I have been reading this thread with interest. The racial thing
gets complicated some times. My husband is an Special Ed teacher in
NY and we are thinking about relocating to Hawaii. He is also
African American. Is that haole too? I am from Spain, and our son
is mixed.
The comment about traumatized children needing therapy does not
make me very happy because I would not want to have my child
traumatized that way. Here in New York we have experienced racism
and reverse racism, I have had Black bosses who were racist towards
me and those who weren't, same as White, so it tends to balance
out. We are comfortable with our lives and I don't think my child
would be traumatized here.
I don't want to discard Hawaii, we first have to visit and feel the
Aloa and the ocean breeze and see how we fit in the area.:) Do you
have any comment about the African American or non American White
experience in Hawaii?
Your comments will be greatly apreciated.
