Thanks Kip, This book says so much about the trouble/blessing that us hapa have growing up. We're not "enough" of either to be truely one or the other. And yet, there are so many of us, we all have each other!
@KennLA368 Technically, Filipinos are usually a mix of Malaysian or Indonesian and Spanish. However, if you are unaware of anything specific in your bloodline other than Filipino, I would just call you Filipino, not a hapa. Americanized Asians tend to develop more Western facial features over time it seems (perhaps due to diet and different facial expressions... I don't really know), so a lot of Americans that have 100% Asian heritage don't look exactly like people from their respective races.
Firstly, they are natural arrivers to America (CONTINENTAL EUROPEANS and ASIANS possessed ocean-faring technology to reach America way earlier than mid-19th century).
Secondly, their forefathers could not have been slavemasters in America cos no CONTINENTAL EUROPEAN country or ASIAN country had taken slaves out of Africa in 16th or 17th century. Clean and great for a start in America!
well i too am filipino and iKNOW that i have european background (spain) although i look "diferent" or mestizo looking i still say i am filipino becase i was BORN and raised there.. basicaly its all in the mind again...
