"Diverse racial coexistence is insufficient to solve problems of racism. Multiracial mobilization by civil society along simultaneous multi-issue dimensions is the roadway."

Based on the operationalization, Haas (2022) used a mixed method approach to argue that Hawai’i achieved high levels of racial harmony on the five pathways of cultural, political, economic, environmental, and institutional.
