For background, Hawaii is the only state in the Union that still has segregated schools. (You have to be Hawaiian to attend Kamehameha Schools, which is the wealthiest school in the United States.) The State government also has an agency which provides money and services just to Native Hawaiians: the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. There are dozens of legal benefits that are only granted to Native Hawaiians. They also can get discounts in many stores by showing a card that indicates they have Native Hawaiian blood. They also get government preference for being provided free longterm leaseholds of public land under the Hawaiian Homelands Act.

Until the practice was struck down a few years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court in Rice v. Cayetano, Hawaii also had racially segregated elections in which only Native Hawaiians could vote and where only Native Hawaiians could hold certain elected offices.

This is nothing new. I was stationed there for three years at Kaneohe Bay. If you are not a native Hawaiian they don’t want you there, except for your money of course. The pidgin word (their pig latin language of screwed up English) for whites is hawley. I’m surprised they said get your white ass off the beach. I would have thought they would say get your hawley ass off the beach...

[I see my hands]

I go there lots. The anti haole bigotry is palpable though not universal. I say if the Hawaiians don’t like it there they can go back to the Marquesas where they came from.

In my time in the USMC that place was one of the least desirable duty stations because of racial bigotry and high costs.

[Clemenza]

Yeah, let’s give statehood to the third-world island of Puerto Rico as well! Do we palefaces EVER learn?

[ozzymandus]

White people need to fight back hard. Whites are the only race the government does not protect from racism.

[Malesherbes]

I vote for an independent Republic of Hawaii. It was an accident that Hawaii ever became a state. Alaska, however, we will keep.

[Hoffer Rand]

It's an incredibly giving and warm and generous place, but you have to earn it.

If I have to earn it, that hardly makes it "giving" and "generous" now, does it? It's more like I'm paying for it.

[OpeEdMunkey]

Professor Haunani-Kay Trask believes Native Hawaiians have every right to feel hostile toward whites. "There is no doubt in my mind [the attack] was racially motivated," she adds.

Technically, if I remember correctly, there are no more "native Hawaiians"—the bloodlines having been crossed and re-crossed so many times with Chinese, Japanese, and of course the white devils.

Could be wrong. College was a long, long time ago.

It's their "cultural inability to be humble [that] is a huge contributing factor in a lot of violence against them," one person wrote.

Some people just WANT to be slaves (dhimmis).

Why would I want to fly 12 hours to a beach full of idiots when I can get to the cheaper Carribean in about 3 or Europe in 8 hours? Screw Hawaii. Let’s drop them as a state and see how they like it. They’d be back to living in dirt huts and sacrificing goats to their pagan gods.

[Spok]

I’ve never been to Hawaii but I’ve heard enough horror stories firsthand to know not to bother. The mentality of contemporary thinking on racism is that only white skinned people can be racist and all other minorities may pracice it freely and without hesitation. Liberal thought has done nothing for racial equality but create a false sense of security and achievement that only aggravates the problem.

[R. Scott]

Hate crime? No, just the normal interaction between haole and kamaaina.
I was stationed there for several years. It wasn’t long before I began to have the kamaaina attitude toward tourists. Tourists seem to act snotty toward locals everywhere, but the further they are from home the worst they seem to become. Some of the mainland tourists in Hawaii were the worst of the worst. While I was attending a beach party on the Waianae Coast with locals - not a tourist area at the time - tourists tried to invite themselves, just as if it was a tourist luao at a Waikiki hotel. When we told them they weren’t welcome the got mad and couldn’t understand it. I could make a list, but it would be far too long to post.
While this couple might not have done anything to warrant the attack, I can understand it.

The family should go to Samoa and see what island racism is really like. There's a whole lot of stink-eye in those islands. Beautiful place largely filled with ignorant and hateful people. Doesn't matter if it's a five year old or a 50 year old, you're going to have trouble. I've dissuaded quite a few people from visiting there after my visit in 04. I tell ‘em to go to Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga or the Cook Islands if they want a beautiful experience. Never go to Samoa.

[HD1200]

On Maui our last trip we were warned not to go hiking in the high country becasue of drug growers.

Now I wonder if it really wasn’t the knowledge the “natives” would attack us on the trails.

We have vacationed in Hawaii 5 times over the years. I was just looking at a map this AM and thinking about another winter trip there.

This story completely took my breath away. I don’t think we will be going on vacation to Hawaii anymore.

[RoshYisrael]

Everyone I ever met that lived there says that there is so much prejudice against white people.

[freekitty]

Hawaii has been known to be racist for many years.

[truthguy]

This is why I like the Caribbean. I tell my friends to try out some of the islands in the Caribbean. It's a much more friendly place in my opinion. If you go to the right places they are happy to see a white face. If you spend just a small amount of money they will treat you like a king.

Even though I live in California, I'll travel east when I want a tropical vacation. Screw Hawaii.

[jagusafr]

Surely this isn’t a surprise to anybody - my cousin went to high school there and said that the last day of school was unofficially “Kill a Haole Day”.
