@lyhyolanda Hehdbfjbdjd hi it’s the area code for the San Gabriel Valley which is a region in SoCal with a super dense Asian population. Same goes for OC and Bay Area but they all have different vibes

This is like saying that its bad for african americans to be overly reverent of african culture, white people just snort a line and say ANYTHING

a lot of asian american media is overly reverent of asian culture which is also a form of orientalism. it's an exoticizing performance for the white gaze. you see this especially with food influencers tbh

@astafandrey @ericcouu he probably means asian american women who are aware of the original meaning of the term, asians from asia don’t understand the cultural context and mostly think of it as an aesthetic

Since SF doesn’t understand the term ABG, it stands for Asian Baby Girl or Baby Gangster.
It derives from Vietnamese and Chinese American youth that was connected to nightlife and gang culture.
Remnants of that still remain, however it is now archaic.
ABG’s are now characterized and connected to bold make up (like fake eyelashes), dyed hair (usually blonde), and EDM culture.
In my opinion, it characterizes a revolt against a societal perception on what Asian girls are supposed to be—academic, quiet, and reserved.
It has now been co-opted by SF/Tech Culture to literally describe ANY Asian Girl. I’m a SoCal native and it’s hilarious how much this term has been diluted with its entrance into the mainstream culture.
Also, an important thing to note, Asian women do NOT like being called an ABG as the characterization is generally negative.
However, to conclude, ts is weird and demeaning to Asian women.
