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.
