Re: What does "hapa" mean?
There's a little more information here.
I'm going. Anyone wanna meet at Bubbies afterward to discuss?
Being Hapa
JCCH Fifth Floor, Lounge
Tuesday, June 7, 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.
How do you define being hapa in Hawai‘i? Does being an ethnically blended individual influence your identity? What are the positive and negative aspects growing up hapa in Hawai‘i? And finally, how do we parent our hapa children to encourage awareness, responsibility and fulfillment forming their own identities? The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i (JCCH) will raise these and other questions relating to ethnic identity in its public forum, Being Hapa. This informal discussion—the third in the JCCH’s Japanese American Social Issues Series in Hawai‘i—will focus on the Japanese American multiethnic experience in Hawai‘i. Attendees are encouraged to participate in the informal discussion. Admission is free.
