Re: sending my "haole" children to Hawaii's schools
Posted by Rachel on 7/16/05

    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.

    Rachel
