Hunter Biden referred to Asians as 'yellow' in a 2019 text conversation with his cousin.
Caroline Biden, President Joe Biden's niece, was texting Hunter discussing setting him up with her rich, model friends.
In the January 2019 conversation she asked her cousin: 'Do you want foreign or domestic. I can't give you f***ing Asian sorry. I'm not doing it.'
The president's son replied: 'Domesticated foreigner is fine. No yellow.'
The slur, uncovered from Hunter's abandoned laptop, is particularly distressing as it comes amid a surge in racist attacks against Asian-Americans.
President Biden signed into law last month legislation to expedite review of Covid-19-related hate crimes, and vowed to 'stop the hatred and the bias' against Asians.
This is the second revelation about Hunter's use of racial slurs in text conversations from his laptop.

DailyMail.com revealed last week that Hunter also used the n-word multiple times in conversation with his white lawyer.
In the days since the n-word texts surfaced, the majority of US media outlets failed to cover Hunter's use of the racial slur.
Left-leaning networks, including CNN and ABC and MSNBC, haven't dedicated notable air time to the story. The front pages of the New York Times and Washington Post have also not featured it.
The lack of coverage prompted outrage among conservatives with many accusing the liberal media of double standards.
The hashtag #RacistHunter started trending on social media as Twitter users slammed how the story is still largely being ignored.
During the January 2019 conversation with his cousin, Hunter, then age 49, said he wanted to date 24-year-olds because they were 'easy to impress'.
'24 is great. Seriously,' he wrote. 'Its incredibly easy to impress a 24 year old.'
Caroline suggested logging Hunter into Raya, an exclusive dating app that is known for pairing celebrities and the super-rich with models and young groupies.
She also suggested trying to set up her cousin with Lucy Dahl, famous children's author Roald Dahl's daughter who she described as 'super loaded' and 'non judgemental', as well as Dirty Sexy Money actress and porn director Bella Thorne.
Caroline, daughter of Joe Biden's brother Jim, was trying to help Hunter get over Hallie, his brother's widow and his lover, with whom his relationship had soured.
The 34-year-old has had several run-ins with the law. She was most recently arrested in 2019 for driving under the influence and without a license in a Philadelphia suburb.
Her rap sheet includes arrests for drug possession, credit card theft, fights with the NYPD and multiple DUIs – though she has never served time in prison.
Like Hunter, Caroline has reportedly struggled with addiction for years, and attended court-ordered rehab after one DUI.
Friends told the New York Post the 33-year-old went to rehab for alcohol and Adderall addiction while studying at Georgetown University.
In 2009 she was briefly detained by Amtrak police after a dispute over a train fare, and in 2013 she was accused of assaulting a New York Police Department officer who broke up a fight.
She was sent to an anger management rehab the following year.

In 2017 Caroline admitted spending $110,000 on a stolen credit card in New York, and in December last year she spent 20 days in rehab for a DUI after crashing her car into a tree in Pennsylvania.
The same month that Hunter texted the racist comment to her, he also texted his $845-per-hour lawyer and used the n-word multiple times.
The president's son joked in a January 2019 text to corporate attorney George Mesires about a 'big penis', and said to the lawyer: 'I only love you because you're black' and 'true dat n***a'.
In another text he wrote to the Chicago lawyer a month earlier said: 'how much money do I owe you. Becaause [sic] n***a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.'
Mesires replied: 'That made me snarf my coffee.'
Hunter added: 'That's what im saying ni…', cutting off the racial slur mid-word, then texted a picture to Mesires.
The picture was not downloaded on Hunter's laptop, from which the text exchange was recovered by DailyMail.com.
But Mesires replied: 'Why are you so tan?'
'I'm sorry for sexting you accidentally that was meant for another friend named Georgia,' Hunter replied.
In the January text exchange, the two men were talking about philosophy and bantering with each other.

Mesires: 'There are ideals of unconditional love that serve as proxies. I don't have many. You. God,'
Hunter: 'OMG n***a did you just a fictional character from the imagination of the collective frightened and my dead brothers unconditional love is what I should rely on and my kids aren't children George.'
Mesires: 'My parents love was conditioned.'
Hunter: 'My penis as of late has been un conditional.'
Mesires: 'That's why we are searching.'
Hunter: 'For my penis.'
Mesires: 'And we will always be searching.'
Hunter: 'Its big penis George. They always find it. And I only love you because you're black.'
Mesires: 'It's so annoying when you interject with frivolity.'
Hunter: 'True dat n***a. But I'm done my rant.'
Hunter's father has attempted to make race a central issue in both his presidential campaign – which came amid nationwide protests over racism and police brutality in 2020 – and in his administration.

In another exchange the following month, Hunter flippantly addressed Messires as 'n***a' again and cracked jokes saying 'I only love you because you're black' during a seemingly somber conversation
In a speech earlier this month on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in which a white mob killed an estimated 300 black people in Oklahoma, Joe Biden said he had come to 'fill the silence'.
'Some injustices are so heinous, so horrific, so grievous, they cannot be buried, no matter how hard people try,' he said. 'Only with truth can come healing.'
Biden pledged to help fight racism in policing following George Floyd's death, and has even backed studies exploring reparations for slavery and other injustices against African Americans.
The president picked the US's first black vice president, and was himself VP to the first black president.
In an interview on NBC's Today show in April, the president said he did not believe that the country was racist.
At the signing of the new bill last month to fast-track investigations of Covid-19 related hate crimes, Biden also vowed to crack down on hatred against Asian-Americans.
'My message to all of those who are hurting is we see you. The Congress said we see you. And we are committed to stop the hatred and the bias,' the president said.
Some Asian American groups criticized the bill, saying it fails to address the causes of anti-Asian biases.
