Yeah, haole is derogatory, malihini is a similar word but not so much.
I’m still not sure what you mean about the race card; sometimes I think I have a touch of Aspberger’s. Seriously. I don’t get what seems obvious to others sometimes, especially jokes or innuendo.
If you want to create an instance where you have the opportunity to play the race card you first have to hang out bait. That bait arouses somebody's interest.
That there name, Bubba Joe, sounds a lot like a country hick's name. He might even be from the old South. (the bait)
Somebody looks into it and, by God, since it's so easy to find out, the person finds out that Bubba Joe really is from Texas. Then, out of old rivalries or a personal dislike against Texans in general, the person who found out that the person in question really was from Texas goes into a hate filled rant down at the barber shop for everybody to hear and it becomes the talk of the town. (swallows the bait)
This then gives the person hanging out the bait, who just happened to be hanging out at the barber shop, the much needed opportunity to say...SEE! SEE! Those guys at the barber shop are nothing but a bunch of bigoted jerks! They don't even like Texans. (sets the hook and reels in a big one)
If you don't get any bites, much less a nibble, your bait was no good or the fish were too smart to take the bait. As a last resort you go to the taxidermist and buy a stuffed fish to hang on your wall just so you have something to show.
Now do you get it? It works in reverse as well.
