Pilipinos have a mixed culture due to the hundreds of years of colonization, trade, and struggles. From the Islamic and Chinese traders in the earlier years, to the 400 years of Spanish rule, to 50+ years of American influence, Pilipinos are a diverse group of people. Following the worldwide diaspora--especially in Westernized nations--Pilipinos have developed their own identity in their new home nations. BakitWhy.com recognizes these disparate lifestyles and brings them together around community discussion of many topics and issues--one of which is being mixed or Hapa.
