I 5 '9 """III"!- yM I I vM I I k HONOLULU (UPI) The Lees are a fine old family in Hawaii; there are 12 columns of them in the Honolulu phone directory, but only a half doz en of them ever saw Virginia. There is a whole column of Parks, too, but they are most ly the Paks of Korea who pa triotically put an "R" in their name when they became Americans. Of course, there are the Smiths, the Joneses, the El liotts and the Duncans just like in any other American phone directory, but they are a tiny .minority compared to the Akanas, the Changs, the Dois, the Fujimotos, the Ko bashigawas, the Sumidas and the Yamashitas. The old saying in Hawaii is that it is the only place in the United States where the ma jority is in the miniority, that is if you consider the majority of Americans to be white, blue-eyed and Anglo-Saxon. How do you get along? Are there any racial problems, and discrimination, or is it all togetherness? Certainly there are prob lems. Many of the Okinawans still feel the Japanese-Americans discriminate against them. The Filipinos still have a lower social and economic standing than the Chinese, and the Hawaiians are so class conscious that they have their own private school one of the richest in Hawaii that is limited to those who have mostly Hawaiian blood in their veins. PRICES CHANGE Hawaii is a chain of islands, and like islanders the world over, the Hawaiians have a distrust of "mainlanders." And the discrimination here is not among the various races, but is the discrimination cf the islanders against the main landers. They even have dif ferent rate structures in ho telscheaper, naturally, for the Kamainas, or locals re gardless of whether he is black, white, brown or yellow. Love, or sex, if you prefer, was the catalytic agent that produced Hawaii's toge therness. Everybody is so mixed up with everybody else's blood that to discrimi nate against-any one ethnic group would be to snub some of your relatives. A man nam ed Vernon S. W. Hiu might have a Chinese father, a Ha waiian mother, and a Cauca sion grandfather. It was not always together ness in Hawaii. Even in the pre-World-War II days no Ori entals were allowed to own homes in the exclusive Kahala area, and things were mostly run by the big factoring com panies which were white own ed, white managed and white dominated. Harry Bridges and the In ternational Longshore men's and Warehousemen's Union changed all that. It took long and costly strikes in shipping and sugar to equa lize things, but it proved to the Hawaiian masses that bloc voting and togetherness brought equality, and no other state in the union has a high er percentage of voters on election dav. Another important factor in Hawaii's togetherness is pride. Each Oriental, Hawaiian o r European group here has a heritage that goes back hun dreds of years, particulary the Asians. And the proudest of these are the Hawaiians. A man with seven-eighths Caucasian blood and one eigh th Hawaiian is prouder of his fractional Hawaiian than his predominantly white back ground. He knows the old traditions, he tells you how his ancestors navigated the wide sweeps of the Pacific before Columbus was ever heard of, and he has his royal family and kings and queens whose lineage g o e s back hundreds of years. The largest racial majority are the AJAs Americans of Japanese Ancestry' who haven't kept their blood lines any purer than the Chinese, the Hawaiians or the Caucasi ans. The AJAs came into their own in the early 1940s, but. they paid a high price in blood and suffering for the position of prominence they now hold. The all-Nisei 100th Battalion and later the 442 Regimental Combat team col lected more battle honors and more casualties than any other unit in World War II. This pride of accomplish ment, whether it came to the AJAs on the battlefield, the Hawaiians from their history, or :the Chinese from their wealth, is the thing that has done much to weld the peoples of Hawaii together, and it is difficult to Ixd one resident who doesn't have some blood of some nationality flowing through'. his; veins which makes him proud. AMERICANS FIRST But the biggest pride is in being an American. In Hawaii it is more of a sacred obliga--tion than an accepted birth right, perhaps because, of the peonage of the masses of peo ple who came here first from the muddy rice paddies of Asia. Nowhere in America did the first settlers have a greater contrast than coming from the strict caste societies of Asia to the relaxed Polyne sian society. And today habit has become the most important part of Hawaii's togetherness. Every body has been living together so long and without friction that it has become a way of life. No other way is known to the islanders. To the younger generation it has always been this way; they know Of nothing different, and it some times comes as a great shock on .their first - visits to the Mainland to find that things are not the way they are at home. The Hawaiians and in this case everyone living in Ha waii are bewildered by the racial chaos, the problems of segregation,,, the demonstra tions, the riots and the hatred on "mainland U. S. A." (One Hawaiian, reading of the trou bles m Chicago, turned to a haole (Caucasion) and in all seriousness said: "You know, Bruddah, I don't think those people are ready for us yet." "WHYFO YOU WORRY?" International politics has never particularly bothered the people of Hawaii because of their isolated position. Now, however, the improved com munications have- brought them closer in touch with the world, but they are still pro vincial and follow a "my country right or wrong" philosophy and let Washing . ton worry abot the internation al problems. Few people can get more excited about local issues or care less about for eign ones. There are just as many different ideas on Vietnam as there are in any state in the union, but more people i n Hawaii have been affected by the war than probably any other state. They are closer to it geographically. The wounded come home to . .Hawaii first; the rest and re cuperation flights land here weekly, and the casualties suf fered by Hawaiian, service men are proportionately high t er than any other state, pri-. marily because so many Ar ; , my and Marine units wer ey , based here before going to .
