Why?

I probably need to clear the air a bit. While it is true all races have their good and bad. This place of paradise has always singled out races, whether it was to be funny ala Andy Bumatai, Rap Riplinger, or through school with such honorable days as "Kill Haole Day", or "Choke a Moke Day", or "Slap a Jap Day",etc,etc.. So whether it's right or wrong, people who grew up here tend to refer to race instead of individuals when things happen.

I understand that both the Big Island and Maui has a gret influx of Mexicans coming in. But for the most part they are workers, and they aren't bleeding the state of it's resources.

I had to laugh the other day. While at the Kea'au 'Suds n Duds' I witnessed a confrontation for a washing machine between a Micronesian women and a local women mistaken for a Haole. I say mistaken for a haole because the Micronesian women's husband had the audacity to call the women a 'stupid Haole'. Well, the stupid haole turn out to be a fair skin local 'Portagee',.....and she proceeded to rip the Micronesian man a new ***hole! Is "Haole" part of the Micronesian dialog, is it a word they have picked up here?

To make a long story short, Hawaii has always ripped into the latest group of immigrants. It seems to be the norm rather than the exception.
