Of all 50 states, none have more interracial marriages than Hawaii – almost half of the people in this state have married someone of a different ethnicity.  The result of this is a greater sense of tolerance and understanding for this group of people who live and work together, resulting a larger network of friendship, and a greater sense of harmony.  No doubt, this is one of the reasons Hawaii is such a great place to live, and a wonderful place to visit!
