(as stereotyped
by Max Rohmer)

Correction: That should be Sax Rohmer.

The English mystery writer.

Yep, creator of the character 'Dr. Fu Manchu'.

Was he afraid of yellow people before or after?

I don't know if fear was a factor for his work. But he did create a
stereotype. It was even adopted in other fictional characters such as
Dr. No (James Bond), Ming from the Buck Rogers serials, and that bad
guy Lo Pan in "Big Trouble in Little China" (made back when Kim
Catrall was hot).

Dope might be an interesting read.

Kazmah the 'dream reader' and other memorable characters populate this tale
of terror, as sinister Eastern forces work to control the west through the
opium trade... Sax Rohmer, creator of Fu Manchu, returns to the Yellow
Menace theme that so characterized his work.
