1. Refers to the practice in cinema or theatre of a non-Asian (typically white) actor/actress [playing the role] of an Asian character. More specifically, it refers to the use of makeup and prosthetics to give the actor a "more Asian" appearance; also, actors often affect a heavy accent and/or speak in poor English. Related to "blackface." 2. By extension, can mean the practice of taking on an ethnically stereotypical persona; [metaphorically], an Asian actor may be "donning yellowface" merely by portraying an Asian character in an [exaggerated] and/or demeaning fashion.
