Abstract: | In Hawaii Samoans are a stigmatized ethnic group. The authors examine how this group is treated by a public housing eviction board. Statistical analysis suggests Samoans are discriminated against in financial cases. Interviews indicate, however, that Samoans are disadvantaged largely because their excuses are not persuasive and would not be regardless of the ethnicity of the tenant making them. In this sense Samoans are treated "like any other tenant". |
