 The Rafu Shimpo - L.A. Japanese Daily News
The term Hapa is a Hawaiian word meaning “half” or “portion.” Used in the phrase Hapa haole, it originally referred to people who were half Hawaiian and half Caucasian—usually in a derogatory way implying impurity.
Over time, its pejorative connotation diminished and the word Hapa came to be used both in Hawaii and on the continent as an identifier for multiracial people of partial Asian/Pacific Islander ancestry.
Now used as a term of pride by an ever-expanding hapa community, it fills a void intrinsic to a country that does not readily recognize multiraciality.

According to Hapa Grill manager Craig Peet, “hapa” is Hawaiian slang for “half and half.” Gene Kwon sometimes uses the word to characterize his kids, offspring of a Korean father and an Italian mother.

Hapa also sports a traditional sushi bar in the rear of the restaurant, where sushi artists like Okinawa-born Kazu work their magic.
