Ethnic Relations in Hawaii - Revisited


A while back, I wrote on this blog about the local media not doing enough to expose the ethnic tensions between Polynesians, Micronesians and Asian immigrants.

Well, the Honolulu Advertiser had a story about a program that is attempting being Polynesians and Micronesians together. This was partly in reaction to a fight in Mayor Wright's Housing (MWH) last year between Micronesians and Polynesians

Now ministers from the Micronesian and Polynesian community are trying to get the kids to learn about the culture.

In the end of the mentioned article, it mentions that a few Vietnamese kids are getting involved in the cultural exchanges.

I congratulate Honolulu Advertiser for sheddding some light.
