25 percent Filipino
25 percent Haole (Irish)
50 percent Argentine
100 percent LOVE

What happens when an Argentine man (born and raised in Mendoza, Argentina) and a Hapa woman (Filipino-Irish born and raised in Hawaii) make a baby girl?

Che Hapa Mama, a blog about raising a multi-cultural, multi-lingual baby in Queens, New York.

Che-A common way Argentines greet each other. Sort of like, "Dude." It's how Che Guevara got his name.

Hapa-Means "half" in Hawaiian. Hapa Haole was originally a derogatory way to refer to a half-Hawaiian, half-white person (Haole means white or foreigner). Nowadays, simply Hapa is a common way to refer to those who are of mixed race.
