Hawaii – an Ethnically Mixed Plate
Hawaii is one of the most racially diverse places in the world as there is no majority – everyone is in a minority. In the 2000 census, more than 20 percent claimed multi-ethnic backgrounds, far more than any other state. You will find a “mixed plate” of ethnic groups in Hawaii, including Hawaiian, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Caucasian and Japanese. More than half of Hawaii’s population is at least part Asian, about the same is part Caucasian, and about a quarter claim Hawaiian ancestry.
As Hawaii has become a home to many different ethnic groups in the last 200 years, each ethnic group has added elements of its own culture to local life. Today, contemporary culture in Hawaii is a mix of the different cultures and ethnic groups that make up its unique population.
Today, there are estimated to be between 255,000 and 275,000 Native Hawaiians living in Hawaii. What can be said about the Native Hawaiian population of today is that it is growing at a rate of about 6,000 people per year and at a higher rate than any other ethnic group in Hawaii.
The majority of the Native Hawaiian people, however, have less than 50 percent pure Hawaiian blood. As of the 1990 U.S. Census, there were 1,108,229 people living in Hawaii. Of those people, 369, 616 were Caucasian, 247,486 were of Japanese descent, 168,682 were of Filipino descent, 138,742 were of Hawaiian descent and 68,804 were of Chinese descent.
Just think of Obama!!
