A negative term directed to anyone of non-Chinese descent who displays overly obsessive behavior towards China and
anything Chinese. Most sinoboo'
s are uneducated about their obsession and attempt to impress other's with their knowledge on the Chinese world or it's media. Some
even go to the extent of claiming that they have Chinese blood or wear Chinese traditional clothing in the hopes that it'll make them "look the part." Sinoboo's also tend to misuse common Chinese words such as "ke ai" (cute) "gege" (
brother) and "shuai" (
cool) by using them too much or using them in
random sentences. Sinoboo's may also be referred to as Chinaboo's and not to be confused with Sinophile's- people who genuinely admire China and it's culture.
An
easy way to spot sinoboo's is to mention certain types of cmedia they like which are most likely cpop, cdrama, donghua, cnovel, or manhua. Although some are obsessed with Chinese gaming. Another step to identifying a sinoboo is noticing whether or not they have an odd fixation on the Chinese language or
anything Chinese (including people) and start getting Chinese usernames/names without the help of an actual Chinese person.
"My best friend just told me she prefer's Cpop over regular pop
music because she thinks Chinese sounds sexy... "
"
Damn she sounds like a total Sinoboo."
"She is. She
even refuses to date any non-Chinese men. She thinks they all look like Weibo stars"
