@pasta Haha while exaggeration with expression may be unnecessary I just happen to like doing my videos that way I guess :). lol I agree everything you said but I feel like even though its difficult for ppl to categorize us they still do it anyways.
You were shocked about people not having rice cookers? Too cute! I'm happa and it seems we actually eat a fair amount of italian type pasta stuff at our house 0_o and I'm not Italian :p
guess? I am so tired of how American society CONSTANTLY focuses on classifying you in some sort of group. We're PEOPLE dammit. QUIT putting us into small boxes! God it angers me.... Ok enough of my rant. Basically yeah, I have dealt with similar things as you have, and it isn't so fun sometimes. =/
I wouldn't change who I am for the world, but I just wish I felt like I could relate to whites and Asians as they do to each other. Whites for the most part are too rowdy...too out there... while Asians are too...introverted. Ok I know I'm being VERY general lol but it's how things generally are here. ANYWAY lol... I'm so tired of people trying to "figure out" what I am. I've gotten spanish, italian, mexican even... rarely do people fully guess. More importantly...why do they even need to
Hmmm As for my experiences, it depends. From when I was very young, I got constant compliments on my appearance. I have wavier hair and my eyes, although slightly more angular than a European, lean more towards the white side. However, I also felt very out of place. I could never associate with whites or Asians in my area because...hmm... I don't know... I didn't feel right with either group. Oddly enough I hung around a lot of hispanics and blacks because they were much more accepting.
@MrMiogio Hopefully thats a complement :P I've actually been told that before but usually after I go running and then I style my hair all crazy cause its grundge-y
@LeoDahLion93 haha I was actually thinking of rementioning you again just because idk if anyone looked the first time but we'll see if it fits into my next video for the channel :P
I'm not really hapa (I'm black and indian) but people get jealous of my long hair! I'm about 1/16th asian, so that's pretty distant. Asians are known to have such beautiful hair (especially Indians in my case) so yes. Hopefully you agree! :D
@pianistayartista Its cool I feel like the stuff we talk about or will talk about deals with all people who are multiethnic even if you don't really feel hapa. and I agree with your statement about beautiful hair :)
being hapa is pretty common in malaysia... esp in areas in and near the city :) most of my friends r hapa n here ppl who r hapa seem to be wanted more than others ;)
@EurAZNinvazn1214 it sure is... ;) i know this 1 friend we call "rojak" which means he's super mixed in Malay cos he's got like a mix of Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Portugese and Indian blood.. :p
My friend had a hard time too....well..being a hapa in an asian country is way totally sucks...but whatever comments he got....he faced it with an attitude like'' Whatever dudes...i know you guys are just jealous because you know that i'm way way better than you....and btw thank you so much cause you would waste your valuable time just to make me feel bad about myself..but you know what...you failed :D''
SO TRUE ABOUT THE RICE COOKERS. It never computes with me that there are people in my country (the US) that don't have them... BUT ANYWAY. Positive thing about being hapa - Exotic sexiness, yes!!! Kind of awkward to say, but both my white family members and my Filipino family members say that I look "exotic" a lot... They mean it as a positive thing. XD So I guess sometimes, being hapa is also about perspective: Instead of thinking "I look odd," think "I look amazazingu~!"
@burenri lol I know I felt like it was similar to how everyone has microwaves or something. and AWESOMEee on the exotic sexiness and very true on the perspective :)
@NaviiAvii sweeeet I"m not in trouble then?? and thank you :) I wish there was more music to choose from on my editing thing tho cuz I end up repeating songs a lot :/
Not trying to be negative but just feel like I have to say that everyone I know (me included) pronounce hapa differently than you ._. I've always said it like hah-pa...now I'm really curious what the proper way to say it is. hmm positives really has been mostly physical trait complements. Jawline, eye color, the abundance of body hair =_= Best of both worlds yada yada. Getting used as an example of the end of racism lawls. Anyways I think you're good for this channel. Enthusiasm ftw
@Raspelfy haha thats okay I actually just look it up and I'm pretty sure the way you pronounce it is the correct way but I guess I've just been saying it the other way cuz I thought ha-pa ha-ppy? lol idk. and hazaaa for compliments about being sexy although tmi on the body hair haha. and thank you :) GOOooooO Enthusiam! :D
@EurAZNinvazn1214 It's okay...I sometimes make grammar mistakes when I talk to my mom (the Asian parent) guess I subconsciously do it to feel more ethnic lol so bad >< also out of curiosity, is this channel going to have "weekly" themes or just keep it as pretty free flow vlogging?
@Raspelfy ohhh well lately we've just had a schedule where we have one person do videos each week but it wasn't really optimism week I just said that lol
@lililylo Seeeee as Hapas we are dead sexy! ;) and hazaa more positive comments :D lol and I love rice too its one of the few foods that I can cook and not mess up :)
@ganana0tube haha awwww thank you :) and ohhh I have an asian friend that is like within my group of friends we never go to his house and we even had a stand off one afternoon where we waited outside his house for two hours with him b4 he finally let us in lol
Hahaha I will never forget the time I was at my Asian friend's house and my white best friend was like, "What is that???" to the rice cooker and we were like -____- haha.
@kkalenaaa haha yeah my non-asian friends either don't eat rice or I've seen them cook it somehow in a microwave once lol. and I'm really glad you like it! :)
Being a hapa is just cool because you get to be two things at once :P
buttt yeah I remember being shocked finding out people don't eat rice or have rice cookers. Because pretty much rice in incorporated into like every meal for me!!!
@AnimexKitty I'm so glad you feel that way! :) and also I know so far we've only been making one video a week but I think we've been talking about up-ing it to more :D

Your exaggeration with expression is completely unnecessary! Yet I am guilty in enjoying it.
Some of the reasons why I enjoy being happa arrreee..
I feel like it's difficult for people to categorize me, and I hate being categorized.
I can cling to whichever ethnicity will let me off easier when people are yelling at me.
And pretty much all of the positive reasons you mentioned ^__^

My sister prefers bread, but I prefer rice. I also inherited lactose intolerance and Asian flush, but she did not. All part of what makes us unique.
Whenever I get told "You have nice eyes", I steal a line from Memoirs of a Geisha. I respond "My mother gave them to me." :-P
I always grew up with different mixed friends. I guess I'm lucky in that regard.
