The immigration were Chinese first so they made a Chinese camp, Portuguese next so the Portuguese had their camp, and the Japanese next. The plantation owners made the immigrants feel at home with their own little communities where they could practice their own religion and social lifestyle. This made for a happy communities which were much more productive. Oh, And the graveyards were based on religion not ethnicity. Later as time passed and the second generation of immigrants spoke English the camps were co mingled. Hats off to the Japanese who want to preserve their culture in Kauai with their Bon Dance and AJA.

AJA baseball (which uses county fields) was set up because plantations didn't want the Japanese playing with the Chinese or Hawaiians or haoles. It's why there were different camps and different graveyards -- to keep them separate. On the mainland, it was called segregation and ended in the 50's. It's hilarious that people call it "cultural" when it was set up by a bunch of haoles trying to make sure there weren't any riots. Only in Hawaii can you get away with that shibai.

That's about how long he's been complaining. It's no different than Kamehameha School. The Kanaka and other local ethnicities have no desire to play AJA baseball. People on Kauai respect the individual cultures and wish each the best. Out of island residents though have a hard time grasping this diverse culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-78002916942495752662014-05-05T13:44:51.470-10:002014-05-05T13:44:51.470-10:00Speaking of change, Joan.
