I read this book called 'Nothing but the truth, and a few white lies' and in the book there's this girl that's part Taiwanese & White because her mom married a white guy. Anyhow, the girl didn't like that she was half n' half cuz she felt that she wasn't fully a part of anything. Her friend in the book said that she was crazy because hapas are very pretty/exotic looking and that she has nothing to worry about.

Are there any 'hapas' here that feel the same way? Or feel that it's better being half n' half? Or get complimented on your looks or whatnot? I'm just asking because I've seen some models that are half n' half and they're really pretty.

Just curious, that's all.

I've wished I was mixed before, particularly Asian & white. I know tons of people who are mixed with those two, and they're always hot, some of the most attractive people I've ever seen.

i'm mixed. but not asian and white i'm chinese and filipino and i'm mistaken for many diffrent ethnicities, and all of the guys i have dated and been especially attracted to are mixed with asian and white and i love it and they are gorgeous and i like being mixed and i mixed guys always have and always will haha and i want to marry a mixed guy and have mixed pretty little babies hahaha

Pshhh. I'm Chinese and 1/16 Taiwanese. Doesn't make a difference..
But then, it's only 1/16 and Taiwanese, so it shouldn't make that much of a difference in the first place.

I am. I'm half chinese, half american. I don't feel bad or ashamed about it at all. I'm actually proud of my heritage.

I wish. Mixed people are usually extremely attractive.

hapas are so hot.
omg. this is the best topic ever. ;D

I'm one.
But it doesn't affect me in any way.
Oh, wait, yeah.
I used to tell people I was full Asian, because I envied full Asian girls.

LOL "CHING"

I'm fully asian. Blehh. I really wish I was mixed. My friend is mixed with like everything, and yeah, she's really pretty. -.- I'm the jealous one, ohyah.

i'm mixed. Mixed with Filipino and American. Yeah i'm glad.

Um, I suppose the book could be a teenage thing? I mean, the girl in it was a teenager, but yeah. Oh, and I'm sorry I didn't put it in the right place.. I really had no idea where to put it and so I just posted this in the Girl's Locker..

But yeah, I guess can say that everyone thinks hapas are hot. I always wanted to be mixed before, too. Only cuz I wanted to be able to speak like 3 different languages, but yeah.. I have a different view on being mixed, now.

they are usually good looking but i havent seen one for a while

Mixed people are gorgeous. Honestly. I can name so many mixies that are extremely attractive.

From my experience, Hapas can be really hot or really ugly.

haha no, actually, i rather like being mixed.
my mommy's full Asian (Chinese)
and my daddy's full white/European (German, Italian, British, Irish, Welsh and a little Native American).
i just like having a lot of different nationalities in me, i guess.

im mix with black and korean and I like it. There aint nothin wrong wit it.

aww cute! i wish i wa mix! lol i'm 100% filipina

I'm half man half awesome.

Hehe.. That's so funny. I bet you are awesome! =P

LOL!

I'm just white, so.. yeah. Both of my parents are/were white.

Yeah, I'm mixed and I like it...makes me different. I'm Spanish, Filipino, Chinese, Hawaiian (mostly Spanish, then Filipino, etc.) so yeah...my friends call me exotic. Haha...

I'm mostly hispanic but I have a little asian in me.
People usually think i'm just asian just because of my eyes..
but I don't see where they're comming from with that saying..
so yeah, sometimes it bugs me, sometimes it doesn't.

I have two friends that are hapa. Half chinese and half white. I`m not hapa, I`m just latin.

um i think spanish and asians make good mixes, or some euroasians.

you sound like you're going to burn a cd?

Hey, I think I should put one of those Asian songs on here, and follow up with some Samba. Then, it'll end with European techno.

ROFL. YEAH! My made-up name was something like that, but I can't remember.

Ah, I love mixes. Not only ____ & White, but in general. My friend is Chinese and Filipino, and everybody in his family (well except his older brother) is just so ATTRACTIVE

boyfriend is chinese-japanese/white.
hooorah

Heey hapa is a term we use here all the time in hawaii. But anyways, i'm not hapa, but my boyfriend is. A lot of people who are hapa really are good looking though.

