Bruh that was a good video till I realized you're side stepping the fact that Hawaii is illegally occupied. While being a real state agent knowingly selling people your peoples stolen land 😮
Notice the speaker doesn’t want to openly say he grew up around a lot of whites… It’s a tell tell sign that there is an undertone of racism towards whites in Hawaii. Kill Haole Day, was a real thing…
Hawaii has the ghettoness of inner cities mixed with the racism of the rural deep south. That's basically hawaiian locals in a nutshell. If you look different, people will judge you or call you haole off the bat....and even then if you want to fit in, you have to do and act like everyone else.
Uh. Guess what Haole means. Foreigner. So if you don't want to be a foreigner, you do the opposite, right? You do and act like everyone else. Didn't you do your research before stepping foot in Hawaii?
Well your not wrong entirely and nobody can change other peoples opinions but not all hawaiians act like that it’s just the influence from the missionaries that came and well… took over the land
It’s funny how most people who say scream Haole are also Haole because they are not true Hawaiian. So may micros, Samoans, Filipinos think they rate that shit
@@TreverTrull Haole means foreigner in Hawaiian.So it don’t matter if Your Fijian to Plutonian..YOUR NOT HAWAIIAN and nothing to do with race BUT LOCATION! And not forgetting Our Polynesian descendants roots that traces to New Zealand.
There's a bumper sticker in Hawaii that reads: "Aloha also means goodbye." Kinda says it all right there. My aunt moved to Hawaii and would be standing in line at a grocery store and the cashier would totally ignore her and call up the Hawaiian women standing behind her in line and check them out instead. They'd laugh and say "Go home, haole".
Just be respectful where ever you go and you most likely will be fine. We r jus trying to live and work in one of the most expensive states not because we want to, but because this is our land we are connected to it, and that’s something most mainlanders don’t understand! We love our land and it’s hard to watch what it is becoming.
There are jerks to be found anywhere but Hawaii has no more than anywhere else. I'm from the South and Hawaii is the only place in the world that I've been to that gives "Southern hospitality" a run for it's money. Sure, you'll come across obvious jerks that are angry at the world but no more than in the South or anywhere else I've traveled to. Don't give them a second thought and you'll have a great time
I was also raised in the south for the fire to art of my childhood and have southern family. I’m actually visiting Nashville right now. I’d say aloha is (can be) all things that southern hospitality are and more and without the constant sarcasm, which I actually enjoy when it’s from friends and family.
There isn’t. I’m hoale and all of my friends are local kine. This place isn’t the US, if you’re respectful to the land and culture and give back to the community you’ll be accepted. Lots of mfrs come here expecting like they can do what they please, you can’t, all besides Kanaka Maoli are guests here, treat it with respect.
I want to make it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR… We don’t hate people who come from the US continent. we don’t take well to entitled high maka maka faka’s who act like they’re above everyone else because they have money or because they’re so “educated” or even more so come off as disrespectful because they fail to realize there’s a certain decorum we adhere to in Hawai’i. it’s one thing to be ignorant & try to learn to become better but it’s another thing to willfully ignore the decorum. It’s the mindset that you bring with you that makes you garbage, not where you come from or your skin color! Remember, ALOHA IS FREE SO IS CRACKS.
Simply put, Treat ppl the way u want to be treated. Be cool, ppl will be cool to you. Be active in your community as a positive force and Aloha goes along way.
I've been to Hawaii more than a dozen times. I've never, ever had a local be rude or nasty to me or my wife. Respect the culture and you'll have no problems. I can't say the same for where I live.(Texas)
I got a Hawaiian roommate he try to kill me I Guess he doesn't like mexicans we mexicans we're cool with Hawaiian but why he acts like that for no reason
There's more than enough pure racism in Hawaii. Most local people are warm hearted and decent. But there are definitely some you need to stay away from. And no matter how much respect you show, you won't get any back. The land of Aloha is actually a very tense place. No one needs to give up their own culture to assimilate anywhere, really. You do you, and well, just be nice.
Sorry brah. I grew up in Hawaii (Kaneohe & Mililani). If you have blonde hair & blue eyes, you will never be accepted by many in Hawaii. I have brown eyes & brown hair. After getting tanned & learning pidgin, I was able to fit in … sort of. I had the Hapa Haole look. But I had friend that was never going to be accepted by some locals due to his blonde hair & blue eyes. He ended up going to the mainland for college.
