We also talked about our thoughts on Subtle Asian Traits and how Alex feels comfortable in the Subtle Asian Traits bubble in terms of his identity as Diaspora Asian.

For a period of time, people in our generation seemed to be using Facebook less often and instead our parents, aunties, and grandparents began taking over the world of Facebook. In this week's episode, the members of Among Us discuss how Facebook viral meme pages like Subtle Asian Traits and other Berkeley pages brought back our own members to Facebook.

Angela and Anny share how they created Subtle Asian Traits, what goes behind moderating the group, their current and future plans. They discuss the importance of representation and how although the Asian diaspora share similar values, there are still differences amongst the group. Subtle Asian Traits was created in September 2018 after seeing the gap in the internet for a place where all Asians could personally share their shared experiences in a light-hearted format without judgement. As a group of friends who met at a weekend language school we always had Asian related jokes about our unique shared experiences that we would share together. We saw there had been plenty of asian pages but they all had a feeling of disconnectedness, nothing like the intimacy a group page could offer. We felt that this page would provide us with a sense of confidence for once in our lives, safe from any judgement by others. We wanted a place where we could openly discuss our different upbringings and instead of burying it away, and finally do the opposite, to be proud of it.

At that moment, I realized that nothing ever felt right for me because there was no love. I was not in love with my education, my degrees, or my fancy jobs.

Meet Kerry Kang, Co-Founder of Subtle Asian Traits, the global movement on Facebook Groups with now more than 1.8 million members. Join us as learn about Kerry's childhood growing up in Melbourne, the story behind how Subtle Asian Traits got started, and about how he was invited to Facebook's HQ in Menlo Park to present and teach about Subtle Asian Traits to the media and Facebook executives!

This week, we're taking it back to one our favourite interviews. On this episode, we are joined by the founders of Subtle Asian Traits, Angela and Kerry Kang. In late 2018, the Kang siblings and their friends started a Facebook group during a weekend Chinese class. What was meant to be fun turned into a cultural phenomenon. Hundreds of thousands of Asian millennials joined the Facebook group in a matter of days. The group is now the biggest Asian community on Facebook but with more than 1.5 million members, SAT is also one of the biggest Facebook groups in the world. From juicy unposted memes to being invited to speak at Facebook, we talk about everything with co-founders of Subtle Asian Traits, Kerry and Angela. We discuss the humble beginnings of Subtle Asian Traits which was only founded a year ago by a group of friends that met at Chinese School. Was this the only useful that has come out of Chinese School? What started out as memes about collecting toothpicks and serviettes at restaurants became the biggest community on Facebook. This immense response was because this was the first time there really was something relatable for Asian-Australians and Asian-Americans.Subtle Asian Traits didn’t just become a safe place for bubble tea addicts to find one another, but it became a comfortable place to share life experiences. Who else could relate to the strict career expectations that migrant parents place on their children? These posts harvest great love and support by other members of the group, where strangers often comment encouragement and advice as they feel a sense of bond and connectedness with other members in the community.Despite the highs, Angela and Kerry share the difficulties the group has had. This includes thriving for more diverse representation of all Asian ethnicities within the groups, and, the struggles of monitoring and approving every single post to ensure quality memes.Subtle Asian Traits: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1343933772408499/Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lemonpodcastFollow on Instagram: http://instagram.com/lemonpodcastHosted by:Phillip Kuoch: https://www.instagram.com/sirkuoch/Tom Tan: https://www.instagram.com/tommayo/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

