I call them hotties.

Because they usually are.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

aka mutts? lol, pedigree, representttt!

jk.

....sort of.


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

[death_blossom]

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.

[murd0c]

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.

[Selanne_200]

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

[Watercloset]

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

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

An interesting thing to note is that these "Negritos" were all over Southeast Asia prior to the influx of an "Asian" wave of peoples that came from the mainland or from around the Malay Archipelago.

In the Philippines, these Negritos are primarily known as "Ati" or "Aeta", "Semang" in Malaysia and "Mani" in Thailand.

Population-wise, they are quite small in number present day but they do, indeed, exist.

they are similar to the melanesian people of papua new guinea, fiji, vanuatu etc

Just want to add, asians are probably descended from negritos. We just changed once we moved north and then back south. There's black people still in southern Asia. eg Sentinelese people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese_people)
