hapa is a term originating in the Hawaiian islands, where it is used to refer to people with two or more ethnicities. It does not always mean "part asian"...it can be any two or more ethnicities. In the old days, hapa reffered to only being part white and part polynesian (Hawaiian). hapa means "part", so it can apply to 1/4 Hawaiian or French or whatever ethnic background as well.

Hawaiian: a person of mixed racial background. From English "half". Probably originally used in the phrase "hapa haole" = lit. "half white" ("haole" = "white person").

In literal terms, hapa means half, or part. In the past, the term was coupled with the term haole, which means Caucasian or foreigner, to categorize a person as half-white. As such, being a hapa was akin to being a half-breed, a somewhat negative notion. However, in contemporary usage, hapa has taken on the meaning of anyone of mixed ethnicities, especially in Hawaii where more than half the population is of mixed race. On the Mainland, however, the half-breed connotation still prevails in some circles.

A term in biology for genetic supremacy. The combination of two races that come together to create a visually appealing piece of art. If Hitler had his choice he would have spit an Arlan in the eye for a glimpse of the true master race... the Hapa.
Hapa: Oliva Munn, Dean Cain, Bruno Mars, Mike Shinoda, Nicole Scherzinger, Dwain Johnson, Apolo Anton Ohno

Person who is mixed and will have evident phenotypes and genotypes are random.
Some people think they are more attractive and superior. Some people think they are a disgrace to the side of the family. Depends on who sees what. There are beautiful hapas and ugly hapas.
Genetically being mixed is totally random genetics and some people don't realize this. Even being a "pureblood" person has a mix of genetics. This is why people as a whole look different due to of genetics.
Did you know a mule is infertile and that is totally mixed hybrid? Did you know there is also thing as genetic vigor for hybrids?
Did you know there is also inbreeding depression and outbreeding depression?
All of these genetic makeups have a chance for problems or traits wanted.
Science and genetics is tricky but it goes to show genetics is random.
The point is no one is superior in genetics. So being mixed does not mean genetically superior. Neither being pureblood means genetically superior. Genetics is a random game.

Full- "Sometimes I wish for hapa looks!"
Hapa- "Sometimes I wish to look full!"
We want what we can't have sometimes... both can be jealous of each other yet like each other at the same time.
