I can't believe subtle asian traits even got to Wong Fu...

next episode: subtle asian dating

I love that a group that started in my home country, with mostly Asian-Australians, has blown up to the point of reaching huge Asian-American KZfaqrs and even Asians in Asia as well. It's cool seeing that we can all relate to these tiny things despite being so far away, and also cool seeing things that only one certain group of people can relate to and learning about their lives as well.

Subtle Asian Traits was started by year 12 students from Melbourne Australia whooh 👊🏼🙌🏻

Wheres the recognition that this group started in Melbourne Australia?

Petition for Wongfu to sell off their single team members on Subtle Asian Dating and make a video about it

Fun fact this group was created initially in Australia and spread globally.

Australians we made it

This page actually came from subtle private schools traits page, which was made in Australia!!! The subtle Asian trait page is also an Australian page, that seemed to blow up

Wong Fu team members in SAT: *exists* Me: *surprised Pikachu*

Subtle Asian Traits is the reason why my productivity levels have drastically decreased

Let’s be honest. It’s the Australian specific content in it that are the best

Subtle Asian Traits started in Australia !

I remember the exact date i was added by my brother, it was on the 16th of september, there was around 8,500 members and I had around 10 mutual friends on the group (I am from Sydney). The memes were hilarious and so relatable especially because they were Asian-Australian specific, it really felt like a close-knit community who could understand all the unspoken similarities we all shared within the country. I added the one friend I was with (there was a feeling of exclusivity and pride being an earlier member), and the most liked post (I think it was the egg and tomato meme) had around 600 likes. Less than a couple days later, I had around 60 mutuals on the page and the member amount had jumped to almost 100k. Memes from the page filled my newsfeed so much I thought I was scrolling through the group all the time, and my notifications were blowing up from all the tags, it was great. Come november, the group was gradually becoming more globalised, first with Canadians to finally americans and other global citizens. Original memes were becoming recycled and words like lg's and bubble tea were changing to ABG's and Boba. Still to this day, I quite enjoy the memes, although they are becoming quite americanised, its interesting to see how I can relate to people living across the world from me. I would confidently say around 90% of Australian Asians living in metropolitan cities have been added to the page (everyoneee knows about the page here), but its cool seeing a lot Americans in these comments asking to be added and acting the same to how I was when I had just been added.

Just a friendly reminder that Jenn looks beautiful.

i love the ending how you jenn + phil mentioned how in the process of being prideful, we shouldn’t bring others down as well. at the end of the way, we should be celebrating all - while sharing what our own cultural norms have to offer! ♡

Does anyone notice they're using reuseable/recycleable straws??? we love an environment conscious asians

oh no, CHonny's the "ONE OTHER"

My whole fb feed is just S.A.T LOL

POST THE CALENDAR IN SUBTLE ASIAN TRAITS NOWWWWWWWW

people in subtle asian traits are already posting about how wong fu knows about the group

Y’all need to have anna Akana and David so on lunch break

YES I LOVE WONG FU!

“S.A.T.s” OH MY FREAKING- I can’t. It actually abbreviates to SAT

We also now have 2 new groups: Asian Creative Network and Subtle Asian Creates. It’s been so incredible digitally meeting creative people around the world. Seeing asian filmmakers, directors, photographers, screenwriters etc, (specific to the film industry) has been amazing to see us represent in our industry. We are inspired by you guys Wong Fu Prod! It’s been so awesome being apart of a supportive culture and we all aspire to break ceilings ☺️

Some of my friends are the admin's of the page and I was one of the first's to be invited to the group. In the initial week of it's launch no one in the group would have imagined that it'd become the scale that it is now. From what was intended as uniquely Melbourne Australian Asian, quickly becoming uniquely whole of Australian Asian; it was reliable in a sense of being 'the' Facebook page for the Australian Asian community. Now picking up ground globally, I think it's great that the page is more diverse in relatable posts/memes and we're able to get an insight on other Asian communities. With it quickly gaining recognition in articles, even being acknowledged by KZfaqrs such as Wong Fu themselves, I'm excited to see where the future of this page lies. I just hope the admins are able to do more with the page rather than it just being a 24/7 asian meme content.

Finally a lunch break with both Phil and Wes. I missed you guys together.

Could you at least give a little credit to Australians who made this page 😉🌟

Bro I love how they're so many atla memes on sat its AMAZING. Brings back childhood memories.

This was a hilarious video and makes me want to be in the Facebook group!

Can you guys touch on topics that other parts of Asia can relate to as well? Like South Asia😀? I love Wong Fu and watch you guys regularly!☺️☺️

we have a plasticbags plasticbag holder. i think the thing with asians perhaps moreso asians born or raised out of asia, we are part of two worlds but unlike other groups who dont like to joke or poke fun of themselves, asian americans,etc can laugh at ourselves, some silliness we do, while also being proud at the same time. i love bbt so kuch, when uber started to deliver it..well..now i dont even have to move to get my addiction lol.

Lol i've been rewatching all the old school wong fu content b/c now they're actually relateable compared to when i first watched it when i was in high school

wong fu really was subtle asian traits before subtle asian traits lmao!!! my middle school self was obsessed w strangers again, idk how i grasped the concept so firmly at 12 but maybe that's why i'm so emotional now at 19

Jen's time to shine. I'm so happy for her. ❣️

TY for bringing up being uplifting at the end

Damn, never saw the day wongfu would actually discuss subtle asian traits, this is too good!

