Chinese-Hawaiian families were formed in the main after 1852, when large numbers of Chinese coolies, at the expiration of the contract period, left the plantations to engage in independent enterprises.

With large immigrations of other racial and cultural groups, the Chinese rose in economic and political position, while the Hawaiian culture became increasingly disintegrated and the Hawaiian group more and more disorganized. Intermarriage between pure Chinese and pure Hawaiians became relatively infrequent. A modification of the bi-racial pattern has also come about throught the Americanization of Hawaii.
