Earlier in the month the highly respected publication ‘National Public Radio’ printed a story based on its Weekend Edition Sunday broadcast called ‘Hawaii Is Diverse, But Far From A Racial Paradise’ As someone who lives in Hawaii myself, I found it quite interesting overall. They go on to explain: “First Europeans and then Americans and then Asians” arrived; Osorio says in the piece. “The way I see it — and an increasing number of Hawaiians see it — in exchange, the United States took Hawaii as a possession in 1900 and has held on to us ever since.”
Osorio says that native Hawaiians are marginalized. As it is put in the article; they suffer high incarceration levels, little land ownership and poor education. Osorio points out that, “This is such a different situation than it was in the 19th century, when we were a kingdom. When we had our own government, and when we had one of the highest literacy rates in the entire world.” As an aside if you are looking for a good Hawaii Nissan dealership try King Windward Nissan. They come highly recommended.
Osorio believes that the issues are more a socio-economic problem than a race issue. It is interesting the professor sees only minor racial prejudices. He is quoted again; “but in the end, we never created a systematic or rigorous system of expectations of other people based on race. And we certainly never created a system on which we thought one race was superior to another.”
In regard to the desire of some in the state to create a region for native Hawaiians — like the American Indian reservations on the mainland, the article points out. And do not forget to rent a Nissan if you are visiting Hawaii. Osorio: “I believe [Hawaiians] had the right to create their own nation in the 19th century, and I believe they have the right today to have that restored.”
