wasian

“Wasian”—a portmanteau of “white” and “Asian”—is a neologism referring to people of white and Asian descent (see also #wasiancheck on TikTok).

I feel like I have the opposite problem - 99% of people think I’m fully white, and the 1% that don’t are pretty much just other wasians 😂

Some people who are aware of my Wasian-ness will occasionally subject me to obscure Wasian stereotypes: “Some Wasians are super good at math,’ or ‘Wasian people are attractive!’” I’ve heard them all.

I also personally don’t like Wasian or it never felt right to me cus it just seems more like an Asian American white-Asian person, and I also thinks it implies 50-50, which I’m not.

There is also a huge issue with Asian fetishizing Wasians and romanticizing the idea of having Wasian babies. To be fair, the fetishization of mixed race children is a huge problem across the board.
