Makai means “ocean side”. Hmm...maybe I can ask someone I know there. There must be freepers on Oahu who can dig this up.
British East Africa - so that would have been the name of the country at that time, meaning “African” might be what someone (whoever made the decision) would put down?
I don't know: but having thoroughly read this thread, it seems they say Zanzibar.
Some people don't want to just repeat their answers again; like for race, because Hawaii has a lot of Japanese and I take Polynesians (Hawaiins?) , other Asians they allowed for people to state their race/nationality. This was gone over earlier in the thread. I never knew Kenya was called Zanzibar. Let's see, an inhabitant of Zanzibar would be a?? Zanzibaran? Zanzibarbarian, I think was a pun made.
And I think Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the light" has a line in it going something like "Zanzibar Shooting Star riding in a side car..."
