Expansion

How could this legitly be an article? It only has one sentence, a table, and two pictures. If no one is going to edit it. I'm going to propose it to be deleted.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:29, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

I expanded it a bit, but I'm not making a firm judgment as to whether it should be kept. Still it sounds plausible to me as we have Puerto Rican immigration to Hawaii and Greeks in Hawaii even though both are, I think, far less significant to Hawaiian history.--T.

I don't know if I did as much as I should, but I think I did enough the proposed-deletion no longer fits. Possibly these should all be merged into some Demographics of Hawaii or History of immigration to Hawaii article or something, but that's not what we've done yet so that's another discussion.--T.

Inequalities faced by Filipinos

This page is missing some important information regarding the racialization of Filipinos in Hawaii. There is little information provided regarding how Filipinos lives were during the plantation era in Hawaii (early twentieth century) The article primarily focuses on broad time periods and events like; the Early to mid-twentieth century, to the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association, and the years after 1965. The article itself is very broad and doesn’t hone in on specific things that Filipino migrant workers experienced. I will add concrete examples of the types of racial stereotypes that emerged during this time. For example, studies and books (Temperament and Race, 1926) were written during this time to "effectively" group all Filipinos as violent and emotionally unstable. To add, the demonization of Filipino workers in Hawaii happened frequently in which they more likely to be charged for misdemeanors, murder, and more likely to receive the death penalty. Moreover, Hawaii media like the Honolulu Daily newspaper and radio would specifically target Filipino’s as the main perpetrator by highlighting their convictions on front pages. I will be using a chapter in the book "Ethnicity and Inequality in Hawaii" by Jonathan Y. Okamura titled "Filipino Americans: Model Minority or Dog Eaters?" This author is an associate professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Altogether, I am aiming to add 200-300 words to this article in a new section. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page.Erisa3434 (talk) 20:11, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
