Note that the term is most common for people of East Asian backgrounds! And, at least from my experience in HK, the term is also used for Asian people (mixed or otherwise) who grew up in Western culture.
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.
Westernised Asian, mostly used to describe mixed people (East Asian and European), but I have also heard it being used to describe Asians (mixed or otherwise) who grew up in a western culture (at least it’s common in Hong Kong).
It’s sometimes used for people who are proud of their heritage / background, but it is unfortunately also often used in a negative sense by bad people.
I am not too big of a fan of the term, it’s a bit silly and too generalised. Somebody who is part Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. will all have different cultures, experiences, and traditions! It also doesn’t help that it’s another term that generalises “Asians” as specifically meaning just East Asian people. However, some people are perfectly fine with the term, and that’s ok too!
What is wasian?
Wikipedia says it’s a word for people of mixed white and Asian descent.

There is also blasian, same idea…
I feel its mostly used by people that are either racist or fetishize certain ethnicities.
Is there a Whack?
Or Blite? Sounds too close to “blight” though.
Not everything is a slur
Rich coming from a muggle
Whoa buddy yer mom was a muggle!
(And a very nice lady)
Wasians themselves often use this term as well. It’s just a shorthand.
