Re: sending my "haole" children to Hawaii's schools
Posted by Starr on 1/10/06

    I lived on Maui in the late 70's and 80's and grew up being sent back and
    forth to the mainland. I was on Oahu in 1980 and suffered one of the worst
    racial discrimination because I was white. I grew up as an adult in the
    islands and experienced less prejudice as an adult but did suffer from local
    asian women who concentrated their focus on platinum blond islanders. I
    eventually had many friends but it took growing up there to fit in. I
    experienced severe racial harassment when I was 13 to 17 in school. I attended
    Lahaina Luna High School on Maui. I was a morman at the time which helped
    because the morman girls would protect me.. in a lot of situations. It stinks
    and whites go through it too.
