| DC is waisian and seems to have made a lot of waisian friends, way more than in HS. Do your waisian kids bunch together in college or mix more with the Asians? or is their friend group more mixed? |

| Waisian? White + Asian? |

Wait, is this phrase not commonly known? |

| My Wasian DD has definitely found several other Wasian friends at her California university, which she mostly lacked in high school. It’s great. |

Interesting. Mine too - way more than HS. I personally think it’s great. Mixed race people tend to have unique issues and concerns and it’s great that they have each other to talk to and feel a sense of belonging. |

Just read it for the first time here. Also heard Blasian here too, and thought it was racist. |

| My kids refer to themselves as Wasian. |

It's a terrible portmanteau. I mean it actually has the full word asian in it. Why not aishite? Or asiack
