an diaspora asian (usually asian american or canadian, but other nationalities can fall under this trope too) who pretends to be "#woke" for clout but in reality, has no idea what they're talking about. they often like to compare themselves to
white people / act white (see:
definition of banana), make shoddily researched infographics on instagram, and make drinking boba tea / hating their parents their whole
personality. boba asians are usually
upper middle class brats and rich as hell, fail reading comprehension at school despite their parents paying 50 million for their kumon classes, and probably defend themselves saying the n-word and agreeing with their racist friends. the only thing boba asians listen to is joji, rich brian, and 88rising, because they want to be "hood" like the perception of black and brown people they have (on the side, their relatives are racist to actual brown/black people; boba asians might defend this too). not all diaspora asians are boba asians, however: the main enemy of boba asians are asian tankies/communists, who, to be honest, are more based than boba asians, but are very flawed too as they continuously deny things like the uighur genocide.
ugh, there's this boba asian on my tl who keeps on
defending the kuomintang and
jeremy lin wearing dreads!
the fights boba asians constantly pick on
social media with each other are so stupid.
awkwafina is a prime example of a boba asian. her songs aren't even that good.
