Asian people with mixed racial heritages are called Hapa
 

Just an interesting discovery,

Hapa (ha.pa) adj.
a person of mixed racial heritage with partial roots in Asian ancestry.
(aka mixed, halfer, half-breed)

I call them "hybrids". Or "crossbreeds".

Even more interesting... what you think are Asians are actually called Orientals.

Native Indians are KAPA?

some of the hottest girls on earth are hapa.

first vid makes it out to be a handicap....not to mention all those ppl were weird and ugly.

I call them hotties.

Because they usually are.

aka mutts? lol, pedigree, representttt!

jk.

....sort of.


there's a flip side, the ones that aint so hot, kinda offset the hot ones.

I usually find it to be one extreme or another. either they're hot, or totally mutted out.

Picked up this book after my wife and I saw the exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago.

So, would Filipino count as hapa? I think most if not all Filipinos are decendants of mixed origin. My mother's family (Filipino) has Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, and Italian origins.

I hear that originally Filipinos were very dark skinned, almost black. But that could just be a myth.

watch the term Hapa turn into racial slang soon enough. I have always called mixed races
Multi-Racial I think that's the more proper terminology not some stupid slang word.

I think most filipinos now are probably a mix of the indigenous ppl from the Philippines islands and some sort of spanish descendants

Does that make me "originalhapa"?



teehee

I think there's a term for this in most Asian countries.

Unless the meaning has changed recently, hapa = half hawaiian, half not

Some still are
