I grew up in Hawaii. It's a great place if you have money and lots of it. If you're poor/working-class, and white, you're in for a hard time. From being hassled by cops for ... existing ... lower grades for the same work in high school and college as non-whites, buses not stopping for you when you wait at the bus stop, and of course the random instances where quick thinking saves your life (easy to get "disappeared" into a cane field and no one will look for you).
Your race determines everything. Where you can live, what kind of job you can work, what pay you'll get, etc. There's some of this on the mainland US but it's really strong in Hawaii.
I worked very hard to get out of there. The US mainland isn't perfect, but I was immediately astounded and in the most pleasant way that I could just ... be ... and not be in danger for my appearance. I could go to the beach and hang out. I could go into any store, I could walk down the street...
So I very much feel that white South Africans should be given the most favorable status if they want to immigrate to the US. The US isn't perfect but it sounds far, far better than S. Africa.
