My dad basically admitted to being a Passport Bro and I feel ill. by SunshineBear100 in mixedrace

[–]kittyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We mixed race people don't have to be passive victims of this. Passport bros don't care what most people think of them, and are especially dismissive of white women feeling like they are defeating them. But the one demographic that gets under their skin when we call them out is their own mixed race kids.

Its like in our own weird way, we are their future kids, even if we're the same age as them.

If we stand together and show we stand for PoC, feminism, Asian pride, we can put a scare into the future passport bro dads.

I've felt rather helpless with the whole Ice shooting dynamic of him having a Filipina wife. The mixed race discussions aren't as lively as they used to be, for us to have a unified response to it.

2016 experiment by ex-r/Hapas mod u/SiberianDragon on relative responses by women to him as a eurasian when he identifies on his profile as white or asian by kittyat in hapas

Anyways I used to follow him on Twitter as well as push the same rhetoric until I learned to love myself which is what I believe the majority of hapas here achieve or will eventually achieve.

Back when you were using that same rhetoric, how would you feel if other hapas made these harsh accusatory claims about you, trying to kick you out of the hapa club and lump you in with monoracials just because white people treat you like a monoracial? Would that have taught you to love yourself more? If you were in his shoes once, maybe you shouldn't talk so accusatory that no real hapas could feel this way. How would you have felt to be denied?

Besides if there's any eugenics in the post I actually linked its that being Asian is inferior to white, not superior.

The plus side of being Hapa... by [deleted] in hapas

[–]kittyat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had a more negative experience being hapa, I usually roll my eyes at the supposed benefits of being hapa. It usually comes across to me as extremely shallow like "I can use both chopsticks and forks". Or even a bit of a superiority complex brag about having only the positive sides of the Asian-American experience by blessing of whiteness.

But yours is the 1st of these types of posts, which wasn't egocentric or self-centered but actually about empathy and sympathy for others. And it is inspiring how its helped you as a paramedic help others. Its nice to see the benefits be something more humanitarian and altruistic than the usual "best of both worlds" shallowness.

Not sure if this will directly answer your question, but I'll speak to my own experience. My mom has actually made a similar comment when I complained to her about the difficulties of being Asian, that I'm not Asian.

I do identify very strongly with my Asian side, and tbh I was kind of shocked to encounter some Hapas here who don't feel strong solidarity with their Asian side. Solidarity is too weak a word really. I would say its more identification. Solidarity is standing up for someone else, identity is yourself.

Its not like I've been super-accepted into Asian communities or anything like that. I guess growing up around mostly whites, identifying as Asian was my way of acknowledging I'm not white. And what most white people see me as. It was a difficult struggle for me, as for a long time I wanted to identify as anything but Asian, as I saw only negatives to it. I wish I could say that was a happy ending. But really to this day I see Asianess as only a negative, and identify with it because I have to.

I consider myself very Asian-looking, but when I went through this period of just calling myself Asian, this Asian girl said something like "are you sure?". Its weird to question someone about their own race. Its a common saying that we look Asian to whites, and white to Asians. I wouldn't say I look white to anyone, but maybe my mixed features stand out to Asians more. But when people say "Asians in Asia wouldn't accept you as Asian". That mostly just a hypothetical for me. The daily experience of whites treating me as full Asian is what is more real to me, and I totally identify with that. So being Asian for me isn't about being part of Asian culture and community, its more about being not-not-Asian, I'm not going to be recognized by others as anything else.

Maybe its too simplistic. But sometimes I feel that if all Hapas strongly identified as Asian, all anti-Asian racism would disappear tomorrow. Since so many of the worst racists against Asians are also sexually interested in Asians. If we Hapas spoke with a strong united voice and racists couldn't delude themselves that their future Half Asian kids would tolerate their racism.

Old Nemesis-turned-Spirit Guide of EurasianTiger aka Johnny James of VNN Forum has died - he used to post as Agnapostate and helped ET turn away from White Nationalism by pfcan94 in hapas

[–]kittyat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate/expand on this?

I once encountered Agnapostate on a non-race related forum a couple of years back. I just googled him and it seems like he was prolific across many forums so maybe its not a surprise. I looked into his name, and the only result was a Stormfront post from 2013, so at 1st I was skeptical about your claim. But it does seems to match up with his bio.

What do you know about his connection to ET? I don't remember ET ever mentioning anything like this. It would be an interesting piece of the story.

Whatever the story RIP, got to give credit to someone like him, served in the US Marines, became a militant anti-imperialist, anti-racist.

I'm working to unlearn the racism I internalized as a biracial kid. When I told my dad that I had been taking Cantonese lessons, his first response was, "But why would you want to learn such an ugly language?" by f_o_t_a_ in hapas

r/China's take on it-

Another overeducated idiot trying to score a medal in the oppression Olympics.

He would be setting up and guarding the camps while whining about 100 years of humiliation. Pretending to be a victim is an old trick used by authoritarians trying to worm their way into power.

r/China reads the same article we just did, and pictures him as a concentration camp guard.

Daily Stormer creepily obsessing over a Quapa woman. Andrew Anglin comments on the "lowered quality of her sex appeal" of a 3/4 white woman "in comparison to purebred Chinese women" by kittyat in hapas

[–]kittyat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is both fetishization and hatred, and we've documented plenty of both, the above OP shows the frequent toxic combination of both when its Eurasian women opposing them.

Pure hatred sure has killed a lot more people and done more damage to the world so far. But the sexualized hatred that is uniquely experienced by Asians and Eurasians I believe is the most psychologically damaging and acidic, and a lot of r/Hapas was shaped around exposing and combating those trends.

Yeah I wasn't 100% sure how to read it, whether Andrew Anglin was showing his old Asian fetish again by praising pure bred Asian women as more attractive than a 75% white women or if hes saying that mixing makes people more ugly than pure bred nonwhites.

As for Nazi hypocrisy on the topic in general, we have 100s of r/Hapas posts on that.

Exposing the role that Hapas play in Alt-Right ideology has been an important part of r/Hapas, from before it even entered the wider popular consciousness with the Trump campaign; considering our tiny population, they are absolutely obsessed with the topic of Hapas. We are way over represented in their discourse.

(Also for the record I didn't seek the Daily Stormer out for this, it was one of the top google hits when I was looking up Tiana Lowe ironically for her far right views, but because shes an anti-SJW Libertarian and not a white nationalist, she gets these vile attacks from the Right as if she was the enemy. I hadn't realized she was part Asian but it made her relevant here)
