It's interesting that, when anyone talks about a group making land prices go up, the Haole gets the blame. I don't recall that attitude when the Japanese were buying property throughout the state and making the land prices go up in the earlier years. Even today, Japanese investors buy Hawaii property (although not in the percentage of the past) and no one blames them. It's always the Haole. Maybe because of the racial hatred fostered by a few that Haoles are bad people and non-Haoles are good people.
