Subtle Asian Traits (SAT) began as a Facebook group founded in 2018 by nine high school students in Melbourne, Australia. It rapidly evolved into a global phenomenon, serving as a hub for the Asian diaspora to share humor centered around cultural nuances, tiger parenting, and the universal love for bubble tea. The memes typically highlight the specific balance of growing up between Western and Asian cultures, often featuring 'subtle' jokes that resonate with the shared experience of immigrants and their children. Today, SAT has millions of members and has spawned numerous offshoots, becoming a cornerstone of modern Asian digital identity and internet culture.
