20. A thing I have often heard

That Japanese families who mixed with Native Hawaiians were never sent to Internment camps, because at the time, Hawaii was still run by Hawaiians. While Some Japanese families in Hawaii did go to such camps even in Hawaii, mixed Hawaiian Native families did not. If you are occupying an island like Hawaii, you don't piss off the natives, by throwing their family in internment camps even if they are part Japanese. My ancestors never went because they were mixed with Native Hawaiians. They may have been questioned by the US Military but never interned.

In beauty it is done. RapSoDee Aug 2016 #1
