"Half-Asian" is soooo politically incorrect! When did you guys/gals leave the west? 40 years ago??

Try "ethnically-mixed child," or "child of two cultures," "dual-culture child," or "dual-ethnic child" or "mixed-race child." But "half-Asian?" Sounds like they're missing something--at least half! If you're a breeder, you need to get with the program! :)

What is the Thai version then Top? Half Thai?

The Thai version is "LUET KREUNG" or "half-blood." Arghhhhhh! :)

(Thai version also begs the question--what's the other half? Beer Chang?)

My wife says the correct way to call a 50/50 child is 'Luk Kreung'. She says no one calls a child "Luet Kreung". I have to agree with her as we have 3 children and I have never heard this said also.

I agree, and believe the word 'Wasian' should be used instead.

Is your wife THAI?? Then, of course, I defer to her native tongue. (Albeit a native Thai speaker was my source of info. as well). However, we still have to deal with the politically incorrect "kreung" (half).

Guess I'll have to ask her to turn her mobile off in a few years time. Anyone wants to join the queue? :)

Wow! Great thread. What cute, lovely adorable children, and so many of them! When my brother and I were that sort of age it wasn't so common to be Eurasian, and we were (well loved) freaks. This brings back so many memories of hundreds and hundreds of photos of us as children. My dad liked his camera. Even to this day a generation on, we're dead easy to spot in every single one of them. We were the ones with too-light hair amongst Thai playmates, and too-dark hair amongst western cousins. Despite the several decades time shift, looking though this thread makes me feel quite ... well ... normal! Thank you.
