Hawaii would be happy not to be part of the United States. They didn’t want it in the first place and after living there for a few years you can see why. We have done everything to wipe out their cultures and traditions and shove our religion down their throats which is amazing when you consider why people fled to America in the first place. We stopped them from practicing their arts unless it was done in a hotel for the benefit of tourists. I met some very interesting people willing to tell me their stories. I wish I would have gone out everyday and written them down. It’s the first place I really experienced prejudice for being white. In even Korea they did not feel this way. I don’t blame them.

One thing I learned while in Hawaii is the second class citizenship that native Hawaiians live. It is appalling.
