Anti-Japanese feeling in Hawaii due to economic reasons, an excuse that has been used over and over throughout history. Any immigrant group that succeeds financially through hard work and dedication (like the Jews, for example) end up having trouble with people being prejudiced against them due to their economic success. This is also a large part of what caused the Japanese Americans on the mainland to be interned since the Japanese American farmers had been extremely successful, even often using rather poor land, that the white farmers became jealous and wanted them out of there.
