O.O Those are considered racist terms in most places... I would hope in ALL places... you might want to be careful how you use them and who you say them too.

I know. I'm just not sure if I should compare the term 'hapa' to other racist terms. Is it? I'm not sure.

No, they mean different things. You can pm me if you want, I doubt further explanaition in this thread would be appropriate for all audiences, lol.

Hapa means Half in Hawaiian(Sp?)
Most half Asian half White call themselves this,There is also Eurasian(European-Asian) AmerAsian etc.. Hapa is not a racist word but I've never heard of the ones you said Duelingwands.

Oh in our country they are called Mestizas/ Mestizos.
Yeah we've got lots of them here... white filipinas... theyre usually Filipinos who have lots of spanish or american blood. We also have Chinoys here, which are half Chinese half Filipinos. Many are white too...
My mom is a white Filipina... she's got spanish blood. I however am sorta tannish already coz I look like my dad.

hmm, isn't that just mixed-blood? i know that could be taken as an insult, but it's the most accurate description.
I'm part Dutch, part American, part Indonasian, i think for some part French.. (  )
so yeah, not sure what i could call myself, but it's not like you see this clearly to me oslt..

No! That's 1/2 Japanese 1/2 African. And it's racist to call someone that. And why did you laugh when you said Chinoys?

I'm half german. My dad calls me a little kraut, but is there another word? XD Personally I think most Asian folk look really pretty even if they are mixed blood.

Here, someone who is Blackanese is referring to someone who is half black, half Japanese OR Chinese.
How is that racist and Hapas and Chinoy isn't? 
Also, he didn't laugh at Chinoys, Halfbloodprincess did.
