Interesting, as you don't see minorities charged let alone convicted for this kind of stuff. (ETA) I knew the natives don't really like the haoles(sp) but didn't know it got violent like this. |

| Our last night in Maui this spring we were in Whalers Village in Kaanapali eating dinner. A group of local's in their early 20's came through drunk talking shit and really singled out a dad there with his family. Nothing happened and there were plenty of tourists ready to jump in with the dad but it was ugly for a few min. |
| Buddy was in Kuai for work (movie sets). Some of the dudes in his union were from there and the amount of sheer hate they have for "outsiders" is mind blowing. Another example is a good friend/ex coworker who's baby daddy is Samoan with family on the Big Island. She told me people, white people specifically, would get their new homes burglarized AND vandalized if they left it unattended. |

Quoted: Do Hawaiians view Hispanics with the same contempt? Not sure Hawaiians specifically view white people with contempt, but it’s a bunch of islands with island mentality, so they generally view all outsiders with contempt. There are a lot of white people from Hawaii who know the local shibboleths and do just fine. For sure, they’re a lot less surly with swarthy (non-black) folk because they can’t quite be sure you don’t belong there. |
| We vacationed with our kids for a month in Hawaii in 2019. Had a great time and planning to go back in 2023. That said outside of the resort where they are paid to be nice you can tell some (not all) of the locals don’t want you there. Never felt in danger, but we don’t go out late or to sketchy areas where drunken packs of locals might be. |

Quoted: PR yes, Hawaii hell no. Wanna give the Chinese an advance base close to U.S.? Fuck that shit. Quoted: Quoted: Hawaii is Pacific Puerto Rico. We should divest ourselves of both. PR yes, Hawaii hell no. Wanna give the Chinese an advance base close to U.S.? Fuck that shit. Hell at times I felt like we were in China. Surrounded by Chinese. |

Quoted: I was squadded with a Marine at Camp Perry who was telling me how he had been reassigned to Quantico from Hawaii. I was like " Damn, that sucks" and "I'll bet Hawaii was great". He said he was glad because it wasn't a good place to be white. I never met a single Soldier who said “I really loved Hawaii.” But, everyone I talked to loved Alaska if they were there. |

He said he was glad because it wasn't a good place to be white. I was stationed on Oahu for 2 years and had zero issues. I'm about as white hillbilly as they come. Marines seem to find trouble regardless of where they are, just saying. |

Quoted: Most "native Hawaiians" are actually Samoan or Tongan. It is more Tahtian bloodline and cultural that founded the Hawaiian Islands than Samoan or Tongan. The Samoans, Tongans, and Maoris our kissing cousins. There is still mistrust between the locals and mainlanders. We don't like entitled people and you guys think we are savages. |

I bet even Native Hawaiian's run in fear from you. |

I’ve experienced nothing but aloha both when working on and vacationing on the islands. I’ve been to all but a few and explored pretty extensively, and was welcomed with open arms in all but one sketchy bar (that I was warned not to go into) in Honolulu, and deep in the volcano torn region of Big Island. I’m white as shit. What are you guys all doing to piss off the locals? Take it easy, respect their culture, and don’t act like an entitled tourist. It isn’t Disneyland. You wouldn’t like visitors to trash up your local woods or whatever you hold sacred nearby either. |

I work with a bunch of Hawaiian guys. I've heard some stories of tourists doing stupid shit on the islands who frankly deserved to get their asses beat. One guy we were working with who was from Texas decided to drive around local villages on the north side of Oahu and go for a swim in some local guys fish pond. Guys nephew came out and warned him to leave, his uncle would be home soon. The island boys laughed at him and told him he came within an inch of being left naked on the beach somewhere if the guys nephew hadn't come along. Guy treated the place like it was one big theme park and not a place where people's families have lived on the same spot for generations. All the islanders I've met and worked with have been great guys. |
