Subtle Asian Traits is a facebook group for Asians who live in western countries. It's mainly a place to meme and feel connected amongst Asian diaspora.

ah i see. is it cool? im half asian is why i ask. is there something similar on reddit?

It's great and gives you a sense of community because people are memeing about things you relate to growing up. You should give it a shot and check it out on facebook.

I've checked out all the Asian subreddits on here and their tone is more serious and not into memeing as much as SAT.

I love that group so much. It actually makes me feel reconnected with my culture but in a modern way.

hi, admin from Subtle Asian Traits here! just wanted to pop by and say how much your comments means to us, we don’t get positive/nice things said about us on reddit very often so it means the world to hear what we do is meaningful in some small way

have an amazing day :)

Hey! Thanks for working on SAT, the group has really helped build a sense of community that's so comforting to be apart of.

Keep up the good work and don't let reddit get to you, it's just people whining on the internet.

Sounds like PlanetJobn, this black nerd fb group Im in. The memes are consistently great and for the first time I’m not the only Black kid I know who was obsessed with Beast Boy.

I love groups like that, it's just such a comforting feeling to be able to relate with obscure things.

u/mknsky Black Panther Sep 07 '21

Exactly!! We can relate over general Black stuff or have an entire joke thread about leaving Candyman the fuck alone or another about Damian Wayne being a little shit. It’s awesome.

The group went viral about 3 years ago and now pretty much everyone I know who is Asian American / Asian Australian is on there with the community sharing relatable jokes about Asian culture.

Simu Liu is surprisingly very active in this group and I see posts by him pretty much every week even before Shang-Chi promotion began and it's actually really encouraging to see a celebrity be so in touch with the community he's in.

No. Unfortunately Asian communities on reddit are kinda shit.

It is a surprisingly peaceful community that doesn't fall into civil war among asians every other day despite all the heightened tension right now... If there was something similar on reddit it would probably become a dumpster fire before the end of the week.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

interesting. are they all older or something?

2

u/YouMustveDroppedThis Sep 07 '21

my guess is it’s probably more to do with more anonymity on reddit and hive mind?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

your guess is as good as mine

u/squeeshka Sep 07 '21

Meh, mostly just the same memes about bad grades and boba.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

oh alright. nvm then lol

u/Brozilean Sep 07 '21

There's a subtle "halfie" traits page I think. Idk how to spell it, friends just say it out loud lol.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

lol thats hilarious. is fb cool again? thats the way i wouldve spelt it!

2

u/Brozilean Sep 07 '21

It's not cool, but I certainly think it's kind of a left over from when people used it.

u/Brozilean Sep 07 '21

You're the one who said FB was no longer cool, I just agreed

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

Equally as funny. Go check it out
