He’s just an Ahole.
Hmm...rearrange `Ahole’ and you get `Haole’, an ethnic slur in Hawaii meaning white person.
It is dangerous in Hawaii to pretend to be something that ethnically you’re not. It’s already dangerous to be a `haole’ as in their annual “Kill a Haole Day”.
Ed Case is already risking bodily harm from Dah Bruddahs whose right it is to assault any haole they see, with no consequences.
To make things worse, a haole self-identifying as Asian only becomes a member of another group that native Hawaiians also despise, as in “banana: yellow on the outside, white on the inside”.