I wish that i was mixed with many kind of asian, white, and a bit hispanic.

Yea, somehow mixed people are usually more popular at school.

I really haven't thought of what will I feel if I was mixed, but I guess it would be quite an awkward feeling.

Filipino.
But then again..isn't filipino a lot of things?
Ok, I'll stop trying. XD

cool!!!


l'm half filipino, half chinese and its the very cool thing that happens to me. being half chinese in our society makes us respectful in our group or any group. they call us chinoy

i have to half/ halfs.

Friend One: Japanese&&White
Friend Two: Mexican&&White<<<you cant even tell she has mexican in her. she is blonde hair and blue eyes.

they like being half half.

Heh well I'm half Korean half Taiwanese...but there are a couple other ethnicities mixed in there. Pretty chill stuff, I never really feel out of place. I think it's more that I can fit into several cultures with my hapaness, you know?

yeah..so far people that are mix that i know are really pretty...

im african american, native american, creole, and chinese....i say it works out pretty good

My friend is a bit Chinese, a bit Vietnamese, a bit Italian. She looks beautiful

um i'm really just hawaiian/caucasian.
my mom was adopted, her adopted parents were chinese, filipino, german, irish, spanish ect hahahhaaa. so i say i'm all of that ^

I'm half english half french but i guess that it doesn't count at all as there is no skin difference.

Half/half? What the hell are we? Cream? Morons...

You prove the fact that hapas are HOT ^^
they seriosuly are, mexican and black <3 black and white.....Haley berry =D

You're just a cream.

fyi, taiwan is part of china

Eh Im puertorican and black

But my dads girlfriend is Chinese so does that count?

Not exactly. Taiwan wants its independence, but China still wants to keep it.
And they have different governments as well.
It's an issue that's still being debated.

And there's a difference between being Chinese and being Taiwanese. Sure, most Taiwanese people speak Mandarin, but there is a Taiwanese dialect that sounds totally different. A lot of my Taiwanese friends get pissed off when someone calls them Chinese.

I love the mix between afro-americans and asians..
They are so cute..
Like LOVELY.
I am just romanian and greek myself

I'm mixed. Dominican and Polish. Except I came out all pale skin/blonde hair/blue eyes. My brother, on the other hand, looks fully Dominican (brown hair/tan skin/brown eyes). Maybe a third child would have been more mixed-looking...

i have a bias against their parents. why?

mixed race between whites and asians are (for the VAST majority) asian women who have been fed Western culture and desires that they go to the point of considering many asian men unattractive or repulsive. White men marry asian girls because western culture has given them a fetish towards asian ladies because of the many stereotypes of asian women (obedient, makes a white man look better. i could go on but then id violate the PG13 rule).

basic example. Japanese culture. All japanese women have been fed Western ideas that getting an American boyfriend is the most attractive thing. thats why many perverted white boys travel to Japan to teach english without knowing a single sentence of japanese beyond "konichiwa" and "ching chang chong." These men just go to clubs every night and bang a japanese chick because japanese girls idolize white men and they fill the white guy's fetish for asian girls.

the result is a bastardized relationship. if they could have developed a love for each other from just attraction, i dont resent that. but, again, for the vast majority, these asian women are Western wannabes who destroy their own culture and heritage to marry a white man. These women lose all contact with their culture for the most part. A woman wanted to enroll her child at my local chinese school. she was married to a white man. she left crying because she couldnt understand the chinese the parents were saying even though she was fluent when she was a child. She had lost her cultural identity.

The result of their relationship is a child who belongs to neither race. Asians will not fully accept them because the child does not understand what it means to be asian, has not grown up like other asians and cannot relate. How can a half asian relate to the jokes between asians about how tough their parents are on grades when their father isnt that strict over grades with them? white people will not totally accept them because theyre not totally white. no matter how hard they try, they'll never fit into either group fully. but because they cannot relate to asians, they are pushed even further towards white culture.
