Why “Rebel Yellow?”
For over a century, “Yellow Peril” was a rallying cry of fear and xenophobia aimed at Asian people, depicting them as threats to Western society. Early political cartoons portrayed Asians as sinister, invasive forces, such as an octopus engulfing the world.
Rebel Yellow aims to rewrite that narrative. As a trailblazing platform guided by pride in our shared Asian heritage, we recognize that we can reclaim what was used to diminish us and turn it into a voice of empowerment.
