Letícia Homma Watanabe, Maria Helena de Paula

Abstract
This research aims to reflect and understand how yellow racism occurred in Brazilian society and others, between 2020-2022, by analyzing texts found in two digital information platforms, Estadão newspaper and CartaCapital magazine, from which we selected eighty-two (82) publications and critically analyzed them. Besides scientifically contributing to the academic community, this research sought to be a space of representation for the Asian community. Moved by escrevivência, as experienced and theorized by Conceição Evaristo (2020), the experience between "living" and "writing" about racism in color anchored on the concepts about structural racism (ALMEIDA, 2019), recreational racism (MOREIRA, 2020), and intersectionality (AKOTIRENE, 2021) to establish the relationship that language(gem) and socio-historical relations have in the construction and deconstruction of yellow racism actions. The analyses guided us through the sea of the yellow racism, which has little visibility and occurs, above all, by factors of gender, race, and color.
