About this submission

This piece is a comedy about the frustrations of a Hawaiian Kid whos crush doesn't like him back. My inspiration for this was in Hawaiian culture and how growing up I was encouraged by my parents to "keep the bloodline strong" and specifically "marry Hawaiian". Seeing so many Hawaiian/local women in my community falling for Haole's (Caucasians) who are in the military or well to do made it a frustrating quest for me. In return, the irony of it was my secret likings for white girls.