@@mikebuck1897I also grew up in Oahu,Hawaii but I never saw or heard of anyone that had a problem with blonde hair and blue eyes. Is that actually true? I saw many people n’ they had those features.
Being Filipino I find that Hawaiians and Filipinos have alot in common culturally like taking your shoes off, respect for elders and love of family. Im not originally from here but don't find getting along with locals to be an issue at all.
Getting along with locals can be difficult for some people who come from a different culture or country. Many people moving here from the mainland ask us about this topic
He's the perfect guy making true statements about Hawaii. Most of the prejudice is based on visual cues fron ideas as old as the 70s. Be aware some locals will take your last dime or your favorite things. Its an island culture and there are basic differences. There is also so much we share from tv to respect for those who come into our lives. Dont forget most who come here are people who can afford it. We dont see the ones like us who have to depend on each other. Many more of those than you know.
I’ve never been to Hawaii but I can tell that the locals are getting screwed just like main landers. They are priced right out of their homes just like us.
Not exactly sure what you mean. Being kind from both I’ll say though the Hawaiian culture translates to the mainland culture easier because the Hawaiian culture is heavier on being reserved, humble, respectful etc., so people aren’t typically complaining about Hawaiians bringing their modesty. That said, it can also be thin skinned and easily triggered so sometimes Hawaii culture would fail on the mainland
Grew up on Oahu in the 60's. Have been back several times for visits, all the islands except Lanai (and Niihau, duh). Have always been treated well by locals. Only one time did a couple of teenagers key off on me (I'm overweight). Usually someone else initiates a conversation. I always tell people stand still anywhere for a minute and somebody will stop to talk story. Never fails for me. Love Hawaii. Miss it so much.
Do Hawaiians think that mainlanders are "rich?" I asked because I can't help but notice a similarity with the Philippines because of my time in the Philippines they thought that I was "rich"
@@joshuaperez7479 all good my guy I born and raised hawai’i my whole life that’s all I see with tourists nice rentals act like they own the place no care people live here their 1 week of fun is everyday struggle for us locals who doing whatever to survive if you come have fun enjoy be respectful
Well most likely comparatively so, because as described by the hosts of this YT channel, education and “the grind” is not something given great value or importance within the general Hawaiian community. And if you pick a good college major and build yourself up, success if not immediately is due to come, one way or another.
It seems so easy for people to understand that surroundings have a lot to do with how people grow up talking. A good way to live in Hawaii is through the military. You get to live in a diverse community of people from all over the US (without having to pay the high living expenses), within that diverse community of various cultures. It is probably easier for the younger kids in elementary school because they can go to school on the installation. The only problem is that it does not last that long.
You are right.I’m local-ish I show respect & get respect.i know not everyone is gonna like me for one reason or another.i still show respect that way they see not all people that visit or move here are the same.i love the unique culture & yes there are bad apples everywhere
Unfortunately there are loud individuals who demonstrate hatred in all cultures and the internet makes their voices louder. I've visited Hawaii several times (usually stayed in Ma'alaea Bay on Maui) and I have never experienced personal hostility from locals. I'm from the mainland but I can immediately feel the Aloha chill attitude when I reach the islands. I can even feel it at home in Michigan on a relaxing summer day as I listen to Brothers Cazimero by a lake or by the pool. Usually in Hawaii if I smile and greet a person and either waive or throw a shaka I get the same in return. Life moves a little bit slower in the islands but when you adapt a bit and show the respect, Hawaii is truly unique and truly paradise. Tourists: DO YOUR HOMEWORK on the do's and don'ts for when you are in Hawaii. 🤙Aloha from SE Michigan.
I believe the respect is in order however the people that come to visit and possibly end up staying I need to understand that wherever they came from we don’t do it that way and it’s a big no-no on a local site for Kentucky person for example trying to tell us how to do it here in Hawaii Because that’s how they do it in Kentucky or wherever else do you come from they need to not only show respect But learn to understand our island mentality that may help make Easier to accept them otherwise let them all come spend the money enjoy the Island show their respect they go home.
