The Southeast Asian/Islander hapas look easily Mestizo,while the East Asian ones look like Anime characters,especially half Japanese.

Rhetorical question,would someone who is half West Papuan or some other Melanesian ethnicity and half Caucasian,but is from Indonesia,be considered "Eurasian/Hapa" or "Mulatto"?

[detskpit]

I read up on this a while ago. Hapa was an original Hawaiian word for half-breed. Quapa is some made up crap. Not to mention it sounds like Quapaw which was an actual Native tribe in Arkansas. Anyway I can understand people using Hapa, especially in Hawaii where it is from the native language, but why invent silly terms like quapa? I can be a quarter-breed, Eurasian, Amerasian, off-white, mixed-race, Anglo-Jap, etc. I don't need new invented silly words.

I understand, but quapa seems to be popularly used in Hawaii's local culture to denote someone who is a quarter, rather than half.

I like Hapa better. Mixed breed in my language is somewhat defined as "barbarian."

Hmmm, I think so

What do you mean,"I think so?".I'm asking because of course that mixture would probably create a phenotype quite distinct from those "Hapas" you posted,so what would they be considered?

[MyLeva]

^^ maybe it has meaning in Hawaii then. Still a recently made up anglicized word though.

In the southern USA, this is a Quapaw:

Definitely not mulatto nor Eurasian. I have no clue if they would be considered hapa, though.

Yes, the phenotype might be somewhat like mixed black and white.

I haven't seen any mixed melanesians or papuan.

[brorialsibers]

Soo,not "Eurasian",but Hapa yes?Melanesians are Pacific Islanders as well,not Negroid.

[RadcliffXX]

Yes, then they are Hapas.

[BrainTop]

I agree with miaozu.

[Heclailia]

Hmmm, there lots of HAPA where I live, but I sometimes mistaken them for Hispanics or Southern Europeans. lol

[imictiorume]

Now you have,here's two East Timorese mesticos:

[dmitrynts]

The guy looks like Hispanic.
The lady looks like a native Hawaiian.

Very interesting. The world is so beautiful. :-)

It's so interesting how racial mixes can come out looking like something else entirely.She looks Mulattoid-Quadroonish to me.

It isn't so simple as "this plus this equals that".I think race mixing isn't like mixing colors but more like mixing different ingredients in a chemical laboratory,leading to new phenotypes and looks with crazy possibilities.

[SaraKonradtt]

:-) my friend, he's mixed, but he's sort of unattractive.

Really? She doesn't look it to me. I think it's pretty evident that she looks part Far Eastern, IMO.

More Melanesian "Hapas"

Papuan/White:



Torres Straight Islander/White:

[tilmprarnerit]

cute. :-)

[QiuCIOdO]

Quapa (and Guapa )




I can't think of any famous Hapas (half Hawaiian and half something else). I thought BJ Penn might be Hapa, but I'm not sure if he has Hawaiian ancestry.

Second pic could pass for some Hawaiians with Portuguese ancestry I've seen before.