HAM 65 - Asian Hustle Network In this episode Seibo interviews Bryan Pham, co-founder behind the Asian Hustle Network alongside his partner Maggie Chui. Originally a software engineer in LA, Bryan was staggered about the high cost of living in the Bay area. Because of this, Bryan began partnering up with a friend where he was able to navigate the real estate environment, and over time eventually became active in the start-up community. This love of start-up inspired him to build a positive support network to connect and find others who were willing to support individuals who were turning their dreams into reality. With the boom of the meme page Subtle Asian Traits, wanting to combine his love of entrepreneurship, and support of his partner Maggie, Asian Hustle Network was born. Continuing on, Bryan talks about his growth and some of the challenges he faced; this included challenges such as breaking out of his more introverted personality and overcoming his aversion to public speaking. Seibo and Bryan then reflect on Asian culture and its irrational fear of exploring the unknown outside of the more reliable STEM fields, as well as the self limiting beliefs commonly placed upon by ourselves or by our Asians parents. The message about having the ability to look beyond traditional avenues, to stop boxing yourself in and to stop limiting your potential due self imposed beliefs is an important message everyone should take to heart, no matter what path we take. With the pair then advocating that we should begin to recognise that we may be underutilizing skill sets that can in fact be adapted to a variety of different areas and to also be comfortable when our paths may deviate from the traditional career paths we first set upon. Moving onto practical advice, Bryan talks about his own process on how to: tackle long-term goals, break these goals into more manageable segments, and recognise when you need to delegate or outsource your tasks. This can also lead to positive side effects such as: allowing people to work on areas they are personally passionate about, freeing you up to tackle other tasks, and allowing others the opportunity to shine. Moving onto entrepreneurial pursuits, Seibo and Bryan contemplate the rise and grind culture associated with entrepreneurship. In this segment, the two discuss the need to take time to relax and recharge, realising the act of grinding and being busy can in fact be a futile endeavour, and the benefits of blocking out time to allow yourself to rest to be able to work more effectively. Rounding off, Bryan cautions listeners to not force themselves to fit into preconceived moulds commonly seen in the rise and grind culture and work with what feels natural to you. As Seibo touts the positive benefits and continued positive momentum since joining the Asian Hustle Network, Bryan talks about how he was initially spurred into action by talking to a Jewish friend, where Bryan wanted to mirror the positive, supportive communities that he commonly saw in the Jewish community, leading him to try and develop a more united network regardless of what Asian ethnicity you are. As Bryan and Seibo continue to talk about the positive impacts of the Asian Hustle Network, Bryan reiterates that all members have something to bring to the table regardless of what stage they are at; Asian Hustle Network is not just about the fantastic achievements other members have (deservedly) achieved, and in actuality the stories Bryan and Seibo found that were the most inspirational were from members who came out on top despite the odds or expressed vulnerability, but had the courage to talk about challenges or struggles they were facing. Branching off the topic about overcoming challenges, Bryan expresses his own vulnerability regarding his journey to develop his EQ, realising the power of developing high EQ, and how developing these skills helped him bring together quality people - By getting out and doing one thing that made him uncomfortable, but having the fortitude to power through the short lived awkwardness, Bryan demonstrates firsthand how these "talents" can be worked on over time. As the podcast comes to its end, Seibo then closes out the podcast by asking Brian about the future direction of Asian Hustle Network, where Bryan envisions other Asians will be in the future, and the most surprising thing that came out of creating Asian Hustle Network. For more information, Asian Hustle Network can be found on Facebook and Patreon, where the Patreon fund is used to fund events all around the world.

On today’s episode we are joined by the founders of Subtle Asian Traits, Angela and Kerry Kang. In late 2018, the Kang siblings and their friends started a Facebook group during a weekend Chinese class. What was meant to be fun turned into a cultural phenomenon. Hundreds of thousands of Asian millennials joined the Facebook group in a matter of days. The group is now the biggest Asian community on Facebook but with more than 1.5 million members, SAT is also one of the biggest Facebook groups in the world. From juicy unposted memes to being invited to speak at Facebook, we talk about everything with co-founders of Subtle Asian Traits, Kerry and Angela. We discuss the humble beginnings of Subtle Asian Traits which was only founded a year ago by a group of friends that met at Chinese School. Was this the only useful that has come out of Chinese School? What started out as memes about collecting toothpicks and serviettes at restaurants became the biggest community on Facebook. This immense response was because this was the first time there really was something relatable for Asian-Australians and Asian-Americans.Subtle Asian Traits didn’t just become a safe place for bubble tea addicts to find one another, but it became a comfortable place to share life experiences. Who else could relate to the strict career expectations that migrant parents place on their children? These posts harvest great love and support by other members of the group, where strangers often comment encouragement and advice as they feel a sense of bond and connectedness with other members in the community.Despite the highs, Angela and Kerry share the difficulties the group has had. This includes thriving for more diverse representation of all Asian ethnicities within the groups, and, the struggles of monitoring and approving every single post to ensure quality memes.Subtle Asian Traits: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1343933772408499/Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lemonpodcastFollow on Instagram: http://instagram.com/lemonpodcastHosted by:Phillip Kuoch: https://www.instagram.com/sirkuoch/Tom Tan: https://www.instagram.com/tommayo/TRANSCRIBED AUDIO****PLEASE NOTE that this was automatically transcribed and it may not be accurate.

