Hand them over to the Japanese? The Japanese already bought them.

In my time in the USMC that place was one of the least desirable duty stations because of racial bigotry and high costs.

Yeah, let’s give statehood to the third-world island of Puerto Rico as well! Do we palefaces EVER learn?

Yes it is as are many places in South Korea.
But Japanese folks have a problem gong to Korea after their sordid past treatment of the Koreans and I do not understand why but the Japanese have always had a thing for Hawaii.

I lived on the edge of Seoul and worked at Yong Son for a year there and traveled as much as possible and always had a great time and was treated fabulously by the people wherever i went.

“Too bad Hawaii is one of those states that absolutely forbids concealed carry by the proles. If a few of these racist idiots got their chest cavities ventilated this crap would stop right quick.”

With all due respect, you do not have the correct picture.

As a “white” who has lived in Hawaii (and the mainland) for years, I can assure you that the only correct way for whites to live there is for whites to “know their place” and avoid certain beaches and areas (I suspect the folks mentioned in the article had ventured to one of the ‘off limits’ beaches....not smart).

The plain truth is that whites are out-numbered.

Furthermore, ‘vigilante justice’ is alive and well in the Islands; even I have lived there long enough that I have the ability to call up a couple of people and ask that they get a couple of Samoan guys and break someone’s legs and I can assure you it would happen, and the police would not even bother to investigate.

Azores are a good choice, although the air fares are very expensive. The most underrated food in the world.

White people need to fight back hard. Whites are the only race the government does not protect from racism.

ha- ask any GI if there is racism.

We got an unwarranted traffic ticket from a local cop wid a beef wid us, on the way to work our very first day on the islands.

Our civilian neighbors of 4 years who just moved from the mainland, both suffered miserably in each of their new jobs and workplaces because they were haole. Eventually they gave up trying to fit in and moved home

Away from Waikiki where da locals kinda sorta have to be nice to white folks/tourists to their faces, we learned to wait and be ignored in stores and restaurants and then humbly ask if the clerks would please help us. Eyes cast down, small apologetic smile for disturbing them, slightly lowered chin and shoulders. We mastered the act of being supplicants.

We loved the weather and scenery but moved, rather than stay and try to raise a white child there. The white kids that made went native, or stayed at Punahou etc and seldom mingled wit da common kamaiinas.

“The last day of school has long been unofficially designated “Beat Haole Day,” I have never heard of “Beat Haole Day”. What's the source? There are thousands of tourist who visit Hawaii every day without incident. I lived there for 5 1/2 years and only experienced one incident, but can tell about two others.”

I'd be happy to source it for you. ANYBODY who has spent any real time in Hawaii is intimately familiar with the term. No doubt you spent a few years in one of the big private schools. For my part it was very alive and well going back to my days in school circa 1970’s and early 80’s. The only ones treated worse than whites are blacks. Most of the bad eggs coincidentally don't have a Hawaiian bone in their body and their families haven't been there half as long as many of the white families. I'm glad you rode the bus safely around Waikiki. Next time try driving around the island. Growing up we were not allowed on fully 40% of the island without extreme caution. They've built big resorts out there now but most folk stay on the resort or the main roads. I've only got three generations on two sides though and one tangent line of actual Hawaiians. You said don't buy into the fear mongering but I'd suggest it's one of the more successful cover ups you'll find. My own family for the most part denies it out of a sense of loyalty. Go figure. It is a well deserved reputation and there should be a price to pay.

I believe the term was “Howlie” back in Steve McGarrett’s day...

I vote for an independent Republic of Hawaii. It was an accident that Hawaii ever became a state. Alaska, however, we will keep.

They didn't have Waikiki Beach until Gov. Lucius Eugene Pinkham designed the drainage system and turned swamps into paradise.

It's an incredibly giving and warm and generous place, but you have to earn it.

If I have to earn it, that hardly makes it "giving" and "generous" now, does it? It's more like I'm paying for it.

Visit any major American city; this is the result of pandering to the votes. Atlanta is classic; just like Detroit.

Professor Haunani-Kay Trask believes Native Hawaiians have every right to feel hostile toward whites. "There is no doubt in my mind [the attack] was racially motivated," she adds.

Technically, if I remember correctly, there are no more "native Hawaiians"—the bloodlines having been crossed and re-crossed so many times with Chinese, Japanese, and of course the white devils.

Could be wrong. College was a long, long time ago.

It's their "cultural inability to be humble [that] is a huge contributing factor in a lot of violence against them," one person wrote.

Some people just WANT to be slaves (dhimmis).