I have worked many years in the tourism industry in various locations including many years in Alaska. I have been to the Big Island and to Kauai, both times as a tourist. I also travel extensively in South America (off the beaten path)… having worked in tourism and traveling extensively I am not an idiot tourist - yes they exist I see them everywhere and from all cultures and backgrounds. Having said that, I do get targeted on occasion for being blonde/blue - such as getting asked for money in Colombia way more than my father who is dark hair/skin… no biggie. The ONLY place I have been harassed and threatened multiple times (physically threatened as well) was in Kauai. All 3 times I was alone and there were 3-7 locals. One of the times was very close to getting out of hand and my hair and Wiley color were mentioned repeatedly all 3 times. I honestly wish the US government would pull out and give the islands back to the people to run how they see fit. There is a very high percentage of Hawaiians who want to be sovereign and I wish we would move our Pacific fleet and operations to an island where it was welcomed. Let Hawaii be left to itself and make a new 50th state. It is hands down the most racist place I have experienced in my extensive travels and their threats worked - I will never go back and anyone I know who is planning to visit (and who looks like me) I try to dissuade them from doing so. In this sense I guess I am now an ally to the locals!
I don't blame you. I had lived in Oahu myself for many years. It is for certain the most racist place on earth. They always brag about being nice, kind, having Aloha, Ohana but it's all biggest media hyped up BS to make their Island look good. I dealt with more jerks, A-holes, pricks, knuckleheads, racist A-holes and uneducated SOBs more in Hawaii than anywhere else. Never ever go to Hawaii.
Wow 😮 From our whole team, thank you, for sharing such a detailed and personal story with us. Across our state, there are many instances where tourism and sovereignty don’t mix. To many locals on Kauai, that island is the last stand. Glad to hear you weren’t physically harmed.
I’m sorry that you guys came over here stole water from the windward side for sugar and the spread rumors about the queen than took over our sovereign kingdom we should’ve just let you guys take it with no hard feelings and tell everybody to not hold grudges to the people restricting our culture and our identity I’m so sorry that’s all our fault
I am a “white” woman from the Midwest originally, now a military physician. I have always loved Hawaiian values and culture and dreamed of moving to HI since I was in middle school! My husband is from eastern europe. My dream is to PCS to HI but I did have concerns about bullying, especially for my kiddos attending school, despite us of course with the intent to respect and assimilate into the culture. Does anyone have advice/experience they can touch on about this? Thank you for discussing these topics that other realtors seem to skirt around-we will certainly be contacting your realty team y’all are great. ☺️
My wife and I, both white, have lived in Hawaii for over a decade, and I can count on one hand the number of personal negative interactions I've had with locals. Our children have had exactly one interaction where they were bullied for race. Our older child has been bullied many times now in school, but not for race. Both of our children have friends, both locals and transplants from all over: Polynesia, SE and E Asia, US Mainland, etc. The worst I've seen is with some of my younger, white male co-workers fresh to the islands. Often that's triggered by something dumb they do, though there is a racial component to what happens afterwards. Sometimes they don't do anything wrong, like to get a Hawaii state drivers license, and have to go back 5+ times. [[EDIT: It is important to note that what racism is here isn't directed specifically at white people, it's directed in every direction. I hear that the micronesians get the worst of it, but I haven't seen it in person. It's just a few shitty people being shitty to everyone else. Most people are pretty kind and awesome.]] People in Hawaii are people, just like anywhere else; there are good people and bad people, good Hawaiians and bad Hawaiians, good locals and bad locals. Most people out here are extremely friendly, though customs are not the same on the Mainland (just like they are not the same across all areas of the Mainland). Take off your shoes when entering a house, don't be an Aku bird (i.e. don't show up to a party with nothing in hand), don't mess with protected animals (turtles, seals, Nene, etc.), and so on. If you come out, just get to know people around you and ask; there's no shame in learning. The big one out here is Aloha. It's real; you can just about touch it. It doesn't just mean hello and goodbye. People live with Aloha, treat each other with Aloha, and many locals even drive with Aloha, which takes some getting used to! Now days, even white people run into racism on the Mainland. It's actually nice to get away from Mainland politics and just get to know your neighbors as people.
