Pre-writing 1 – Steve Olson

The implications of ethnic thinking that I think would be beneficial for everyone to take into account are that everyone is mixed, it doesn’t matter if your grandparents grandparents grandparents say that you are pure bread the likely hood that you are pure bread in this day in age is highly un-likely everyone is mixed with something weather it be culture are genes everyone is mixed. The other implication of ethnic thinking that everyone should take into consideration is everyone has the same skeleton, if you strip the skeleton of the flesh and organs so the only thing that’s left is the skeleton and compare the Skelton to other skeletons of different “races” and colors, the skeleton is relatively identical.

Hawaii’s high rate of intermarriage has painted the picture in our heads that in order for racial tensions to dimish everyone would need to be mixed. But in the article Steve Olson proved this to be wrong, Olson says, “Despite the high rate of intermarriage here, ethnic and racial tensions haven’t really disappeared.” Despite the amount of ethnic and racial mixing in Hawaii there is still tension, so if mixing everyone wont get rid of tensions then what will it take?
