Hawai'i is considered the "Melting Pot" which means that everybody gets along with everybody else...most of the time.
I realize that there has always been underlying conflict between races in Hawai'i, but rarely does it get to this point. Sad to see that the kids at Radford have to resort to violence. Where do their misperceptions about people come from? The kids' parents? Their friends? The community?
Being a teenager is a pretty dicey time anyway. All kinds of temptations surround you (drugs, alcohol, smoking), and peer pressure (wanting to belong to a group) just makes things worse.
