Well, there are sure going to be a lot more famous HAPAs around here. The majority of the Asians I grew up with are w/ non-Asians.

My bad, I thought hapa was an acronym. I've never even heard of this term until someone mentioned it today.

Quote :

"Hapa, literally “half” in Hawaiian, was originally used as a derogatory term to describe people of biracial ancestry. Today, many multiracial individuals of Asian or Pacific Islander descent have embraced the word as a term of prideful self-identification. Although some object to the term’s appropriation and perceived misuse outside of its traditional Hawaiian context, “Hapa” has been widely adopted by the Asian and Pacific Islander multiracial communities."

And some interesting mixes from the front page.
