Monday, April 9th, 2007
8:00PM-9:30PM

Summary:

adj. 1. Slang. of mixed racial heritage with partial roots in Asian
and/or Pacific Islander ancestry.
n. 2. Slang. a person of such ancestry.

Is there a set "Hapa identity"?
How has the media dealt with the Hapa identity?
What are unique Hapa issues? Are they the same as Asian American issues?
How do we build a greater, cohesive community of Hapas?

Please join us for a discussion about the Hapa identity and the issues
that face Hapas.
