Wasians themselves often use this term as well. It's just a shorthand.

Not that i would equate the two, but we should all be aware of how meaningless "they use it themselves" is from the n-word. Every time i hear a white guy say "blasian" anywhere on social media its when they talk about how hot a woman is and how its "the best mix". I know its also used completely innocently, but thats just what my experience with hearing it is.

I think youre just looking at too much porn online. Go to a city like Vancouver where like 30% of the population is wasain and you’ll see people use the term descriptively all the time and it’s not a slur.

I'll lyk if anyone ever punches me in the face for using the word wasian or blasian around them.
