@@SantiagoLeimans What about the KILL WHITE PEOPLE DAY? How is the "Kill a Haole" day currently practiced in Hawaii and why does it continue? 3 Answers  Andy Narimatsu , born and raised in Hawaii.

Nobody I’ve ever met in real life have ever reported experiencing such a thing, and I’ve never once heard anything of that sort, despite going to one of the larger public schools on Oahu, though things may have been different 30+ years ago.

Haole (predominantly white) kids were targeted and beat up/harassed by their Native/Mixed-Hawaiian peers for one day out of the year. It wasn’t typically announced or made aware for the Haole students before the event. This was done to maximize the “Haole-killing” for the day. Public schools quickly made laws and took measures to prevent this tradition from continuing, but it took some time to implement fully because aggressors and their families considered it a beloved tradition. No Haoles were actually killed in these events, and the beatings were typically minimal harassment at worst. The entirety of the tradition is rooted in the long-term oppression and bastardization of Native Hawaiian culture and language since the monarchy. This is why many adult guardians and figures did not intervene when the event started. 779 views View upvotes 6 2  Lone Foxx Answered Aug 9, 2021 Its fascinating how much disinformation there is about Kill Haole Day. One reason people try and play it off as something that doesn’t happen or doesn’t happen anymore is because Hawaii is so dependent on tourism, so many people will straight out lie about the presence of extreme racism in Hawaii. I’ve been all over North America and I’ve never seen such racism as exists in Hawaii. I deal with racism on a daily basis and its ironic because I’m an Armenian Jew yet when the racist locals see me I’m Captain Cook.

Originally Answered: What is the worst thing about Hawaii? There are many bad things in Hawaiʻi, but if I had to choose, it’d probably be the high homeless population.  (this is an image of a Hawaiʻi homeless camp being razed by government workers) But isn’t Hawaiʻi a paradise? No. It’s not. And our homeless population would be more than happy to tell you that. For starters, if you’re homeless in Hawaiʻi, you can’t move to a cheaper area because Hawaiʻi is a small island chain. You’ll need an expensive plane ticket to move to the US mainland. It also doesn’t help that the homeless rate in Hawaiʻi is really high. Here is a chart of the top ten states/territ Continue Reading 514 7 39 Related Answer  Paul C.

I'm black myself and have always loved hawaiians and their way of life and family spirit since I was young. I always felt I had a hawaiian spirit even though I'm not hawaiian in anyway. 😅

Nah, they got too much hate! they, feel you taking their jobs or whatever? call you an N or a papolo and ready to scrap!

@@jaxthewolf4572 bro, they are black. Most indigenous peoples are! Go look at pictures of King Kamehameha! Or his statue.

Racist!

@@dustinmiller2775 That's like saying everyone is "black". Technically according to gnome studies we all come from the landmass that is called "Africa". So technically we are all "black". The reason "we" (hawaii non-white locals and hawaiians) don't like haoles much is their attitudes and how hawaii became a state. Popolos with the same attitudes have the same problems with "locals". We are used to having issues with haoles so we are automatically wary of them. Popolos obviously don't look like haoles and share similarities with many non-white locals so we are less wary of them right off the bat.

Are you jealous because your haole heritage has bad history on the islands? lol

Henry M nigga wha?

Yes, I was in Hawaii 2 years ago and the real Hawaiians were amazing. They were so friendly and helped me alot with directions and basically getting around and didn't expect anything in return. I was SURPRISED about the many homeless white folks everywhere in Waikiki.

@@SantiagoLeimans I've lived maui for 8 years and oahu for 5 years and big Island for 5 years to me the most chill place where there's rarely trouble is at Big Island

That’s Filipino though. I get that treatment in some areas. But the Hawaiians, though? Love and respect so long as you respect and love, too.

In terms of jobs, Filipino managers favor the Filipino employees more, favoritism. Its very obvious. It's annoying. I even reported my Filipino department manager to our Union because of her being unfair. Plus she's cocky too with her attitude. Yep, they treat you differently.

Its almost too calm here...like even the people at work are far more chill than anywhere I've ever been but thats a good things

Tanner Lorenzo cuz we like it slow. We don’t want it to be rushed like the mainland. When people rush, they get careless of themselves and about the people around them.

I agree went to maui 3 weeks ago and I want to make it my permanent home!!

I'm sure the KKK had excuses for their racist hatred too. In the end though it's just hate and it's shameful.

