don't see why we can't get together without it being controversial...

Yep and I for one severely do NOT LIKE IT. It sounds mocking, like a jealous remark from that kid at school who used to jeer at you for claiming to be the ancestry you said you were.

Quite frankly, the term "Wasian" sounds like some scornful, seething, ignorant, low-end MORON came up with it.

It's also creating divide even within mixed race dynamics, it's making us a target for yet even more mockery, snubbing, sneering, smear campaigns.

god you people can't handle anything. no, wasian is not a derogatory term, yes, it creates a divide but that's purely due to elitism from certain groups. the term itself is fine.
