I found that many on the islands....were much more interested in skin color. Didn't matter if you were Mexican, American Indian, Japanese, whatever....just as long as you were darker skinned. You were in.
I had relatives live on Maui...for many, many years. They said, they would NEVER totally fit in.
Oh, they had friends that were "native" brown folks...but when push came to shove...they knew they could not count on those "friends". Period.
That said....there are racists everywhere. And they just aren't white. Not by any normal thinking.
I'm part American Indian....and some of the most racist folks I've seen are American Indian. It's sad..........
