Chairman. I should like to have a little time to touch upon a very important point. and that is with regard to the population of Hawaii and Porto Rico in connection with coffee culture. which. by the way. is the only culture that in Porto Rier and Hawaii a white man takes to. If you want to have in the Hawaiian Islands a pure white population and not Asiatic or other. develop your coffee production and bring in your Portuguese immigrants or some similar race. They will go up to those mountains and produce a great quantity of excellent coffee for consumption in the United States in the same way that we are doing and will do more and more every day in Porto Rico. and you will build up there a Caucasian population who will fight for their homes when the time comes. and not coolies. who will not fight for the sugar plants nor for their boarding houses. The third argument. Mr.
Identified stereotypes
Portuguese immigrants are presented as hard-working and willing to fight for their homes, unlike 'coolies'.
