#quapa

I like to hc that Melmord is a quapa (quarter Korean) but he’s pretty white passing, but if he and Amber were to have a kid, the Asian genes would be at full force

[spoekelse]

Just because someone has roots in Hawaiʻi does not make it OK for people to use the term hapa or quapa. Also, what is a quapa.. just goes to show the lack of understanding by outsiders. Hapa already means mixed and is not defined by blood quantum in current Hawaiian language colloquial speaking.

I'm not the one who decides what terms people use. I just know that in mixed Asian communities, especially on the internet, and especially in older forums, this is a term very commonly used. "Quapa" arose from those who identified as "hapa" (in these communities) saying those with less than strictly 50% needed to be called something different.

Until Tumblr, I never heard that anyone was against the words being used that way; because mixed people from Hawai'i were the first to form large communities for mixed Asians, they introduced the word to our vocabulary, and many assumed it was ok to use without knowing the context of its origin. There is ample work to be done educating people that this isn't correct.

"Wasian" and "blasian" were most commonly used in porn, and left too many ethnicities out, creating a need for something more inclusive. And both of those options are sort of like "latinx", which is to say that they're well outside the phonotactic constraints of many Asian languages. I don't think it's right to keep using "hapa" if it's against the wishes of Hawai'ian people, but I don't think it will go away entirely a suitable alternative is found. (which of course doesn't excuse it, I'm just being pragmatic)

I saw at least 2 other people doing "get to know me" posts which means it's a trend now =u= So here are some fun facts about me

Under a cut just in casies

My ADHD is a huge part of my personality; I have TONS of hobbies that bring me joy. Included among them are: working out/general physical fitness, ice skating, cosplay, skateboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, and music composition

I'm a dog person! Not to say I don't like cats, but I grew up with dogs and I've kind of never not had a dog

I'm what the kids call a "quapa," which essentially means I'm 1/4 Japanese, 3/4 not Japanese (white, in my case). I identify as "mixed." I grew up in a multi-generational household and my baa-chan honestly had more involvement in my upbringing than my dad did, so I'm very connected to my Japanese heritage.

In a textbook case of "the American education system forced me to commit to my fleeting teen passions on my parents' dime," I have a BA in History that I'm not using and will likely never use (except in the odd leftist rant about colonialism in Africa and the Americas)

That's about it! I promise I'm very friendly, just bad at socializing, and I appreciate every attempt at conversation y'all make with me! If I ever come across as disinterested or distant, it's 100% just my shitty online presence :') I really appreciate all of you very much. Feel free to hit me up to talk about whatever and please don't be discouraged by my constant ghosting 😭 I swear I'm trying my best

I heard on the radio that today is National Power Rangers Day. In honor of that and the upcoming Saboten Con, I present former Power Ranger, current busy voice actor, and Quapa Papa Johnny Yong Bosch who stopped by The Obento Lady booth at Kikori Con a few years ago. I gave him some Power Ranger chopsticks for his kids. 🍱 . . . #sabotencon2018 #saboten #KikoriCon #90skids #mmpr #supersentai #bento #hapa #quapa #quapapapa #hapahero #powerrangers #powerrangerday #theobentolady #johnnyyongbosch

kept trying to give my best friend my recipe for saucy shiitake mushrooms that I came up w/ to feed my ex girlfriend who was very specific about what she wld eat & what she wldn’t eat & whatsapp kept erasing each voice message before I was done & AHHHH I mean, it worked eventually but I’m all flustered now lol  LET MY SHARE MY RECIPE INTERNET  (it was my fault. I kept touching things) anyway, if anyone else wants to know how to make it since I’ve now repeated it so many times that it is all I can think about: get some shiitake mushrooms get low sodium oyster sauce (vegetarian, non-vegetarian, whatever works) get low sodium tamari (i use it over soy sauce because the flavor is less sharp & has more depth imo) get some tuong ot toi (chili garlic paste) (optional - my ex liked spice) get some fish sauce (optional) get some sriracha (optional) get some garlic cloves get some green onions (optional) get some citrus (orange is nice) or fresh coriander (cilantro) or both get some flour or cornstarch (i just always used flour)

