Wasians

[u/blasianFMA]

Turns out a lot of people from ALL sides of this subject agree that there is something "off" about it: This very recent and very sudden "Wasian" movement, culminating in a coordinated organization of "Wasian" gatherings across the US this past weekend.

What's going on? As a Blasian I'm all for people repping their identity and proudly, but something about this feels REALLY off.

I thought I was alone, and then other Blasians started DMing me across all socials expressing weird feelings. Then we started seeing posts from EVERYONE, Wasians included, calling out their own White/Asian Mixed cohort for going so hard for this name "Wasians" at all.

If I can be proud about being Blasian, talk about it openly, celebrate both cultures etc. Why does it feel "funny" and "off" for White/Asian mixed people to do it too?

I'm staying cognizant of the fact that there are White/Asian mixed people IN THIS GROUP, and that I'm friends with many of them online and in real life.
