I cried when tanks were in Tiananmen
The commies crossed a red line
I cried when George Floyd was murdered
Like he was a brother of mine
But Julian Assange got what was coming
Let him rot in jail till the end of time

So love me, love me, love me, i'm a (boba) liberal

I go to Stop Asian Hate and BLM rallies
And I hope C02 levels will drop
I love Bollywood, Anime and Lunar New Year
I hope Asian Culture stays on top
But don’t talk about China and TikTok
It’s all propaganda that must be stopped

So love me, love me, love me, i'm a (boba) liberal

I cheered when Lai was elected
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad we killed the commies
In Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam and more
I lecture my parents about Black and Hispanic issues
Yet if they move near me, that I refuse

So love me, love me, love me, i'm a (boba) liberal

I’m part of the milk tea alliance
I’m against China and it’s 9 dash line
I’m all for American foreign policy
Except when it comes to Palestine
I’m all for a two state solution
but Hamas is no friend of mine

So love me, love me, love me, i'm a (boba) liberal

I speak for all other Asians
we all love America all the same
I love our cuisine and hate microaggressions
and mispronunciations of my name
Yet when it comes to hate crimes in the West
Now that’s just a crying shame

So love me, love me, love me, i'm a (boba) liberal

Yes I watch CNN and Buzzfeed
I’ve taken their every view
You know I’m all for LGBTQ rights
I even support #Metoo
Yet if we go to war with China
Now that’s when I bleed red white and blue!

So love me love me love me, I’m a (Boba) Liberal

I vote for the democrat party
They strengthen NATO’s Command
I’m always at a BTS Concert
And shop for every Japanese brand
We’re making authoritarianism history
I’m on Twitter taking a stand!

So love me love me love me, I’m a (Boba) Liberal

I know that our system is oppressive
Capitalism and white supremacy to blame
But why should I fight for any real change
As I adore being a pawn in their game
So don’t call me a “Ch*nk or G**k”
Please trust me I’m not the same

So love me, love me, love me. I’m a boba liberal

I’ll bite: what’s a boba aside from a tea?

Boba liberals are Asian liberals, mostly in the West but can apply as a context in Asia, members of the diaspora who use their asianness as a crutch to support white supremacy and the capitalist superstructure. Common phrases like, "Han is the white of China", "Asians are white adjacent", and always speak for other Asians.