pop out the stems of the mushroom, they are tough & you do not want them; however, you can use them to make broths/stocks. Slice mushrooms about a half of an inch thick (you want them thick enough to stand up to the cooking & the sauce). Roughly chop as much garlic as you’d like (I always used a lot). You want to roughly chop them so that they do not burn. Haphazardly slice up the green onions (as many as you want -- I’d typically use three to four if I was using them). Heat oil in pan on medium heat. Throw in mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms begin to brown. Right as mushrooms start to brown, throw in the garlic & the green onions & cook until garlic has softened. Mix the sauce: I just eyeball this, so I throw in the oyster sauce (I often used vegetarian oyster sauce, but it all works), some tamari, some chili garlic paste, maybe some sriracha & fish sauce (really just whatever you have in the fridge currently will do), & then I’d thin it out with water (water is very important because the condiments, even when using low-sodium ones, are salty). I’d then throw some flour into the pan w/ the oil & mushrooms & make a roux-like thing. Then I’d throw in the sauce & let cook & bubble until thickened. I’d make a slurry out of water & flour to pour directly into the pan if the sauce was still too thin or I needed to add more water to make it less salty (thus making the sauce thin again after thickening it once). After it was all done, I’d throw in some chopped cilantro & maybe a squeeze of citrus to brighten everything up. & that is that.  Serve with steamed white rice. Or, if your girlfriend has particular food tastes, then serve the mushrooms alongside potstickers (jiaozi).

i mean look at these cuties! ✨ kristina and i have always bonded over our hapa status, and she lovingly calls our kids “quapa.” maybe she didn’t make that one up but she’s so clever & hilarious that i just assumed she did. 🤩 for anyone wondering, hapa haole is hawaiian for basically, being part white. even though it originated for folks of hawaiian & polynesian heritage, the term has been adopted by many folks of asian &/or other pacific island nations. i was born on hawai’i but would never dare claim to be hawaiian… but i’ve always proudly embraced being hapa. ✨ _____ @hasselblad + @kodakprofessional #portra400 + @richardphotolab + #catherineabegg — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3pnVwFc

Dark hair and dark eyes is the most beautiful combination ever and I'll die on this hill. Btw feel free to infodump me about your headcanons tho 👀

Ikr?? I felt like I looked boring for so long, so it's nice to see the tides finally shifting lol.

Well first I obviously hc Magnus as being Armenian, but I imagine he doesn't always label himself as "Asian", but he also doesn't consider himself to be white. Both of his parents used to insist that they're white, but Magnus would be like "okay, tell that to the kids at school making fun of my lunch".

(Magnus sweating profusely when he sees "white/Caucasian" as an option on a form, and he has to hold himself back from pointing out that those terms aren't interchangeable)

I also hc Trindle as being half Korean. During her doljabi, she crawled past the items her parents laid out and grabbed a stuffed whale that was left on the floor, and her infatuation with Nathan was set in stone.

Melmord doesn't have the dark eyes + dark hair combo, but I also hc him as being a quarter Korean. Idk, he has quapa energy to me. In my headcanon, Melmord also comes from a very large culturally diverse family with lots of adopted and foster siblings.

I also hc Lavona as being east Asian but I never worked out the specifics, but fuck it, let's keep the Korean combo going. I don't know if I hc her as being Korean and German (like me!) or if she's a Korean person from Germany. But either way, yes.

I assume Amber being ambiguously SE Asian is canon, but I could be mistaken. In my hc, she's Cambodian on her mom's side and Lao on her father's side.

I don't hc the Blues Devil as being Korean, but I have drawn them in a hanbok.
