This term is derived from the snack food Twinkie and means "white on the inside, yellow on the outside." A similar term is banana. | | | Twinkieism is seen by many as an example of cultural theft. | | | Another use of Twinkie can be in describing an Asian American who has become completely integrated into white, mainstream American culture, thus losing their traditional Asian values. |
