One of the oldest forms of racism and racist practices in the colonial sense is the discrimination of Eastern Asian people in Europe and North America.

Stereotypes of East Asians in the United States are ethnic stereotypes found in American society about first-generation immigrants, and American-born citizens whose family members immigrated to the United States, from East Asian (China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Macau, Mongolia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong), and as well as members of the Chinese diaspora who hail from Southeast Asian countries such as Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Stereotypes of East Asians, like other ethnic and racial stereotypes, are often erroneously and negatively portrayed in American mainstream media, in cinema, in music, on television, in literature, on the internet, as well as in other forms of creative expression in American culture and society.

Largely and collectively, these stereotypes have been internalized by society and in daily interactions, current events, and government legislation, their repercussions for Americans or immigrants of East Asian ancestry are mainly negative. Media portrayals of East Asians often reflect an Americentric perception rather than realistic and authentic depictions of true cultures, customs and behaviors. East Asian Americans have experienced discrimination and have been victims of bullying and hate crimes related to their ethnic stereotypes, as it has been used to reinforce xenophobic sentiments. Notable fictional stereotypes include Fu Manchu and Charlie Chan, which respectively represents a threatening, mysterious Asian character as well as an apologetic, submissive, "good" East Asian character.

East Asian American men are often stereotyped as physically unattractive and lacking social skills. This contrasts with the common view of Asian women as highly desirable relative to American women, which has been influenced by their portrayals as hyper-feminine "Lotus Blossom Babies", "China dolls", "Geisha girls", and war brides. Asian women perceived as "strong" may be associated with the Dragon Lady stereotype, while Asian mothers may also be stereotyped as tiger moms. East Asian Americans may be depicted as an artificially standardized model minority, a phrase often stereotypically associated with socioeconomic success in American society.

A young woman of Chinese descent and a colleague of mine recently spoke about her experiences with anti-Asian racism in the Netherlands. Verbal aggression, being stereotyped and having anti-Chinese slurs and swear words thrown at her. I was quit shocked what she has to endure in her daily life. She is a very nice and hard working colleague.

Anti-Chinese sentiment is a fear or dislike of Chinese people or Chinese culture, also referred to as Sinophobia. It often targets Chinese minorities living outside of China and involves immigration, development of national identity in neighbouring countries, political ideologies, disparity of wealth, the past tributary system of Imperial China, majority-minority relations, imperial legacies, and racism.

A variety of popular culture clichés and negative stereotypes about Chinese people have existed since the twentieth century, notably in the Western world, and are often conflated with other Asian ethnic groups, known as the Yellow Peril. Some individuals may harbor prejudice or hatred against Chinese people due to history, racism, modern politics, cultural differences, propaganda, or ingrained stereotypes. Its opposite is Sinophilia.

Anti-Japanese sentiment (also called Japanophobia, Nipponophobia and anti-Japanism) involves the hatred or fear of anything which is Japanese, be it its culture or its people. Its opposite is Japanophilia.

Anti-Korean sentiment or Koryophobia describes negative feelings towards Korean people, Korean culture, or the countries of North Korea or South Korea. It can even refer to feelings between Korean groups, especially between North and South Korea, or between Koreans on the Korean peninsula and the Korean diaspora.

Anti-Korean sentiment has varied by location and time. Major historical events that impacted it include the Japanese occupation of Korea, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. In recent years, sentiment has largely been impacted by politics, territorial disputes, disputes over claims of historical revisionism, economic competition, and culture.

Anti-Korean sentiment is particularly prevalent in China, Japan, the United States, and between both Koreas. The Korean Wave has also sparked pushback in some countries. In other countries, Koreans have been the target of either specific racism or racism towards Asians in general. Various slurs for Koreans also exist, including slurs used by Koreans towards other Koreans.