I didn't get to grow up here. Parents couldn't afford to stay... My mom and uncles were all half white, quarter filipino and quarter Hawaiian. They were darker than most Hawaiians I see on the island even today. Grew up near Baltimore and some of my friends thought we had African American cuz my mom was dark and I was the only non black on my basketball team 🤣 . My uncles told me they'd get bullied whenever the kids saw them with their dad because all the white comes from him Army vet). Nowadays u have kids lighter than me blonde hair blue eyes getting into Kamehameha 😅. My dad worked construction in the 70's and early 80's helped build homes in Hawaii kai but could barely afford roach infested apartment in Waipahu... funny enough it was the Filipinos that would always call him haole not the Hawaiians. If the kids are respectful, show Aloha they should mostly be fine regarding race and bullying. My other half works in the schools. Middle school is the potential rough time. Could always teach your kids martial arts so they can defend themselves if needed. My brother has autism but was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and he had to use it at least 3 separate times in school. Many military members have the time of their life in Hawaii and their kids do too.
If your kids play sports (and are good in sports), then they will most likely fit in very well at Hawaii public schools. If they know how to fight - like if they are good in wrestling, boxing, jiu-jitsu, judo, then no one will mess with them because the fastest way for a local to "lose face" is to get rag dolled by a White kid. Local kids in Hawaii respect athleticism and fighting ability. I know this its sad to have to say this, but it's true. The White kids who were athletes didn't get bullied. The White kids who were not athletic often got bullied. There was a white kid in my high school who was small - 5'5 and 120-lbs. I never saw anyone pick on him because he was very strong for his size, and he was a state wrestling champion. He was a very nice and humble kid. I never saw anyone "test" him because everyone knew he could hold his own if needed.
When my father was stationed at Pearl Harbor from 1973-1977 I attended school and the only time I felt there was a point where there was tension between myself and my new Hawaiian friends was a day that was called "Kill Haole day" and the definition of this I found on line...( Kill Haole Day is the term for bullying incidents that occurred in some public Hawaii schools, when non-white students would harass and attack white students. Kill Haole Day was discussed by the Hawaiian legislature when debating hate crimes legislature in 1999, despite the lack of documented incidents. )...Even friends became somewhat hostile towards me but that didn't last long...All in all I loved our time in Hawaii... Hawaii No Ka Oi.
OMG that is horrific! You got bullied and beaten up at school didn't you? I'm sorry if that happened :( I'm a tenderhearted woman but that makes me so sad hearing your story. Your friends would bully you too because of your skin color? I'm very fair skinned, blonde blue eyes too, so I guess I'd really be hated. That is sick. They got rid of the day didn't they? Got rid of the awful term too I hope? Haole is racist term for whites or what? Am I getting this wrong or is the H word the same as how the N word was used for blacks but H for whites in Hawaii? If so I hope it was outlawed, or at least people shamed for using it. That is so hurtful. My Dad was from the midwest and he told me as a child that he would whip my butt so hard if he ever heard me use the N word, that it was degrading and wrong and that skin color was nothing, that we all bleed red and nobody is better than anyone else. I taught my kids the same thing.
Haole is often used towards whites but it literally means foreigner and can be used when speaking to a person of any color. If you truly wish to understand more of why there is alot of pent of frustration with haoles you need to understand Hawaiians have been waiting very patiently for America to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom to Sovereign Independent Nation it was before the illegal overthrow.
@lookingglass5369 not true....usually if it's derogatory it's f'in haole...that is not the only time haole is used. You did sugar coat over my point of Hawaiians being patient while you guys ignore the facts.
This is so much like the Mexican culture I grew up in here in Arizona. If you came to the hood with blonde hair blue eyes, you were not trusted until proven trustworthy and even then still looked at with reservation. But a Mexican family will feed you if they have nothing to give and if they have no money to do it with. It's just what we grew up in.
Be humble. If someone says Aloha, make sure to say Aloha in return. Don’t be pushy. Treat everyone with respect. Don’t judge based on what someone is wearing, or the car they drive, or the job they hold. You won’t have any trouble getting along with any locals.
Why don't you have respect first? You be humble. You racist so called Hawaiins are always attacking and beating tourists for no reason. You stop being pushy.
