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.
