes have been raised from birth in the spirit of "being a gentleman or at least making people believe you are one", that is, treating the female partner with care and (the semblance of) good manners. While a lot of young South Asian men are by comparison rather careless, spiteful, gamblers, cheapskates - and those who are not are usually well-off and highly educated and seek girlfriends from the same social class as them, despising the poorer girls.

* Parodied in the {{Vocaloid}} song with an [[MindScrew extremely]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs trippy]] video, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKiPc-7uWtA "I Fell in Love With Geisha Girl"]]. It has the English vocaloid "Big Al" speaking in Japanese peppered with English, and Luka as the voice of the geisha.

* Subverted in ''Film/DieAnotherDay''. After Bond arrives in Hong Kong and has had a proper shave and some new clothes, it seems like he tries to seduce the Asian masseuse sent to his room. Then he takes her gun and reveals her as a Chinese operative. Played straight, however, with Creator/MichelleYeoh in ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies''.

* Jake and Lady Rainicorn from ''AdventureTime''; he's an anthropomorphic [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] dog whose first language is English, she's a flying unicorn/rainbow thing who speaks only Korean.

* In ''TheDayAfterTomorrow'', Tamlyn Tomita has a budding relationship with a white man that is devoid of overtly racial overtones.

* In the coming-of-age Spanish film ‘’La lengua de las mariposas’’, the child protagonist’s older brother Andres is fascinated with a picture of a Chinese girl in his school text book. Later, he actually meets a beautiful Chinese girl, but she is unfortunately already married to a much older Spanish man. The girl clearly prefers Andres, but she is powerless to escape.

** A sort of double inversion with Japanese diplomat Saburo Kurusu. He first came to United States as a consul in Chicago in 1914, where he met and married American Alice nee Little. Kurusu was deeply fascinated with the West, especially United States, while Alice was absolutely fascinated with Japan and the Orient. When they moved back to Japan, it was Alice who insisted that Kurusu act like a proper Japanese husband. Kurusu later had the unpleasant duty of being the deputy Japanese negotiator in the US for the final negotiations with the US just before Pearl Harbor. Incidentally, Alice acted as a typical Japanese housewife during World War II in Japan, which must have raised some Japanese eyebrows.

* Series three of ''LittleBritain'' featured the white English Dudley and his Thai mail order bride, Ting Tong Macadangdang. [[spoiler: Subverted when Ting Tong turns out to be [[DroppedABridgetOnHim "a ladyboy"]] and, it is implied, [[{{Fauxreigner}} not really Thai.]]]]

** This one is sort of arguable on the buddy's part- the buddy definitely went native, and he and his wife were shown to have an extremely loving relationship. A lot of American men did marry Japanese girls at the end of WWII, and there aren't many Asian men to be seen. Except the inversion, the Brando character breaks things off with his white fiancée to be with his Japanese love, which causes her to confess her feelings to the Japanese Kabuki actor she had fallen in love with. This is inverted again, because the Kabuki actor is obviously a white guy in make-up. White guys and Asian women are good, and white girls and Asian men are fine, as long as you can tell that he's really white.

* Jake and Lady Rainicorn from ''AdventureTime''; he's an anthropomorphic [[Voluntary Shapeshifting shapeshifting]] dog whose first language is English, she's a flying unicorn/rainbow thing who speaks only Korean.

** In one episode of ''MadTV'', an Asian man brings home his white girlfriend to meet his adoptive parents, who are white but [[{{Fauxreigner}} pretend]] to be [[{{Yellowface}} Asian]] to help him fit into the family. They proceed to [[HypocriticalHumor hypocritically berate their son]] for dating a white woman.

* Interestingly, this is common amongst people with [[{{UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome Asperger's Syndrome]]. Perhaps because ''[[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement they]]'' feel they are a minority group, and perhaps because the other ethnic group has similar values (e.g. common interest, strong work ethic - a common Asian stereotype) or are a BollywoodNerd ('''not''' in the pejorative sense) - some Asperger's individuals will [[TakeThatMe self-deprecate about their "geekness"]], it's fairly common, especially in the United Kingdom, where such things are common, as in areas like London, Kirklees, Manchester etc.

* Subverted in ''Film/DieAnotherDay''. After Bond arrives in Hong Kong and has had a proper shave and some new clothes, it seems like he tries to seduce the Asian masseuse sent to his room. Then he takes her gun and reveals her as a Chinese operative.

* Inverted with the Mandarin (major IronMan villain) and Shang-Chi (Master of Kung Fu and hero): both have Chinese fathers and white mothers.

* In America, this stereotype was very much inverted in the mid 1800's. In New York, Irish immigrant women outnumbered the men, and Chinese immigrants had a shortage of women. So Chinese men and Irish women often married. Many newspapers would mock this. There was also a scare of Chinese men preying on white girls.
