White guy occasional boba tea drinker here. Never knew anybody that avoided "dirty" boba shops.

In the South Bay I have never heard of anybody, white or otherwise, judging boba tea places by anything else other than drink quality/taste. The #1 complaint I have heard is places not taking Credit Cards for < $6 orders.

However, I have heard some people question what the boba is made out of, but that never stopped them from enjoying their drink.

Saying that white mom's will trust boba guys over other places just seems silly. Pretty much all these places are equivalent to coffee shops and are pretty tame to allow a teenager to go to. Maybe I live in a bubble, but the racial overtones is completely lost on me.

The South Bay is basically SGV lite though. obviously there are no racial overtones in an area where asians are a plurality
