How real is the rascism ?

Oh boy, I have to phrase this all carefully. My boys have been on a few soccer teams. The "meanest" team was the "non-local team". The nicest team was the "Hawaiian team". There are white people on all the teams. So, what I am trying to say, is that "local" does not mean "non-white". I prefer the locals because they love the Keiki and have stronger family values than the non-locals. Homeless people have given my kids sips of their sodas- which I know is horrifying to some, but the point is that they are trying to share. On the team, when my son was having trouble, the Hawaiian coach called me and spoke to me for a half hour. When my son had trouble on the non-local team- he was ostracized, by everyone except for a few local members. It is hard to explain. It doesnt seem to me to have anything to do with skin color. I honestly believe that the school staff here have saved my middle son's life several times over- by their continued kindness and patience. I really have no idea why the schools don't have better reputations here. They are full of caring people!
