Listening @DeepPacificPod and Temiti (meaning ocean) of Samoa/Tahiti highlighting how destructive the word hafekasi (half cast) is to a Pasifika child growing up in a world trying to find their identity. As a "full blooded" this is a blindspot.
Replying to @Manhellnaaah @DeepPacificPod
As someone who identifies as "full" Chamorro as well, this is not something I had ever really thought of because I had never been on the receiving end of this, but continuously heard invalidation from older Chamorros on "half-castes", which I don't agree with and never did.
