Palin Left Hawaii Because Of Too Many Asians: Father

In the New Yorker review of "Going Rogue," Sam Tanenhaus writes a paragraph that exposes something that should gather a lot of attention in a country where whites are becoming the minority. Apparently in her travels to various colleges, Sarah Palin's stint at the University of Hawaii was ended not by poor grades or distractions, but by too many Asian faces.

In "Going Rogue," Palin wrote of her Hawaii experience “Hawaii was a little too perfect. Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls.”

In the much less publicized "Sarah From Alaska," by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe, the authors were told something completely different by Sarah Palin's father, Chuck Heath:

According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: “They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.” In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, “because it was much like Alaska yet still ‘Outside.’ ”

The New Republic has the Palin question of the day: "Why--and readers should weigh in--has this gotten absolutely no media attention?"
