Perhaps you want to spend some time in Guam or Saipan? Over there, you will find people of that background don't use any lingo to describe themselves. Only katonks& wannabe bazzi use this word in that sense. where did you learn to use the usage? curious how you use lingo de franca that is not your background to describe yourself.

I'd never heard the term 'hapa' before. Elliot! Can I make a suggestion? Highlight the announcement that it's a guest post, and put it at the top. I had a terrible time reading the line "As a half-Japanese girl who looked more Caucasian than Japanese" over and over again, wondering if I missed something in your archives... ;) BTW, you've been tagged...
