Haole Girl,
A lot of the frustrations you expressed are not unique to hawaii. The Real Estate boom, combined with population growth (Hawaiian, US and world wide) has created simular pressures in many localities and usually the luxuries of blaming a culture or race are not available. You should have cultural pride, and some resentment for the circumstances that befell you forefathers is natural. That said, you are a member of one of the cultures that make up America. You are American.
Getting back to tone.
The emotion that comes through your posts (intended or not, and it sure seems intended) appears to be one that is much stronger than meanness.