Yep, I agree. You can see and hear them coming. Some will act friendly, but eventually they will show you who they are. It's not just locals; I was on a large construction site and the whites were bringing up 'Aryan Nation' type talk and many found it offensive.

Do you have an example of something in particular that made you feel that way

That’s terrible! So sorry you had to go through that

So you married a man of another nation and are surprised his family didn't like you???

You knew what you were getting into deal with it!

bet most of that was in your head or something you did off putting towards them

Save your money and go to Vegas or colorado. That’s where all the locals going. We can’t survive here bro. Don’t come here it’s too expensive for shit

Pamela Santos Bermudes thanks for the clarity...much appreciated

To add to what Pamela said, respect is a huge thing in Hawaii. Respect the land, the people, your elders, etc. If you act like you are above everybody (high maka maka), then you will be treated badly by everyone. Like they say everybody is related in Hawaii. I was born and raised in Kaneohe, went to the only public high school there and saw some black people. The problem is I didn't know one girl was black until after I graduated and somebody brought up that she was black. I just thought she was a darker skinned local girl, because that's the way she acted. When I was in high school, I along with many others, were really dark skinned because we skipped school to go to the beach.

Yep respect the culture and you are in like Flynn. Act like you are an "uppity" and you're toast. Once your are in, you will find that the locals would do anything for you. It has been like that as far as I can remember, being born in Hawaii before WWII.

i agree pamela, but sometimes its not as simple as respect. it can be harder to do things and making freinds if your white in hawaii. and some still wont accept, although like i mentioned in my experience respect will get you a long ways in hawaii, it doesnt always get you to the finish line. especially if you need housing help or are poor etc.

Please "up vote" yourself 1000 times.

Def go visit first...Thank you for watching!!!

to help you fix that hawaii was a sugar plantation field if you ever go visit the sugar plantation field thats where many cultures had to work together while that happened we created so many local dishes especially rice because; rice is another staple of hawaiis local culture we have so many things to offer here from the food (maybe its better from where u tasted it but thsi is hawaii version) the rules like leaving ur slippers off getting Lickins (spankings), hugging your aunties and uncles , and also cultural events like obon-festivals(usually from june-september), chinese new year(usually sometime in january and plus most of us who grew up here like locals used the chinese zodiac), and so on so we may not be the best but i mean as a local here would not wanna trade it anywhere else (except for the governemnt and shit which is terrible here)

He said “peppered” which means sprinkled.

Be Happy thank you, I love intelligent people sharing what they know.

Thank you for the compliment.

there is NO Hawaiian gene. All came from other places originally.

watchgoose True.

Well they say humans came from Africa so we might as well all say there is only one gene. Human. And there may not be a GENE but there is a CULTURE. You don’t seem like a very nice person, watchgoose. I’ve seen the mean things and put downs you say. It’s not nice to put down people for your amusement. There is such thing as “kindly disagree” and “if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself”. Otherwise we call that a bully.

I did and am stronger and wiser from it for sure. Thanks;) @@SantiagoLeimans

*haole also im so sorry for your bad experience here tbh I am local here and part hawaiian but not all people are bad just wish locals can see that though (some)

Unfortunately, you can thank your ancestors for that. I think haoles who decide to stay in Hawaiʻi would fair a lot better if they strongly advocated for deoccupation by the US government. Otherwise, Hawaiians will see you as a perpetuation of the problem. As sad as that may be, thatʻs the way things are. Iʻd recommend to other haoles that they try to right the wrongs of their ancestors, or do as you have done, and try finding a more accommodating place to live...

I was considering taking a job on Oahu but I am white and have 2 white kids (one is 2 and the other is only a few months). I’m thinking it might not be a good idea to raise my kids there. Thanks for sharing

No problem...Thank you for watching!!!

Mikael Wallgren you’re slightly right however it’s more of a nationality thing. Like if you’re a white American then Hawaiians tend to feel more annoyed by your presence than say a white German. But it’s not a disrespectful thing. It’s more like a “you’re an outsider who thinks this is your land which kinda annoys me” thing.

For real. Working class white people hate rich fuckers too. Like Zuckerberg...

You'll def fit in because Hawaii is so chill just don't wear shoes on the beach lol sandals are cool but not shoes lol

Go for it, it’s an epic place. Just give respect and you’ll get respect

You don't worry about that. Just come ready to learn, to respect the culture, and be naturally who you are. You will be fine.

@@SantiagoLeimans yes we dsilike shoes on the beach so I also have a problem with that but also goodluck here on hawaii!

thank you...

