We were stationed in Hawaii in the early 80’s and I worked with Hawaiians. They do not like people from the mainland. If you stay in a hotel they treat you real nice (tips) but they really despise you.
I had several chances to go back to Hawaii on TDY as a civilian but turned it down each time. I have no respect for them.
