you know also as a taiwanese person I am going to be so real whenever yt people are like "actually boba isn't chinese it's taiwanese 😇😇" it's like. u literally don't even careeee not even mentioning the fact that taiwan and mainland china do not have opposite cultures and it makes more sense to think of taiwan as a province of china like fujian or hunan. boba despite originating in taiwan can be broadly considered an east asian drink among the diaspora. like to act like a chinese man was "out of line" for saying boba is part of his cultural heritage. it's just so painfully western

#anyways we have a lot of feelings about that #like the issue of taiwan as a province of china is a whole other issue but to treat it as a completely independent piece of land #with no influence from china is ridiculous. taiwan was literally colonized by han chinese from mainland china.#the discrimination against the indigenous taiwanese continues. and the west likes to just ignore that in favor of acting like #the majority han population and government is somehow an authority on a culture completely separate from mainland china #ngl taiwanese americans can lowkey get annoying. like most of the taiwanese americans r pretty right wing #bc like. the type of taiwanese person that moves to the west. and the vested interest in making taiwan part of the us imperial core or #whatever. like taiwan in general is already sucking the us' dick LMAO #ok whatever. what ever #confluence.txt
