#hapa pride

[semperintrepida]

It’s so very strange being in a place where Asians are the majority of the population. Everything here caters to Asian folks, and I’ve been eating my way across Waikiki: spam musubi, poke, dim sum, udon, matcha... I’m still seeking real Korean food before I leave tomorrow.

I’m definitely having the classic hapa experience: back home in #oregonsowhite, all the white people think I’m Asian; out here, all the Asians think I’m white.

Auli'i did an amazing job but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed they sanitized the performance of any polynesian culture...

You know, I actually think it's really cool being half Japanese, half white.

That's all.