Welcome to Tokin' Asians, an interview-based, 420-friendly podcast about mental health and issues in Asian-American/Canadian and Asian diaspora communities. I’m your host, Jeanine, and i’ll be talking issues that are rarely discussed, or hard to talk about. With the growing disparity among first and second generation immigrants and their families, we have the difficult task of trying to find a balance between duty and self-expression. With emerging platforms like Subtle Asian Traits, many of us are finally expressing our feelings, sometimes for the first time. Many of us realize the difficulty we have relating to each other. Mental health is a growing issue, and is not addressed in most Asian cultures, many young people and adults suffer in silence, or feel that they are alone. This podcast is my attempt to reach out so it’s not quite so scary to talk about the hard stuff. This podcast is NOT meant to give advice or to substitute for professional help, but rather to give Asian people and young people a voice, and to let them know they aren’t alone. To introduce myself, I’m a second-generation Vietnamese immigrant living in Vancouver, BC. I have general anxiety disorder, lupus, and depression. I use cannabis to mitigate a lot of my symptoms and I’m going to be very candid in talking about thoughts, feelings and issues including: abuse trauma depression anxiety suicide sexual abuse child abuse breakdowns culture clashes medication addiction grief Due to the nature of these topics, and the fact that I and my guests swear a lot, listener discretion is advised. This podcast is not intended for children. If you are currently in distress, or feeling actively suicidal, please call the national suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255. But you aren’t alone. We’re here and we can talk about it. Let's blaze!

