Whats it like being Half-White and Half-Asian? Thats an important question for a changing America. With the flood of interracial relationships, and with mixed-race being the fastest growing race in America, there are going to be quite a few Hapa males around. White-Asian marriages seem to be the most common mix. If close to 50% of Asian women marry White men, and 50% of them have males as kids, that means 1 in 4 Asian-American women are going to have a Hapa male like me as a son. So yeah Hapa males are kind of a big deal when 25% of Asian-American women have them as kids.
So what is it like? Humiliation, degradation, terror, fear, embarrassment, shame, self-hated, angst, debasement, sadness, hopelessness, pain, anger, rage, etc etc need I go on? You can’t imagine the internal conflict. The brutal civil war inside all Hapa males. The Hapa Paradox. We exist because Asian men are humiliated and emasculated, and yet we are Asian males. We are at war with ourselves from birth. The idea that an Asian man like me, is genetically 50% white, and carries ONLY the white-male Y chromosome. The Asian Y-chromosome is dead in me. Asian maleness is dead in me. I’m a Eunuch. I’m an Asian male inside a dead Asian male. That is what it means to be half-white, half-asian. All the way back in the 2nd grade, thats how I defined my identity. I would introduce my essay by saying My name is SEML and I’m half white and half asian. So when I was only 7 years old, that was already who I was. My very identity. The thing that made me me, for better or worse. And life has shown it is only for worse. The law of life for the Hapa male is that Murphy was an optimist, everything that can’t go wrong, will go wrong. Has gone wrong. Life is a daily rape for the Hapa male. One long humiliation. One long emasculation. It feels like acid runs through my veins, like my skeleton wants to jump out of my body and strangle me. That is what it means to be an Eurasian male. The very term Hapa is a colonial term from Hawaii. A slur. And what else do Hapas deserve but slurs? So its appropriate that Hapa pride means taking pride in a slur. Non-Hapas can not imagine what it is like to be a Hapa. To be the Asian son of a white man and Asian woman. It is an unimaginable hell. Dante’s Inferno could not devise a more cruel torture. Its like being strangled from the inside.
What kind of life do WM/AFs think they can give their Asian-looking sons? What goes through their heads, when the DR says “its a boy”? What right do they think they have to rule over an Asian man? What makes a white man and an asian woman a parent to an asian man? How can they curse an innocent infant with such a miserable life that they have created? they make this world a shitty place to be an Asian male, and they they create an Asian male. It is the worst form of child abuse.
Its bad enough being an Asian-American male watching WM/AF from the outside. Can you imagine being a Hapa male, feeling WM/AF from the INSIDE? Feeling WM/AF inside you? It is a rape. Life is just a long torture and rape for the Hapa male. Hated by all. Asian males hate hapa males too, when they realize they are hapa. But Asian men are right to hate Hapas. When they look at me, all they can see is WM/AF. Can I blame Asian men for hating me, when I hate myself far far far more for the exact same reason? If they knew more about me, they would hate me more. To the white race, I’m just yellow subhuman scum. The best I can do is get on my knees, and constantly advertise my white dad, and beg for a modicum of acceptance. The good guys hate me because I’m evil, the bad guys hate me because they are evil. Hapas are unloveable monsters. Freaks. Beasts. Subhuman scum. We wander this earth, hounded from all directions. Strangers in every land. Homeless. Raceless. Strangers to strangers. We are ghosts without bodies. And then I think 1/4 children Asian women produce are in my exact same situation. To be hapa is to be hapless. The one good thing about being hapa is you have 1 WM/AF in the world you can hold hostage- your own parents. WM/AFs don’t have to give a shit what their Asian brothers, fathers, family and friends think. They do have to give a little crap what their own son thinks. So its a big deal to them, when the offspring of WM/AF calls out WM/AF to their face. That is the one power in the world, Hapas possess, the power to be a terrible son. Hows that for a revolt against Confucian filial piety?
Will you call me a racist if I say I hate white men? How can you when I am just as white as I am Asian? If I’m to give the devil his due, and say one nice thing about white men it is that his sperm produces beautiful daughters, while Asian sperm produces repulsive she-beasts.
A whiteboy writes:”WHITE GUYS AND ASIAN GIRLS ARE THE FUTURE , TOGETHER THEY ARE GOING TO CREATE A EURASIAN SUPER RACE OF BEAUTIFUL AND HYPERINTELLIGENT CHILDREN” Glad to be part of that future of beautiful and intelligent Eurasian males, who get treated by the world as Asians and thus look at WM/AFs including their own parents the same way bitter Asian guys do.
So anyway thats just a little window into the world of the Hapa man, one of the fastest growing populations in 21st century America!
