Post: Re; sending my "haole" child to Hawaii schools / racism

Posted by Althea on 6/21/08

    I believe the effects of what a child goes through in a
    public school system may depend on the location of the
    school. Racism is everywhere and comes from the adults who
    past these feelings consciuosly or unconsciously onto
    their children. My children experienced racism in the
    public and private sectors here in Hawaii because they are
    a mixed breed. Unfortunately when the children who
    offended were asked if they knew the meanings to words
    they called my boys they had no clue only that they had
    heard if from an adult. I was born and raised in Hawaii
    and returned home when my children were 11, 7 and 3. My
    oldest had the worst experiences with racism and hated
    living here. My middle child learned to adapt and although
    was called names growing up never let it bother him as
    much. My youngest was never affected by being mixed,
    however when she went off to college on the mainland,
    Northern California, that is when her reality hit.
    Racism is everywhere look around, it starts with person
    pointing the finger outward.
