My comment has nothing to do with PC, what planet are you living on? You said "most people don't know what it means" which for most people who live here and are integrated into the community enough to actually see something suspicious is just false.
My first day at work here I asked the person training me about something and they replied "I don't know, not my kuleana" you can bet I learned what the word meant in a hurry. I stand by the position that if someone has been here longer than 6 months and they still don't know that word, they are living in an all mainland transplant bubble, or are completely unobservant.
My point was your version of "most people" is not really "most people," it might be most people living in that all mainland transplant retiree bubble, but it is not most of the residents of Hawaii, anyone who grew up here, or has lived and worked here any length of time, knows exactly what kuleana means in this context. You just wanted to piss and moan about our ineffective government, which in many cases would be perfectly valid, but not this time.
