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. Lori Fuller
