All Hapas in YW: Please step up and represent!

[Sunflare]

To all you crazy Hapas', Blasians, and other individuals of mixed descent in Yellowworld: Represent yourselves. Step up to the stage and speak out, let yourselves be known that you all cherish your mixed heritage and are damn proud of it !! w00t !!

Rage.... increasing.... veins... popping.... skin turning red....

Calm down.. calm down...

Crystal Clear, this kind of post was common back in the day (2002, 2003). Since then, we've tried to make our hapa forum different from other hapa websites. Pride in being mixed on an individual basis is fine, but calling for one segment of the YW population to show collective pride in the face of others who don't share that aspect for which they are showing pride only serves to divide YW. In the Asian-American community we need more solidarity. The hapas who want to show pride in being hapa can choose to not be thought of as Asian-Americans if they want to. This site and forum is different.

I'll consider what you have said to me the next time I post in this thread. Thanks for the wake up call buddy.

Go get a couple of beers now and chill. It's not that serious, I made the OP for kicks, not to use as flamebait to start WWIII on the net . Hmmm. . . . this may be a interesting debate for another thread.

It's all good. Lotsa hapas come to know about AA issues because this forum is here, when their original intention was to be confrontational, so at the very least, even threads like these serve a purpose. That's why I think we need an adoptee forum as well.

I'm still learning. Thanks for being a gentleman on understanding my intentions of this OP.

Decided to create a new thread so identity issues can be discussed on a more serious note:

You know there already is a sticky thread that discusses just that.... I'll merge the two..