@@nerthus4685 It's a two way street. Mainlander tourists (usually the rich karen types) are the ones that they hate the most. But then again, every american in every state hates those types. Problem is hawaiian locals tend to look at every white person and assume they are the dreaded "entitled karen" tourist.
You get what you give. Come over with respect leave your entitlement at the door you’ll be fine the moment you start trying to push the way you act wherever you came from you not gonna like it
Hate? well its not like hate its more like envy,rent is really expensive in Hawaii compared to the mainland where in some areas you can live much cheaper earning the same income which is why most born in Hawaii opt to settle somewhere in the mainland.
I worked in Hawaii in the 70s and later was posted at Schofield Barracks. I found locals had/have ambivalent attitudes towards haoles. Understand that a haole is a tourist or white person or simply a mainlander.
Puerto Ricans also bring African, Spanish, and Native American culture, being as though they are also of African, Spanish, and Native American descent.
Maybe incoming flights to Hawaii should be required to play Mr. Sun Cho Lee by Keola and Kapono Beamer over the intercom just before landing just to get curious conversation going. 😂
Aloha even her in Cali Shows respect Ohana meeting up with Hawaiian family you show respect you get it. You treat the Kapuna your elders with the respect they deserve. Goes a long way. Pacific Islanders are allot alike. treat them with the respect they deserve. And they will love you. Mahalo to all my Hawaiian Ohana. At home in Hawaii and her in Cali
@@movingtohawaii You're racist towards little children. I lived in your neighborhood and went to your schools in first and second grades. All you Hawaiians teachers and other kids treated me and my sister like lepers. We were children of an Army soldier. I live in the south and your worse than the Klu Klux Klan. The Klan is now history but your still here being racist in 2023.
That's the thing as a islander my self, these hawaiians I understand about sovereignty, but at the end of the day we sure love the stuff that the haoles brought like trucks right ❓😂lol
I got good vibes in hawaii. I didn't like it because I felt like tourists were annoying, and I saw a lot of homeless people that looked like they came from the mainland and were just living off handouts and foraging.
Just dont go. Who wants to fly for a plus hours spend thousands of thousands of dollars and a place where people don't want you to be? Hawaii is way too expensive and way too far away there's plenty of places you can go to for that tropical experience in the southeast. Besides it seems almost sacrilegious to go to Maui right now. There still people who haven't been found yet how can you swim in the waters that are graveyard? Seems extremely disrespectful.
Brahh…. You should really take this post DOWN. It’s not good for how people on mainland U.S. already views us Hawaiians. Or at least change your picture of you flipping off everybody…. They know we don’t like them and are afraid of us. 🤙🏽

Why so a different country an come and take you over? You should be eternally grateful the US annexed you and protects you. If you had been taken over by any other country, you would have probably been killed off entirely, and at best used as a slave state.
As a member of the LGBTQ community, I have never felt more attacked than I was in Hawaii. My husband and I always heard Hawaii was friendly to our community but we found out quickly in Waikiki you cannot be openly gay without harrassment.
My Auntie is gay and she’s here, she is accepted by everyone. Don’t come here thinking like this place is the US, it’s completely different. Maybe you’re just a dick, if you come here not respecting the culture of course people won’t be kind to you.
That’s because Waikiki always is a tourist trap and the tourists basically stole Waikiki for them selfs and (not saying all) but most of them are super nasty
If you come here, treat the land and people with respect. All my friends are local kine and I’m Hoale. Treat the land as it’s sacred, give back to the community. Most people come here with the mindset that they can act a fool and act how they act in the mainland, you can’t. It it’s own place with its own culture. If you come here acting a fool, of course some bruddas gon check you lmao
Hell Yes! After the way the USA stole their sovereignty, there are even Hawaiians that hate Hawaiians , Those who descent of the Hawaiians that were abandoned in Molokai decades ago, because they had Lepra, they arn't too happy with those Hawaiians that did this ,and I can't say that I blamed them, there's a reason why Molokai is the least friendly of the islands.
How much of Hawaii is Hawaiian? I heard there are only around 2,000 pure Hawaiians . The culture in Hawaii is a huge mix. I just don't understand your comment. There is not much left to "keep" Hawaiian. Not being disrespectful just curious what you mean?
