Back on the Boat. An antonym of FOB.
An Asian-American who rejects white supremacy and traditional narratives of assimilation that characterizes much of the United States (even in liberal cities) and instead chooses to connect with his or her cultural roots by going back on the boat, to discover and relate to family history or to learn more about the culture of their ancestors in his or her journey of self-discovery and the decolonization of the mind.
BOBs are hyper aware of yellow fever and other dating patterns within the Asian-American community, and are tired of both being fetishized and also fetishizing whiteness themselves.
Music: Mitski, Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som, Nightspace
Movies: Wong Kar Wai
Television: Terrace House
