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?

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.

A spinoff of Subtle Asian Traits that began as a smaller group with the aim of hosting civil and insightful discussions about life and identity, but then like most other growing internet forums, was overtaken by a shitshow of kids pretending to be adults. Aside from the rare minority of members who are still genuinely eager to talk and make connections, there are primarily 2 remaining groups:

1. Bored frequenters who try to keep the group alive with cringy repetitive icebreakers and memes. Truly profound shit like, "Oh everyday I herpderp because blahblahderp. What are some examples of derpaderp that you all herpaderpderp?" They could post this crap anywhere else on the internet and generate the same dumb "dialogue," but they need the comfort of keeping their spam within a predominantly Asian forum.

2. SJWs who need an outlet/safe space to flex their wokeness. These are the worst of the worst. They'll express the need for respecting Asians and women and etc, while simultaneously whining about other races and men and etc. They'll lecture everyone about decency and respect, but throw all manner of shade at anyone who has a different perspective (or maybe even fails to word a post up to PC standards). They'll preach about empowerment, but the second you start to question their victimhood or contradict their outrage, it's game over man.

this hand gesture is like the awkward turtle etc. but it is used when someone FAILS being subtle or you are trying to be subtle.
curve your hand at the wrist with your arm pointing up to resemble the long neck and head of a giraffe. then move it across your body saying "subtle giraffe"
andy: ive gotta go.. feed..my pigs..
ben: you dont have pigs
andy: ive gotta go.. ( silently walks out but trips over)
ben: *subtle giraffe*