Hate to burst your bubble Suka, but....ah....um......95% of the population voted "Yes" to become a State in 1959. So Hawaii could suck on the breast of the USA. It was NOT "ugly", there were parades in the streets in celebration. SMH Similar to African Americans??? The percentage of "Hawaiians", or I guess in 2019 however you IDENTIFY yourself, is LESS THAN 5 PERCENT in Hawaii (2018).......there are very few "Hawaiians"......yet anyone with Asian qualities and .000000001 Hawaiian blood quantum, now claims to be Hawaiian. "Chip on their shoulder"??? Only the one's that have been inculcated through High School graduation that the white man is the root of all their problems......which is a good portion of "locals" on the islands. How is any of the Hawaiian History paralleling the "African Americans in the Mainland"? I don't recall in High School History Hawaiians rounding up Hawaiians and sending them on ships to the Deep South to be slaves. Waiting.......

I know I am trying to find more time...Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

ke 15 tv naw,you’re just black, there’s no Indian there, I should know

I'm a "mix" and if I'm not out in the sun (like during winter here on the mainland) I'm "white-passing" and I got all the usual hassles growing up in Hawaii. But you know what? On the mainland all the little white kids give each other shit for not having the most up-to-date shoes and stupid stuff like that.

Thank you for watching...Chill chill it's my accent lol

Although technically we are all guests on this earth, the reality we live in is that you cant simply fly to any country you want to buy property. The government and citizens that belong to that country determine who, when, and why foreigners can visit and what they can do while there. Hawaii was its own sovereign nation but had those privileges stripped from them illegally. That is the issue. Then their people and culture were systematically demolished and their land taken from them and given to others with the result that they now struggle in the home land they once thrived in. Its a bit more complex than simply buying a house somewhere.

Lol! I'm black/hawaiian lived here all my life and we just call black people, black people or some locals or mokes say "popolo" it's like how we call white ppl "haole"

Used to be really bad back in the day. There were these "Coconut Willy" records you could get at the record stores, all racist humor about Hawaiians. Sheesh!

There's really nothing to tease, hawaiian culture is beautiful.

Also from Sacramento 😎 and yes it was the Asians.

Hilo that is. Still have a great friend there who lives in Hilo. I made allot of good friends there but other times people called me names in check out lines in stores for no reason other then I was there.

Hi Jason, I live in Hawaii and I appreciate your heritage, people, and culture. I've lived here for 5 years and it's the best 5 years ever. I know I'm kama'aina not kanaka but Hawaiians need to fight to get your land back. It can be done but there's strength in numbers...and I'll stand by you guys and fight with you but I can't fight by myself. It breaks my heart to see locals barely surviving in a land that's rightfully thiers. Housing prices so expensive that its unattainable due to location and mainlanders treating you like you're less than. Hawaiians are very smart and resilient people which is why you need your land back. It'll make the King and Queen proud... God Bless

vickikendricks many of us want our land back, but as it stands though. Unless the government starts to crack down, many of us are content living in paradise. I know Hawai'i is one of the top 10 most expensive States, it is manageable. A positive attitude and carrying the spirit of Aloha, along with a hard working mentality and good money management makes all of it hard but satisfying. I mean it paradise, a good 95% of my friends around the world wish they could move down here. Only a few of my friends ever had the opportunity to come and visit.

Jason Griffin Not everyone has this positive mindset, of course everyone is different. But its refreshing to this, I'm not saying all locals are struggling but because I live close to Waianae so I do see a lot. Again, Hawaii is so beautiful it's an island that should be admired and appreciated not bought and sold. Peace and Blessing Jason. Thanks for the reply.

I feel you. My great great grandfather is Hawaiian and my father has the Hawaiian on his side my mother is Scottish. I get treated poorly based on my appearance. The Hawaiian people are being racist towards whites and then complain that whites did it to them. Double standards. I understand how annoying vacationers are. They can be rude. So by this logic I can understand the natives frustration. I moved to Hawaii so I could learn about my ancestors. I find Hawaii to be so relaxing and I've learned to look the other way when I get a dirty look. Once they realize me and my family just want to live and respect the Island, Hawaiians are much more friendly. My father grew up during the Times of Martin luther king jr. He taught us to treat others the way you want to be treated and to not judge a person by the color of their skin but by their character. I live that way and I teach my child this school of thought as well. Chin up, mate. Times are changing and the world has a place for people like you and like me.🤙🤙
