MacCaughey: Race Mixture in Hawaii

2. Xo Portuguese men married full- 

 blooded Oriental women (Chinese, Jap- 

 anese, Koreans). Only 2 married Fil- 

 ipinos, whereas 58 Portuguese women 

 married Filipinos; 19 Portuguese men 

 married part-Oriental women. 



3. Of the total marriages, both men 

 and women, 174 were with mates of 

 Polynesian or mixed Polynesian stock; 

 259 were with mates of American or 

 North European stock ; 67 were with 

 mates of South European stock (aside 

 from Portuguese). 



4. Among the other significant fig- 

 ures, from the standpoint of race-ming- 

 ling, are these : 194 Portuguese women 

 were married by Americans, 58 by Fil- 

 ipinos. 28 by Orientals. 24 by Porto 

 Ricans. 63 by Hawaiians or part- 

 Hawaiians. 



5. An appreciable percentage of 

 Hawaii's population is more or less in- 

 fused with Portuguese blood, as wit- 

 nessed by the marriages of full-blooded 

 Portuguese men and women with mates 

 r f mixed Portuguese blood.

These tables testify to a remarkable 

 breaking-down of "race barriers" in 

 Hawaii. The intermarrying of the 

 Portuguese with other peoples in Hawaii 

 is only exceeded by the Hawaiians and 

 the Americans. It is unfortunate that 

 we do not possess detailed accurate 

 eugenic data concerning the progeny of 

 these unions. 



THE SPANISH 



The Spanish in Hawaii are very much 

 like the Portuguese in character, intel- 

 lect, economic and social status. There 

 are only about 3,000 Spanish, many of 

 the original immigrants having "gone to 

 the coast." Practically all were im- 

 ported originally to furnish cheap field 

 labor for the sugar plantations. The 

 Spanish school population has decreased 

 in recent years ; it comprises less than 

 2% of the total school enrollment.
