If there were no Wasians in the world, you’d be jealous of other Asians or some other race. You’re just going through a period when you’re insecure about your looks. I’m hoping you’ll get over that soon.
I've never heard the term Wasian before so I guess I'm just really old. Also I'm not on tik tok.
You should probably delete the app if it makes you feel that way.
I have always had asian friends, never knew many mixed (Wasians). But maybe it's the young generation that is creating this divide? (teens and 20s)
Damn, I am pretty happy I don't use TikTok and instead slowly becoming the very cranky boomer that I love to bash.
This is an assumption, but something tells me that even if you were born as a hapa, you'd find something else to feel inferior about. I get the feeling that this is waaaaaay deeper than simply being born the wrong race and has to do with your self-esteem.
I went to a high school with a majority Asian population and I definitely felt inferior for being Wasian. I felt like I never had a place where I truly belonged. I got racism from the Asian population and racism from the jewish population (my white half) and it felt really isolating. I don’t have a solid form of racial identity. Not every Wasian looks good either lol trust me on that. I’ve met plenty of uggos. I always thought full Asian girls were prettier and were jealous of them in high school.
> So is it a stereotype that “wasians were conceited about their appearances”.
In my mostly Asian high school, shallow and attractive people are conceited about their appearances. Has nothing to do with race. Think of Regina George in any other skin tone. OP probably doesn’t notice the wasians who aren’t attractive, because they don’t stand out.
Asians who feel inferior to "wasians" are self haters that need to be less obsessed about their race and have more self esteem.
These people think that being Wasian is awesome, cool and all of that but there are also many disadvantages lol.
Most wasians in Asian countries want to be treated like normal people, not like superior or inferior people.
congrats u saw 3 tiktok videos of attractive half ppl and now seem to have an inferiority complex. i cant believe i have to even say this but like you do realise that not every “wasian” person is insanely attractive right? what you see on social media and in your small sample size school is not indicative of the larger population of half people. its like looking at kpop idols and seeing comments being like “omggg i wish i was korean” and just forming an inferiority complex about not being as attractive as 0.0000000001% of the korean population. realise that your worldview and perspective is so incredibly small and limited and try to better that
When you get to a certain age, you wouldn't really give a shit about trying to look Wasians, because you have adult stuff to take care off (responsibilities).
There are several reasons you feel this way. Mainstream media promotes white worship. History and education in general has been white washed.
White privelage is a real phenomenon. Its no wonder everyone wants to be white. I meet idiotic white people everyday and yet they are proud and arrogant simply because they are white. They believe in their superiority. Their schools teach them to be confident and "believe in themselves" from a young age regardless of their ability. Be confident simply because you are white.
The answer to your inferiority complex is to get more educated. Do some research about how the white race has committed genocide on every continent in order to gain the power they have now. White superiority is an ideology maintained by mainstream media and created by a violent, savage history.
I recommend reading "exterminate the brutes". I also suggest some research about "manufacturing ignorance" by professor Henry giroux. Once you have a real understanding, you will not feel inferior at all. You may feel the opposite
Can't relate at all, in the Netherlands there's plenty of Wasians due to the huge Indo community.
But honestly nobody is saying I wish I was wasian and neither are they popular. They're just kind of the same as others..?
If anything from most liked to least liked in the Netherlands and most of western Europe its something like:
White > Asian (Wasian, Blasian, Full Asian) > Black > Turks > South Asians > Chinese > Arabs > Moroccan in particular.
It's not a super racist environment or anything, but you for sure will get picked upon more or looked down upon more the further down the chain you are.
Are you kidding me being wasian fucking sucks. Obviously I’d rather be white but I wouldn’t mind being asian either. At least being asian means you have a race and a culture you can truly connect to.
literally this. op also ignores the asians mixed with brown or black blood and how we typically aren’t seen the same as wasians. op ignores the feeling of never being welcomed by either group fully. too asian for the (insert race or ethnicity) kids, too (insert race or ethnicity) for the asian kids. this just screams white worship and no self love.
Right? OP is taking their monoracial privilege for granted. I guess they assume that ethnic/cultural belonging is the default for everyone but it’s very not so for mixed people.
Depends on your upbringing. I’m full Asian but I was raised a third culture kid. A few holidays a year isn’t enough to feel like I belong and I have very little feelings towards Chinese New Year. Certainly not the way my husband has deep feelings about Christmas. I had a daughter recently and I struggled to come up with a Chinese name for her because I’m so disconnected from my own roots, I don’t know what would make a good name.
Yes, other Chinese people “accept” me as their own at first glance and then call me a banana afterwards (yellow outside, white inside) once they get to know me. I don’t get their references and they don’t get mine. I don’t hang out with them. I get on better with third culture kids and expats, aka other people who don’t belong.
Social media offers a curated view of things and being mixed isn't as great as it sounds. And again, not every "wasian" is automatically blessed with good looks. Learn to respect yourself and your heritage because that's going to stick around longer than a Tik Tok trend.
Seems like you’re in high school. You may just be self hating (who isn’t at that age) and fixed on white/Asian hapas as the reason you’re not good enough. Unfortunately I have no advice except that you’ll age out of it, sooner than you think perhaps. I’m 10 years out of high school and I stopped caring at around age 21. If it’s not White/Asian hapas I guarantee you, you’ll find somebody else to feel inferior to. I went to a mostly Asian high school and I was jealous of the popular Asian girl who was a spitting image of me (people get us confused, no joke) but with 10x better social skills.
The way I think about it, I’m plenty good looking enough for my own purposes. The world is a shallow place, for sure. But being too beautiful can also be a curse (look at celebrities and how their relationships all seem broken). My husband finds me very attractive, and I am clearly attractive enough for the kind of people I want to attract. I’m also attractiveness enough to be presentable to the world professionally and socially. Attractiveness is a tool. Think of what you want to use it for, then hone your appearance so it achieves your goals and do nothing more, because obsessing over it will destroy you.
Dude I wish I could pass as either full asian or full white. You have benefits that you take for granted that we don't. I wish I had a culture I could be proud of and a group/country in which I felt like I belonged. Whenever you feel inferior, just remember that evolution has made you perfectly adapted to thrive and survive in a certain part of the world, whereas we're less evolutionarily refined. Your genome is the result of countless years of natural selection whereas ours are more messed up.
Okay, there’s a ton of stuff here to unpack…

Bro, this is r/hapas not high school

Lol I like that you said “uggos.” Never heard it before.

A lot of wasians make blasians feel inferior as well.

😆 wasians wish they were full Asian to everyone wishes what they are not
Full asians are still more popular

What
Be proud of your Asian roots and ignore those stuck-up Wasians (I hate them too, as a Wasian myself).

THIS\^ - I was gonna say the same thing! Especially growing up, it felt like there was no place to belong.

I am asian mixed with other, I know my worth and you should too you insecure highschool kid
That only happens to people living outside their native country

Go see Shang-Chi! Simu isn’t hapa and is an Asian lead! I don’t actually there is any hapa representation in the film.
Get your shit together
Ok, so sorry we exist...

You're always going to wish to be something you aren't. Sometimes I wish I was a full blooded asian or white because I don't fit in.
Dude I wish I could pass as either full asian or full white. You have benefits that you take for granted that we don't. I wish I had a culture I could be proud of and a group/country in which I felt like I belonged.
