[quote=YELLOWPERIL,226017]One of the most enduring depictions of Asians in film has been the "yellow peril," an image that directly challenges the imperialist notion of the West. Yellow peril imagery has given rise to such notorious figures as Fu Manchu and Emperor Ming (of Flash Gordon fame), but it also includes many other figures. "A term first used mainly for Japanese and Chinese in the United States, it soon collapsed all of Asia into one yellow horde and became a catchword signifying the 'yellow menace' to Western Christian civilization."By compressing all Asian cultures into one single threat to American culture, Asians are demonized into cruel, power-mad, sexually driven monsters.