Episode Notes [music]Sophia Lo: Hi everyone, welcome to…Everyone: Second GenerAsian!Sophia: I’m Sophia.Hannah Julie Yoon: I’m Hannah.David Deloso: and I’m David.Hannah: And today’s special guest, we have our friend Gabby!Gabby Rabon: Hi!Hannah: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?Gabby: Sure, so I am a quarter Japanese and otherwise very very White. I’m a freshman here studying Journalism and Spanish. Hannah: How do you know us?Gabby: We all live together in CRC.Hannah: Yes we do!Gabby: It's great.David: So when you were growing up, were people aware that you were part Asian?Gabby: I mean, sort of. I look very White so it's not something people would have guessed right away, but it was always one of those “fun fact” things for when we had culture day in school, you know, the teachers would always ask my mom to bring in our Japanese dolls and make sushi or something, so it was something that people were aware of once they knew me, and then it became sort of a weird thing in that most of my school was, or almost a 100 percent of my school was very White growing up so when I left, I was told I couldn't leave because I was the diversity.Hannah: Wow, diversity matters.[laughs]David: So did people treat you differently, as the sort of diversity?Hannah: As the token Asian kid?Gabby: Right right, which is funny because I'm really not, but...[laughs]Gabby : Definitely because once they knew they would either make jokes about it. I got the eye thing a lot, or I got called names which I am not going to say on the air because I am a White person. Also, there would be sometimes where people just wouldn't believe me, which is fine, it's valid, but also, but also I don't know what to tell them. I guess I don't really care what they think or whether they believe it.Sophia: So how do you relate to your Japanese culture?Gabby: Ooh, um, that's a tough one.Hannah: Well, , how much, I guess how Japanese was your life growing up?Gabby: Yeah well, so when my grandmother came to the United States, she made a very very determined effort to force all of her kids to assimilate so that they would be accepted because she faced so much discrimination. So even my mother who is half Japanese does not have as strong of a relationship to her culture as a lot of the half Asian people that I know nowadays for that reason. So I definitely didn’t have that much exposure to it growing up we would have mochi on the new year, we would eat pocky or whatever and we would go visit my grandmother. She lived in Ohio, so we didn't get to see her that often. We were several hours apart. But when we did see her, I was aware and I had a book of Japanese fairy tales that I would read. So, I had some relation to it growing up but I sort of kind of tried to ignore it because it was a reason I got made fun of, and I didn't really feel comfortable with it because I don't look Asian, so now I'm trying to reach out and accept it more.David: So what forms has that taken? ow have you tried to reconnect?Gabby: I think a lot of it has to do with processing and learning more about my grandmother's history. Part of the reason that I want to dive more into my Asian background is because of all the things she went through and I don't want that to just die out because she's no longer alive, because she went through a lot and I feel her experience is important and it’s incredibly unique but it's also a part of the larger story of immigration to the United States and feeling forced to assimilate to White American culture. So really just diving into her story and learning more about it, I've also, Subtle Asian Traits has been really helpful, going to dim sum or whatever, having a good time, it's been fun.Sophia: So you seem to have a lot of your grandma in mind when you're thinking about your Asian identity, could you tell us a little bit about her?Gabby: Sure! So my grandmother's name was Katsuko Ujihara and she lived in Japan, she was born in Japan, she lived there until she was around 30. She grew up during World War II, so there was an air raid near her school and a piece of shrapnel decapitated her best friend and lodged in her arm, so that's the beginning of her struggle. And then her family had her in an arranged marriage but right before she got married she eloped with an American GI, my grandfather, because she wanted to get out of this arranged marriage. And she kind of expected the whole American Dream, you know, white picket fence, suburban living, whatever, but what she ended up getting was an abusive husband, five children, and a single wide trailer. And then her husband ended up leaving her, she didn't really speak English very well, she couldn't drive, she worked for less than minimum wage, which was at that time two dollars and 33 cents an hour. So, she had a really rough time. She was heavily discriminated against not only for not being able to speak English very well and for her appearance but also because this was right around the time of the Korean War. So everyone hated Asian people!David: So how do you feel the White side of your family has interacted with the Asian side? Do they click together?Gabby: Yeah, I mean, my family on my mom's side is very melded together. We're all just kind of a hot mess. We have a lot of fun, we're all very loud, very in your face. It's less about, the difference between who's Asian and who's not — that doesn't really come into it. It's just sort of a fun thing we all laugh about my grandmother because she was very much a character at the end of her life. So we like to talk about those memories, but it's mostly just about coming together as a family in a fun group of people.Hannah: Just curious, do you have any more family members on the Japanese side of your family?Gabby: Not that I'm aware of. From what I understand, most of my grandmother's relatives have passed away. But I am not super familiar with that side of our family, just because when my grandmother broke off the arranged marriage and eloped with my grandfather she was disowned from the family. So I don't know any of them.Sophia: Is there anything else you'd like to share?Gabby: I'm really proud of my heritage and specifically my grandmother, just as much for being a strong woman and surviving everything that she did as for anything else. I'm just really