She said that while race now appears to be important to the birthers, it was a “non-issue at Punahou school.”
Forgetting the fact that this makes no sense, it's asinine.
How exactly does her hospital “memory” contradict anything?

I lived in HI in part of the 70s and through most of the 80s. At the high schools I knew about (never knew anyone whose kids went to Punahou, too expensive), the kids hung out by racial groups. As though told to. Of course there are a lot of mixtures. But HI is in some ways a racist place, especially for haoles. Blacks are not liked a whole lot, in my experience. It may be different now. But “local people” often did not like those not similar to them.
Once I wound up with my kids at the “wrong” beach. We got out and were ready to go into the water and I felt people looking at us. We were the only white people on the beach, and the atmosphere was getting pretty thick. We tiptoed back to the car and zoomed off.
