I am married to a Hawaiian Japanese and have been suprised at how rude some people can be. I have decided to leave this call up to my husband. The people who post on this forum are too nice and of a friendly sort I suspect maybe a representation of the best side of things, and I am sure that means that there are people in the villages who are open and accepting. When we visited people were very nice and as my husband golfed every day he had a good time. But that doesn't mean that a person who is use to be surounded by a more diverse group might not feel more comfortable not surrounded by a sea of white over the long haul. I know that when I was in the neighborhood he grew up in I sometimes felt out of place. (We lived in a more mixed neighborhood when we lived in Hawaii and he was from a very locals only one) My hubby is so easy going I decided I have to curb my natural tendancy to push for the villages and let him decide when the time comes.
If we can ever sell this house so we can retire my husband and I plan to rent for several months in different parts of the country maybe even over a two year period. Then I am going to make him pick.
