Pearl Harbor/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Where were all the Hawaiian people? You'd think there would have been some around in Hawaii and all.
    • Semi-justified in that most of the scenes in Hawaii are set on military installations, and there were few Hawaiians in the military before statehood.
    • There's a similar problem about the relative absence of Japanese-Americans. Hawaii's population was nearly evenly split between native Hawaiians, Whites, and Japanese at this time. As with the Hawaiians, there would have been few to no Japanese in military installations, but there are many scenes in civilian areas before the attack.
