subtle asian traits

A congregation of Asians on Facebook obsessed with boba, asian food, and being Asian. Consists of redundant memes, yet you still end up spending 4 hours on the toilet scrolling through. If you're not in it, you're not a true Asian.

Asian friend: Hey, did you check out that post on subtle asian traits that I tagged you in?
You: You've tagged me in 200 of them in the past hour, which one?

subtle asian traits

If you know, you know. And if you don't, it's a secret facebook group where all Asians, but mostly Chinese speaking Asians, can share their experiences growing up outside of their ancestral homeland. Bubble tea, or boba, and pikachu memes are also heavily emphasized amongst other memes made to weed out the bananas and token suburbia Asians and establish a hierarchy of Asians. Some people invite their non-Asian friends due to a lack of being Asian enough and having no Asian friends to tag them. Half-Asians can either relate and be considered normal, or they can have problems relating to the struggle of growing up Asian and be considered a banana, or worse, not even Asian.

Sometimes also referred as sat or sats.

Asian hierarchy as seen in the group is as follows:
Chinese readers >= Romanized Chinese readers >= Mandarin speakers >= Canto speakers=> Koreans => Japanese => South East Asians = Others = Bananas

Asian: Are you a member of subtle asian traits?
Other Asian: No.
Asian: Oh, welll..... let me add you to sat. Your welcome.
