What is Banana Republic?

That country will always be nothing more than just another banana republic.

Banana Republic - meaning

A conservative asian/islander, opposite of a boba liberal. Both are just as annoying/bad in their own ways. Bananas are yellow on the outside but white on the inside. They see things from the perspective of Republicans and side along conservative issues.

They will downplay any political issues because Asians should assimilate with the white culture and be the model minority. They believe that getting close to the White-Americans is the way in order to achieve the American Dream while downplaying any issues with other minorities such as the Black-Americans and Brown-Americans (thus trying to get away from them as much as possible).

They believe that Asian American problems are only second to White Americans BUT the same time will downplay social issues amongst other Non-White Americans because they are deemed not as important compared to Asians and Whites.

They are the type to fly the Trump/MAGA flags, yelling it loud and proud but not care when President Trump has called it the "ChinaVirus" because they believe that because the virus was started overseas - it will not affect them in any way on the scale of American Racism ideologies.

They fled their countries because of communism and believe the sole purpose of the democrat party is to bring back communism. They are non-believers of white supremacy since they view the White Americans as superiors but will throw any "non-white" issues under the bus because they think it is communism or a free handout.

Kevin Nguyen: "My grandpa is constantly watching conservative youtube channels and now he is a banana republic wearing that MAGA hat".

Banana Republic - slang

This phrase means "a country run by crazies" - I quote Dianne from "The Good Fight" season 3, episode 3, when she says, after someone suggests that the USA has its faults, "We're not a Banana Republic, you know."

"We're not crazy, like a Banana Republic, you know."

Banana Republic

A store run by Gap, Inc., which postures itself as the "upscale" line by being more expensive than both Gap and Old Navy. After you rummage through a few pile of shirts and scour the whole store for anything colorful, one realizes that it is no better than the Gap and with the quality just as lacking. Banana Republic tirelessly competes with J. Crew, its primary rival, although the corporate execs forget that a store filled with beige, brown, and khaki only invites a similar trend of mediocrity. Why bother?

Banana Republic is the de-facto anchor of most suburban, outdoor lifestyle centers, thus cheapening the image of the brand.