Your not a monster. With all the pain your going through, I thought it was really sweet that you still care about making white girls laugh, and entertaining them and making them happy even if you think you have no chance with them. That so cute. Its great that your so willing to give yourself, even with all the shit your going through. The commentors on this blog only focus on how angry you are at those who have hurt you, and ignore how sweet you are to the girls you like. I think its great that you’ve devoted your life to making white girls laugh, and I’m sure someday your kindness will be repayed. Even though I’m white, and the whole Asian thing doesn’t effect me at all, reading your blog has made me really pissed at Asian women, and I never really noticed it the same way before. But I will never look at Asian women the same way again, after seeing what they did to a sweet boy like you. So don’t lose heart. I think if more white girls knew what you had to go through, they would feel it just as much as you do.
Man are you are such a tool. Won’t share comments that hurt your feelings. You’re just a sorry ass little fag.
If your accusing me blocking your comments, I found it in the spam queue a few hours after you posted it. Funny thing about wordpress, they even sent my own comment on my own blog to the spam queue, as well, thats how I found yours. But I unspammed it right away.
You didn’t even bother to check if your comment had been posted before complaining?
Anyway if your implying that I’m censoring comments to spare my feelings, just take a look at the comments here, its 95% me-bashing.
I especially welcome and encourage comments from people like you in WM/AF relationships, since it is of interest to see how they feel about Hapa sons of WM/Af like me.
White males in WM/AF marriages hate it if their son looks like an asian cuz it looks like his wife had an affair with a chinese guy.
Quite embarrassing indeed.
And on the contrary, White males in WM/AF marriages LOVE it if their daughter looks like an asian cuz then they will magnify their asian fever and ultimately they will molest her.
Google “chomo”… mostly creepy white guy perverts… If you ever meet a white guy who watches anime, keep your asian daughter away from him!!
I found your blog through StuffWhitePeopleLike since I don’t like that website and StuffBlackPeopleDontLike directed me to it. Here is a language learning software you should use to learn Mandarin or Japanese — > http://www.rosettastone.com/
After learning the language leave the USA and go to your mother’s country (China, Japan, Korea) and have babies with an Asian girl if you’d like.
Hapa guy,
What is your take on the string of white guy vs. asian girl murders lately?

You need to get over yourself and stop obsessing on race. In fact, why don’t you spend some time in, say, China where Asian men are ascendant (over China — and more) and there are plenty of Asian women who would dig you?
Do you by any chance live in America? I’m pretty sure America fucks biracial people right up, simply because of the heavy focus on race there seems to be in that country, and the ‘one drop rule’. I feel very lucky to have been raised in a Western nation in which this whole racial focus thing does not exist. In the UK it is not seen as an identifier in the slightest and generally goes unnoticed when individuals meet. I actually encouraged my brother to stay far, far away from the US when he expressed wishes to attend University there. In fact, I wouldn’t even visit the country, except maybe Hawaii.
There was an American guy in my English classes last year and I avoided him like the plague. The first thing he noticed about everyone was race and I remember him referring to Obama as a ‘Black president’ because he looked Black. Here in the UK, the idea that a biracial person is of a certain race because they look more that way is ridiculous … I recall re-telling the experience to others and them finding it very funny. Don’t get me wrong, British people are still to some degree ignorant and aren’t 100% clued up on mixed race identity, but most do not consider a biracial person ‘just Black’ or ‘just Asian’ because they look closer to Asian/Black than White (most often the case).
Seriously, if you’re in the States consider leaving. It would probably be beneficial to your mental health, and I’m not being funny with you at all.
Oops, just noted ‘Asian-American’. Sorry, it’s 1.30AM here1
Yeah, your a sorry piece of shit… might as well jump off a bridge or shoot yourself. My son is a Anglo-Asian male. He is incredibly handsome. Naturally talented, and loved by everyone. I only wish I could be like him!
You were born into your body to learn that your soul has no race or color. Find peace in your soul and let go of the illusion of who you think you are and the labels other give. Your life mirrors the inner reality you choose to believe in. Focus on pleasant experiences past, present, future. Peace be with you, from another mixed kid
‘your a sorry piece of shit…’
In the English language, “you are” is contracted “you’re.” Please refrain from using the possessive form “your” when the contraction is required.
‘ might as well jump off a bridge or shoot yourself.’
Suicide is not the answer.
Life without a mate sucks. Men can go without sex if they have an emotionally supportive mate.
Also, the blogger here is probably young. Young men have a lot of sexual frustration. It diminishes as one ages. At forty, one might regret a lonely life, but one won’t care as much about sex.
‘You were born into your body to learn that your soul has no race or color. Find peace in your soul and let go of the illusion of who you think you are and the labels other give. Your life mirrors the inner reality you choose to believe in. Focus on pleasant experiences past, present, future.’
That sounds like an optimistic plan. But it’s better than the recommendation of suicide.
Positive thinking works up to a point. I don’t know if it can handle the stress of involuntary celibacy and social alienation. Perhaps a combination of positive thinking and physical action might help.
For my part, I just got back from the gym. I find that regular workouts distract me from my social alienation. Maybe it would work for you.
