...she feels welcome in America's 50th state because of its "spirit of openness and tolerance."

IMHO...not always the case!

A few years ago, while on vacation in Hawaii, we decided to take a side trip in the rental car and drive around Oahu (away from Honolulu and Waikiki Beach). While on the opposite side of the island we stopped at a public park between the Leeward Coast and the Windward Coast near the Pacific Ocean that we immediately noticed was only being used by local residents. After we got out of the car to walk around, we quickly sensed the nasty stares and heard the muttering of "How Lee" (Haole) and swiftly determined that we were NOT welcome there.

In Hawaii, tourists are encouraged to spend their money in the tourist areas, but not so welcome on the back side of the island.

But then it is doubtful that Michelle never got out of the tourist areas and her heavy security detail.

Some Hawaiians are even more bigoted against blacks than other “Haole’s”.
