As an Asian guy, I've noticed this for a long time.
Nope. Yellow fever is in relation to Asian fetishes. There is a connection to colonialism and exoticism in which Asians are portrayed negatively. Asian women are seen as submissive, docile, delicate, ect. while Asian guys are typically seen as "less male" than those of other races.
People can and do have preferences for body shape, hair color, facial features ect. and there is nothing wrong with this. What's wrong is when people want to be in relationships with others because they like the concept of a stereotype, and not the personality of a specific person.
You just mentioned that your mother is more into personality than appearances so there isn't exactly a "white" fever going on. She might prefer white guys looks but she takes into account actually personality above a stereotype.
Also there isn't a narrative or negative power dynamic when it comes to dating white guys. See this book if you really want to learn more about Asian exotic stereotypes that people of Asian descent have to deal with everyday. http://www.amazon.com/Asian-Mystique-Dragon-Ladies-Oriental/dp/1586482149