I literally got added to the group a couple days ago and already loving it.

OMG if Wong Fu collaborates with Subtle Asian Traits I will LOSE ITTTTTT

A good discussion! 😄 Gonna look out for WF on SATs now haha

I think that the reason for the success is that everyone has a chance to submit content and make their own jokes, everyone can have a moment of fame. on traditional pages, its a small group of people posting all the memes, but with the groups, everyone can be involved not to mention having 800k+ ppl able to post makes the group virtually 24/7, its taken over my entire feed lol (no complaints tho, made facebook wayy better and I spend so much time on there now compared to before the group)

haven't watched lunch break in like 2 years but came back cuz i saw the title

Thanks wes for explaining it so well.

wongfu is literally the yt documentary of sat over 10years

stopped using fb long ago don't plan on coming back but cool to know this exists lol

I love subtle asian traits omg and dying at the Vietnamese memes 😂😂 proud to be asian!!!!

so cute can't believe it blew up to this extent

You guys should (also) make this into a podcast!

AHHAHAHhahha omg this is amazing. i'm so happy this is a thing.

YES we need a trailer

I wish I were there so I can be related to all the Viet memes with you Jenn ❤️

I got added to Subtle Asian Traits by my co-worker over Thanksgiving break and now it has literally taken over my feed toooo funny. kind of wanna make subtle mixed traits for all of us mixed babies out there. heehe

When all Asians around the world unite, what's not to love about that ❤️

11:20 Phil's comment was spot on 🙌

5:31 SM Mall In the Philippines, the guy who put the fire out take his initiative to put the fire outtake he took his sleeper to kill the fire LOL!!!!!

Subtle asian traits lowkey bonded my older sis and I, and im happy cuz of it soo thx subtle asian traits for the memes

In Between was also mentioned recently on Subtle Halfie Traits.

Haven't heard of this. Some of these are pretty funny 😂.

WE MADE IT TO WONG FU

OMG I LOVE 7 LEAVES!!!! Vietnamese ice coffee is my favorite hahhahaha

Now that you told us about it you’re obligated to invite all your subscribers to the group 😂

Wow, I'm not even asian and there's a possibility I got added before Wong Fu 😂😂😂

when subtle asian traits made it to wong fu ... *inserts shocked pikachu picture*

I love SATs. Literally takes over my feed 😂

When Wes referred to mychonny as "the other" T^T

When Wes said “one other” for chonny.... my heart :(

Omg I remember when I was first invited to the group, I think there was about 1000+ people and I thought it would only gain as much popularity as my uni's confessions page... but got damn it blew up 😂As the Americans came into the group it made me realise some similarities and differences between Aussie-Asians and American-Asians. I used to be stuck on that page for hours until my battery ran out and constantly tagging and being tagged HAHAHA I'll be honest tho, I don't scroll through it as much anymore because I find it less relatable now as there are too many American-Asian specific posts... but its still interesting to me to learn about the subtle differences in culture such what you call an "ABG", we would refer to as LG and how we literally refer to "boba" as milk tea or bubble tea. And those polls/posts about which suburb was the "best"; omg I wanna see an international version of that, Sydney's most popular Asian suburbs vs California's All in all I'm glad that this group is bringing every Asian person who grew up in a western country together, and we can all joke around about our struggles and celebrate our many Asian cultures ❤️

Nice eco friendly straws, forks, and containers.

i'm mixed Filipino and took Mandarin classes so I can understand a lot of the memes which is nice

YESSSS I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THISSSSSSS

I laugh everytime I rewind to Taylor's subtle "Good job. I think." LMBO They put this secret page on blast lol they are going to meme you to death now lol

Wes's hair in this lunch break reminded me of chandler bing's hair when he was in college 😂😂😂

didn't care about this trend but now that wong fu did a video on it, i'm asking to be added T__T

Wongfu is in the group yay

That group makes me feel like I’m part of a family that has an infinite amount of inside jokes!

thanks for the heads up. I will never go there. LoL when is BGA making a K-ome back?

5:30 OMG this clip is from a mall in the Philippines!! Hahaha now I'm intrigued how many Filipinos are in this "exclusive" group lol

IT STARTED IN AUSTRALIA AND SUDDENLY NOW AMERICANS ARE IN IT. I USED TO BE ABLE TO RELATE SO MUCH now im slightly confused cuz of the americans. BUT YEA ASIAN AUSTRALIAANS AKNOWLEDGEMENT

be prepared to get all of the facebook friend notifications

When Jenn said all in one place, my brain completed it, "with Squarespace".

I saw the business card one!!!

subtle asian trait: finding every single opportunity to work - filming while eating

Wong fu should join Asian Creative Network on facebook as well. The are so many talented and inspirational people there

First time hearing of this but it seems like how before it's Asian Avenue then Zuup now SAT

This started in Melbourne that's why it's more relatable to like the Chinese, Malaysia, Vietnamese

Now there is a true underground Asian network

It’s not so subtle anymore :/

omg.. the group is actually famous

Lol I've never been more confused by a lunch break. So many references and slangs I don't know...lol

you guys should do an updated one to show how far SAT has come. at the time of this comment we have 1.7m people in the group

"If you're a wholesome girl who can ABG it up once in a while... power to you." I'm dead xD

First! Time being this early. Hopefully another first of being noticed 🤞🏼

omg y'all need to make a short w/ a wholesome fuccboi or abg

yoo what up wongfu! See you guys on subtle asian traits! My first video of yours is yellow fever :)
