In literal terms, hapa means half, or part. In the past, the term was coupled with the term haole, which means Caucasian or foreigner, to categorize a person as half-white. As such, being a hapa was akin to being a [half-breed], a somewhat negative notion. However, in [contemporary] usage, hapa has taken on the meaning of anyone of mixed ethnicities, especially in Hawaii where more than [half the population] is of mixed race. On the Mainland, however, the half-breed connotation still prevails in some circles.
