For the record, interracial dating (asian/white) in Hawaii can be
a problem.  We got obviously terrible service in a couple of restaurants
and his parents were going to disinherit him if he married me.  
Since I am white it never occurred to me that anyone would disapprove of
my color.  It was quite a consciousness raising experience for me.
I took it very personally and was fortunate that his friends (a married
couple) explained to me that it was racial and cultural, not personal.  It turns
out that they had the same problem when they got married.  He's of 
Japanese ancestry and she's of Chinese ancestry.  The problems are different
in Hawaii but they are there.