Wow, I understand what you’re saying, though i am not a guy. I`m eurasian too, and ever since i was born I wasn`t white, and I wasn`t asian. When I was with my “white friends” i didn’t belong because they saw me as asian. The same applies to the opposite. Once when i went biking with my mother some stranges came up to me as a 6 year old and threw many racial comments at us. I was lost at how to respond, and I was hurt as I’m sure my mother was. Whenever I went to an asian gathering or a festival from my mother’s heritage I heard others talking about me. They would laugh and I felt humiliated. They spoke in another language that they thought I couldn’t understand but of course I did. After all i am asian, if not only half. The things I heard when I was little wasn’t nice, and because my parents separated I couldn’t explain why I was the way I was. Why did you people want a 6 year old to answer to ”What are you parents? DO.YOU.UNDERSTAND.? What are you? Are you lost, you don’t seen to belong…” It hurt. I didn’t fit in. I had never met another eurasian person-and wouldn’t for several more years, I did not know how to relate, and i was alone. I didn’t know who I was, and I was bullied, in turn I did the same to others so I wouldn’t get hurt. I put up a wall and no on could get in. I guess after a while I got sick of who I had become. I decided that I didn’t want to be alone anymore and I decided that would be king and accepting. I decided that I would live my life by NEVER judging another by their race, appearance, or beliefs. It took years for people to accept me. I’m in h.s. now and somehow I fit in, all of my friends are of different races.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that what and who you see yourself as is up to you. If you let others tell you who you are, or rather what you’re not it’s going to hurt and affect you, not them. If you take it to heart you’ll waste your time. Hatred is a double sided blade, where when you think that you are hurting the other person you are really hurting yourself. Trust me I hurt myself for 5 years of my life, and I was alone because of it. I know. Just because you are eurasian does not mean you are worth any less, if anything it means that you are more. You came about because two people put their races aside and overcame this trial. I believe that though things seem tough for you right now, you’ll pull through. You are worth it, i believe so personally. Please don’t hate yourself. It may be tough but don’t give up, someday you will make a change, or someone will. You will realise that being mixed, if anything is something that once overcomed will make you stronger. Take care, and excuse me if I have offended you in any way.
Why don’t you just date other Eurasians?
Eurasian women hate Hapa guys, even more than Asian girls do
You’re ignorant, man. I’m half Asian/half White as well. But did it ever occur to you that someone like us has a Asian father and white mother? That is exactly what I have and love it. I’m handsome (if I do say so myself) and graduated from an Ivy League school. Your comments are extremely telling and anyone with half a brain can infer that you are some disgruntled teenager with no perspective or life experience. What right do you have to stereotype and generalize all of us. You are sad and should not be allowed to call yourself a half Asian.
“Eurasian women hate Hapa guys, even more than Asian girls do”
Another false stereotype. I have been with a lot of different girls and they all love the way I look. Well, save Black women, I just never found them attractive. You need to learn to love the person you are and get over the fact that you feel slighted by your parents, who by the way must have been terrible to allow such animosity to build up in their own son. Your Internet privileges should be revoked for expressing such ignorant thoughts. BTW, I don’t blame you, I blame your parent’s for the utter and complete failure they have in a son. Your problem is not ethnic, rather cognitive.
I’ve always made clear that there is a HUGE difference between WM/AF and AM/WF. In fact AM/WF is the exact opposite of WM/AF and one strategy for WM/AF Hapas is to lie and claim they are AM/WF Hapas. The problem is not being mixed, but the specific issues that create the WM/AF imbalance.
I’m an eurasian too. I used to feel like I didn’t belong to anything and existing was an eternal torture. But after years of self hate, and just simply living a life,
I realized how beautiful we are. You may not believe what I’m telling you now, but you will realize this much later in your life. We don’t belong to any race, and we don’t need to belong to any. I don’t normally tell anyone this, because this will cause a storm of jealousy among people who are not eurasians. We are the most beautiful kind of all.
Its great to read comments that aren’t politically correct; “We (eurasians) are the most beautiful kind of all,” and “..I just never found them (black women) attractive.” Too many people on the internet mindlessly peddle their “pc” views as if they were interviewing for a job. If there’s any place where you can be brutally honest, it’s right here, on the internet.
I’m an Asian guy in New York City. I’m decent looking and successful in my profession. When I’m out on the town I make it a point to approach and speak with Asian women. Frequently, the women I’ve encountered brush me off by saying that they don’t date Asian men, when all they really have to say is that they’re with someone.This kind of meanness is uncalled for and I really do believe that the more integrated and accepted Asian women are into white society the more they hate Asian men and treat them the way other races would. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start calling me chink and gook, while they canoodle with their white men. But, I won’t be cowed. I’m going to keep approaching these women and remind them that they are Asian like me. My friends and I even find it amusing and play a game guessing how often I will be rejected. But, the city is not entirely filled with these types of Asian women. A friend recently started dating an Asian girl who actually said that she would never date a white guy no matter how handsome he was. It seems hard to believe, but I think that because she has many brothers she may actually have some feeling for the Asian man.
