We need to meet the specific needs of the minority subgroups as applicable in the State of Hawaii. Most of the citizens of the four minority subgroups speak English. However since the 1965 amendments to the Immigration Act. a large number of immigrants of Filipino and Korean ancestry in particular have come to Hawaii. many of whom are now iew citizens entitled to vote. but who do not. Because of their relative short stay in the country. obviously their ability to read. write. and comprehend English is not as good as those who have been here for many years. I support coverage of these persons who could benefit by a program of bilingual education regarding voting.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants who have been in the country for a short time have difficulty reading, writing, and comprehending English.
