Happa means your half asian half white, not half anything.

Here is the true origin of Hapa: it began in Hawaii (hence is actually Hawaiin) as a derogatory term against those who were only partially Hawaiin with the rest as white. Then it was used for those who were partialy Asian mixed with white. Now today, it's mainly a term used for people of mixed races, mainly Asian mixed with white/black. Hapas are also notoriously known as twinkies. Yellow/asian on the outside, white in the inside.

I'm not Hapa, but I joined the UCSD Hapa Club as a way to score some Hapa chicks back in the golden era of college.

Hey, lux.sh - I see you must be some sort of crazy early bird as it is 4:35AM from where you're hailing from! And I thought this board was dead at 7:35AM EST...

Well genetically-speaking, all our ancestors came from Africa, so I guess we're all African. Who knew?

Squawks · 02-09-2006, 10:15 PM

Our great great great ancestors are actually bacteria. So we're bacterians. Well, that's if you're not a Christian fanatic who believes in intelligent design.

icedragon · 02-09-2006, 10:17 PM

Oh btw, I did this kind of poll half a year ago.
And the result? Well, let's face it, new E90's are expensive, so the ethnicity of new E90 owners will reflect the socioeconomic status of society. In other words, you can easily figure out which ethnicities drive new E90s. I think it will be a great day when ALL ethnicities can afford new BMWs.

I was talking to another Asian e90 owner at an e90 meet and he made an interesting comment. There seem to be e90 owners of all ethnicities driving around town, but the ones attending the meets are more of the car enthusiast types from forums like these. Intuition tells me that the percentage of Asian e90 owners represented in these forums must be greater than that of the general population of e90 owners. Does this imply that Asians tend to be car enthusiast computer junkies more than other ethnic groups tend to be?

OT, but nice S2K. I'm a member of s2ki, but only a fan, never got around to buying one, picked up the E90 instead

What? No Eskimos? With the right tires, its versatility makes the E90 a perfect choice for moving across the tundra!
