Default Open Question: Is the term 'asian fetish' insulting ?

I hear this phrase all the time. Whenever someone likes an Asian, it's always labeled as a "fetish."Fetish is liking something unusual, like it's unnatural. So are Asians so odd and unusual that it's not normal to be attracted by them? Are they not desirable? ... that it's considered some 'fetish' Are they so unattractive that they are considered a fetish, a word also used to describe an attraction toward FEET? The words itself kinda sounds condescending. Perhaps I'm wrong? LOL 'politically correct term is yellow fever' ..ya know, cause calling an Asian 'yellow' is politically correct. just teasing lol