proud of that and that's kind of what I associate with this part of my identity.David: Um, so I guess what are some of the struggles that you've encountered just trying to find and build your identity here as someone who is mixed race?Gabby: I think a lot of it has been White guilt, quite honestly. Because I feel bad claiming this part of my heritage a lot of the time when I don't experience the discrimination that comes with it because I don't look Asian. And so there's like this big conflict in me where my grandmother sacrificed everything so that we could have this better life and she would want us to accept who we are and to be a part of everything, but she also had this part where she experienced so much discrimination that she felt she had to assimilate and that her family had to. So kind of this conflict between should I or should I not even be thinking about this.David: Do you think your mom's parenting was influenced significantly by her being half-Asian?Gabby: Oh I definitely think so.Hannah: And the fact that she had an Asian mother?Gabby: Yeah, yeah, my mom is like, I like to joke that she's sort of a tiger mom even though she doesn't look it, just because she was always very strict. Yeah, I think she was definitely influenced by the way she was raised.Hannah: Well I feel largely whether you feel the need to assimilate to White America or not just depends on where you live in America. Specifically, because I was born in White America Pennsylvania. And then I lived there for six years, the first six or seven years of my life before moving to “mini-Asia,” a.k.a. the Bay Area. "Mini-China;" we literally just call it "mini-China" because all the signs are in Chinese, the school is 60% Asian, so it's basically Asia. You feel, I mean of course , as a kid you are influenced by the people you're surrounded by. So growing up, when I was in pre-school I was the only Asian kid in my pre-school. And it felt no matter what I did, I never fully fit in. When I came to mini-Asia where supposedly I could fit in because 60% of the school looked like me, I still didn't feel Asian enough cause at that point I wasn't super good with Korean. Part of the reason I am at the level I am today is because of Asian guilt. I had to relearn Korean cause I felt like "Wow, all these other kids are super fluent with Chinese, I have to be as good as they are." And then, part of the reason why I was in advanced math was because "Oh shit! Everyone else is in advanced math, I have to be in advanced math." Part of the reason why I developed decent drawing skills is because "Wow, everyone else is decent at drawing. I have to be decent at drawing too." So it largely depends on where you grow up because I do know back where I went to high school,a.k.a. Bay Area, there was a clear racial divide between all the White kids and the Asian kids who were friends. And there was, not a total sense of shame, but it did look a little strange, we did look strangely on the Asian people who liked to hang out with the White people and who didn't necessarily connect with their Asian side, because of how Asian-dominant the culture is in the Bay Area.Sophia: I mean, I think it's important that if you are fully Asian, if you're half Asian, if you're a quarter Asian, you can identify as Asian. It doesn't mean that you need to be completely immersed in the language or the culture because everyone who is Asian does have some pieces of them that are rooted in culture, language, or just like kind of how they were raised. So I've always felt not as Asian because in comparison, you know, my friends are better at the language, the culture and all that stuff. And I think it's kind of taken me to come here and be a little separated from that, to figure out, like, yeah there are actually parts of me I do embrace and there are parts of me that aren't as Asian, maybe more rooted in American culture, and that's ok!Hannah: Yeah, I know. Coming here after joining KASA, which is the Korean American Student Association, there's a weird sense where I do feel at home, cause I am with a bunch of people who have gone through similar experiences as me, you know, growing up Korean American. But it's also a weird sense of not feeling Korean enough because there are a lot of people there who are from Korea and who speak the language better, and then, sometimes some cultural jokes I just don't understand sometimes. But honestly, be who you wanna be. As long as you're not hurting anyone, it's like, I mean why not. f you're a little more American, if you're a little more Asian. If you like to drink hot water, if you like to drink cold water, just do what you want.David: Alright, so, I think we're gonna wrap it up.Hannah: Today's snack of the week is Sticko.David: So if you're familiar with Pirouettes, the American snack, the long wafers that are rolled up with some cream in them, Sticko is like the Filipino version of that. And they have some interesting flavors such as ube, which is a purple yam that is very popular in the Philippines.Hannah: Ube is so good.David: And it's just a very, delicious snack, you know, not too filling so you can eat a bunch of them. I love Sticko so much, highly recommend that you try it.Sophia: Please come to CRC and take the Sticko so David can stop saying "Sticko Mode."David: I'm DavidHannah: I'm HannahSophia: and I'm SophiaHannah: and we're signing out!David: Our theme music was composed by Tenny Tsang, this is NBN Audio.[music]This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

If data-driven matchmaking platforms like Tinder have you down, consider an "old school" online dating method where your friends auction you off in a Facebook group with 300,000 singles who are ready to meme...I mean, mingle. That's how it goes down in "Subtle Asian Dating," a thriving Facebook community where Asian Americans can comfortably dish about their cultural identity and perhaps even meet "the one" with enough likes and comments. It grew out of a predecessor Facebook group called "Subtle Asian Traits," where members of the Asian American community would not so subtly thrust their friends onto the dating meat market in a defiantly anti-Tinder way. Alli and Jen talk with Hella Chen who created this romance ecosystem. Chen shares the meme-worthy stories that have sprung from it.
