维基百科,自由的百科全书

波霸自由人Boba liberal)、波霸自由派波霸自由主义Boba liberalism)是欧美描述生活在西方世界且带有明显“自由主义”观点的东亚东南亚人。主要用于西方亚裔侨民英语Asian diaspora,尤其是在美国。偶尔用作形容将武器化东亚东南亚身份的保守派。这个新词首先出现在亚裔美国人社区,用作指责波霸自由主义者透过参与进步主义社会运动来表达自己的“自由主义信仰,让自己看起来更接近白人,同时忽视和淡化亚洲人的问题。[1][2][3][4]

可能是新自由主义的一种形式,例如,通常支持时尚美观激进主义[5]代表人物属于中产阶级资产阶级小资产阶级亚裔美国人[5]

定义

“Boba liberal”一词首次有记录使用于2019年越南裔美国人Twitter用户 @diaspora_is_red 指亚裔美国人消费资本主义为中心,维护白人自由主义意识形态[5][6]

支持时尚激进主义[5]。指亚洲人鹦鹉学舌、人云亦云,复制白人自由主义者观点。利用微妙的亚洲特征刻板印象代表亚裔。淡化亚裔侨民英语Asian diaspora实际问题[7]。会讨论头发筷子是否属于文化挪用,但忽视平等公义全球化的话题[5]

通常被认为是中上阶层的“cishet”,即顺性别异性恋观点有限,排斥异己,排挤不守自己标准亚裔美国人[5]

波霸自由主义者亚洲身份明显违背了其渴望成为白人的目标,动辄得咎为肤浅。因此利用“喜欢波霸奶茶”等亚洲刻板印象表面特征出现了“波霸自由”一词。[8][9]

虽然术语用了“自由主义”一词,但术语并不排斥保守主义等特定意识形态。可以包括保守派亚洲人,例如维护模范少数族裔标签亚裔[10][7]

Boba liberalism thrives in a capitalist and neoliberal society because neoliberal policies primarily benefit wealthier communities. Typically, the faces of boba liberalism are Asian Americans that are part of the middle and upper economic class. As a result, boba liberals disregard the negative effects of capitalism because they profit from it. For instance, boba liberals tend to focus on advocating for Asian representation in white spaces, or discussing whether or not wearing chopsticks in one’s hair is culture appropriation. These topics are popular within boba liberal circles, all while dialogue regarding inequality, globalization, and racial injustice are purposely neglected.

(原始内容存档于2024-05-14). “Boba liberalism” obscures the diversity present in the community. It effaces the stories of working-class families, stories of undocumented immigrants, and stories of people who are fundamentally vulnerable in the community. Another issue with “boba liberalism” is rooted in its prevalence among middle- to upper-middle-class East and Southeast Asian communities and how they maintain the dominant voice within the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) sphere.

While bubble tea itself is neither inherently political nor bad, per se, some Asian Americans are critical of the dominant strain of Asian-American politics, called “boba liberalism,” that the drink has come to represent in certain circles. Boba liberalism — is the “substanceless trend-chasing spectacle” that is mainstream Asian-American liberalism, derided as shallow, consumerist-capitalist, and robbed of meaning.
