I always heard it the other way (that’s not to say that I wasn’t getting a bastardized form).
The “Hapa” was your Native Hawaiian or Japanese side, and the white side was “Haole”. So I was the “Hapa-Haole” kid, or the “half-white” (the implicit assumption being that the “didn’t need to be named/assumed part” was Hawaiian or Japanese.
It gets even weirder when you involve other polynesians… I’ve got twin cousins that are 1/2 native Hawaiian, and 1/2 Samoan, and they still get called “Hapa”…
That’s a lot nicer than the "well, that’s because his parents are “FOB” that I heard about Asian people when I was younger. (for example about a friend’s mom who was born in Japan)
F.O.B. = “Fresh off the Boat”, and was usually used to reference people who had a heavy accent, the assumption being that they were recent emigrants.
I just never could stand him or his music. A friend constantly played her smiths tape whenever I was in her car, despite my objections. She may have been trying to convert me, but it only increased my loathing.
(I think smulder meant I’m smart for thinking morrissee was always a karen.)
This story doesn’t surprise me in the least. Shit, I wasn’t worried when Rob Tyner almost punched me in the face when I was a 19 yr old girl (I didn’t deserve it, but that’s a story for another day) - there’s no way I’d cry if Robert Smith made as if to playfully punch my arm!
Especially since both Final Solution and Permanent Solution are valid translations of the nazi-coined word “Endlösung”. It’s not like the (original) Nazis spoke English. “Final Solution” is just an approximation and “Permanent Solution” definitely conveys the same meaning.
While I agree, I understand UUbuntu as well. (s)he might be wrong, but it’s hard to keep up the level of ire all the time. Where I used to live this type of racist obnoxious old lady is so commonplace that it’s nearly undoable to get upset about it all the time. After a while it feels like a waste of time give any attention to them and it feels like the time (and internet ire) is maybe better spent somewhere else.
Where UUbuntu goes wrong is the assumption that ‘internet ire’ is a limited good. Nothing is more renewable than internet ire 
There’s enough of it for all racist old ladies I think.
Over here it’ an extremely normal name. And the meme starts to get imported here as well. Lot’s of unhappy girls named Karen.
South Africa now has zero tolerance for karens.
I know I have had these incidents happen to me before, but I couldn’t tell you, because what happens most of the time is that we are shook for the day, but TRY TO FORGET IT. We don’t tell anyone, we don’t have a video to remind us that it happened, we try to brush it off. Often we never even get a nice comeback at them, and they walk away with a smirk on their face.
And I do, I forget them, because I know I won’t run into them anymore. But it takes a toll. And we end up with brains that forget more things than these (pejoratively titled) microaggressions. So we have all the symptoms of PTSD without being able to point the blame at anyone.
Wait, wait, there’s more. Same Karen, same day, different place, different victim: https://twitter.com/Antirac57858015/status/1270944186506698752?s=19
Licence plate fully visible. I guess she just got doxxed. Awaiting developments …
If a woman is sexually harassed, do you say that you understand she was hurt, but she should focus on “dismantling the governmental and societal structures”? Or maybe you tell her that her issue isn’t really that big of a problem because, hey, you heard somebody got raped the other day.
If somebody is depressed and high-functioning, do you tell them that they should pick themselves up and start helping establish better mental health support in society? Or maybe you tell them that yes, your pain is unfortuante, but you know somebody who is depressed depressed and lost their family in a fire.
Maybe you should have been around when I was a child to tell me that I was just experiencing “casual expressions of ignorance” and to not feel so bad because you read that a black person was killed by cops, and that I couldn’t understand because I was Asian.
Or maybe you should consider that dismissing the power and effect of individual occurrences of racism is giving a free pass to the horde which supports and thrives in the system.
If you want allies in this fight, you can’t brush off incidents like this simply because you think that since it doesn’t involve black people, it isn’t something to be concerned about.
If I come off as being “passionate,” that’s because I am.
Yellow Peril supports Black Power, man.
Sadly, so very true. 
Moz does seem to have turned into the sort of person he hated when he was younger.
Thank you, and well done!
Samesies. You and me, we could be friends just because of this. 
Thank you! I haven’t heard, or read, for that matter, that particular quote/expression for ages, used to use it a lot myself, and seeing it used here just made me laugh! From The Fast Show, IIRC?
“The Mary Whitehouse Experience”, specifically the Two Old Men sketches.
She 100% spent her day instigating these conflicts. What a raging shitbag.
