"It always kind of irked me to see a traditional Hawaiian house blessing and to bring in the white god in the middle of it just to please someone from the mainland. If you gonna do it, leave your white god back at home and pick up a hawiian tiki and learn a bit of hawaiian mythology and culture before. Have a little respect."
