Waisian is such an insulting term. It is right up there with LatinX in terms of eye rolling cringe worthy virtue signaling. |
Hapa is the correct term. Wasian is a made up fake term. It is insulting |
This is the most idiotic post ever. Hapa is the non offenive, correct term, used by actual biracial asians with white and asian heritage. Hapa has been the common and culturally sensitive term for at least 50 to 60 years or more. |
White/asian mixed people don't use wasian because it borders on offensive. White/asian people use "hapa" |
No. Hapa means half asian and half white. Half Japanese/half white Half Hawaiian/half white Half Philippino/half white... Etc Etc |
Or spanish/middle eastern looking. Genetics are interesting. |
They don't knkw the term because asian/white mixed people don't use the term. |
Wasian is not a thing, except among the white liberals of DC who need to give everyone a made up name for their perceived grouping. |
No, you're wrong. It is a Hawaiian word that the Native Hawaiians used to describe Native Hawaiian mixed with another race. Yet another thing stolen from the Hawaiians. |
| Racist thread |
The word “hapa” is the Hawaiian translation for English word “half”, meaning “half white.” The phrase was used by native Hawaiians to describe the mixed offspring of white settlers and islanders.. and later to include Asians and other Pacific Islanders. |
No it doesn’t. Phonetically maybe. But the word “Asian” doesn’t appear with those letters in order. |
Calm down, gramps. “Wasian” is legit if that’s what those in the community want to be called. Terms do evolve over time. For example: Negro, Black, African American. |
| My understanding Is that this is not referencing mixed race, this is kids that are white that are unusually strong in STEM and hang with the Asian kids that are very strong in STEM. Heard it 15 Years ago from a young cousin on the west coast whose Asian friends called her that. |
What is waisian? |
