I had a friend whose lifelong dream was to get a job in Hawaii. He worked long and hard at it. He finally, after enormous effort, was able to obtain a civil service position there. He was happily married with two very bright children in elementary school.
Within two years, he was looking for a place on the mainland, because of how badly the children were being treated in school.
He got a transfer (he, his wife, and kids are all extremely bright) and never looked back. Last I knew, he was working very productively in Alabama.
I believe it. Even new Asian immigrants, on the Islands for a very short time, who can hardly speak English, often fall right in line with the locals & start yapping about the so & so haoels’ should go home, leave the Islands, and I’m leaving out the vile language.
