When I lived in Hawaii, I was told that the translation of Haole, was ‘dirty white person”, The tern was from the fact that they did not remove their shoes when they entered a home.

Haole in modern slang means white person to most people in Hawaii. In Hawaiian the true meaning was always “foreign”. The word predates Hawaiians meeting white people and even now plenty of country Hawaiian’s that I know differentiate between a haole with mainland city lifestyle and a local white person

Gay people will call their gay friends “faggot’ all of the time. I have a straight black friend who calls other blacks the “N-word” all of the time but she recommends that I don’t do it to other black people.

I went to school at Wheeler Intermediate, and Mililani High School in the 70’s, and yes, Kill Haole Day was the last day of school year! BTDT! LOL!!!

I see you have then, earned the right to be called a haole. With such a hate for people you were obviously taught to fear, look down on, and think so little of…. no wonder you are the way you are.
No culture here? The culture here is love and acceptance, it’s one of respect for others and of your self. To say all are the same is to show your closed mindedness toward you self and the only one your putting down is your self.

Oh yeah and I personally trust all the answers I get on google.

Im sure if you were to ask anyone today, you would find out that the “kill haole day” might have been a thing in the 70s or 80s and probably only with in a tight group of people. I grew up here and still call this my home I went to school in the 90s and heard stories of it but I had never seen any one race singled out on the last day or any day. You see if you were thought at a young age that “people in Hawaii are horrible ” or taught that whites are racist (I’m not implying just making a point), or that red is red, up town is rich and trailer parks are poor, or that beaches are beautiful and deserts are ugly, and then that’s what you believe, then may I make a suggestion? Come to Hawaii and find out, are we all horrible? Go find a white person and see if they are racist. Go talk to a art store employee and see if red is red, who knows it might be a dark pink. Go to the trailer park, maybe they have riches someone from up town wishes they had. An I’ve been to Arizona and have driven from Salt Lake city to LasVagas. What we each are taught and what we choose to experience for our self could determine how we as individuals see our world.

There is no culture in Hawaii. It’s a prime welfare state. Most locals are lazy and very racist. The people and the culture sucks! There is a huge difference between laid back and just LAZY! I lived there for 4 years as a teenager. I was involved in more than 30 altercations with local cowards. Samoans, filipino – the people are pathetic LOSERS!

I have NEVER heard myself referred to as a haole – it was always F%$CKING HAOLE!
People in Hawaii are horrible and taught to hate whites from a very young age! Google “Kill haole day” – the last day of school is traditionally open season on white children.

I met some Haole Boys that lived in Mountain View, Big Island. When I met them I though for sure they were born and raised here…I was surprised that they had only moved here a few years back…these guys had totally absorbed the culture and were accepted…trip, full on local infusion kine! But it’s definitely a much more local side of the island. You will hear horror stories of peoples kids getting hard time in public school

Believe me, when a local calls you “Haole Boy/Girl” or introdoces you as “my haole friend” that is definitely a term of endearment…it means they like you and should be taken as a compliment(a local comedian Augie T. talks on the radio, there’s this white girl from the mainland that has a funny dialogue with him…she is literally referred to, like multiple times each show as “Haole Girl”). People that did not grow up here have this misconception that the word itself is derogatory. Well I have heard the word used thousands of times in many different contexts and it without a negative qualifier it is most definitely NOT.

I’ve made my own shirts here in Huntington Beach California AKA Surf City )(aola and proud of it!

I think you mean Kawika. Essentially, that’s the name “David” in Hawaiian.

very much so, very much so!
