"Haoles, go home!"
Sep 13, 2007, 3:31 PM

One evening last week my SO and I were parked off Kuhio Highway at the
overlook that looks west out over Hanalei Bay so I could take sunset
photos. Soon, a few other tourists had showed up to do the same thing. A
few minutes later, a white pickup carrying surfboards drove by, and a
girl inside yelled "Haoles, go home!"

I thought it kind of amusing and sad at the same time. I totally
understand where the natives (I'm using this word in its true sense, not
pejoratively) come from, but on the other hand, tourism makes up a huge
part of the local economy, and without us many of the locals would lead
quite different, probably harder and more difficult, lives.

This was the only unpleasant experience on our trip. I didn't take it
very seriously, although it did make me think, and I understand that
sometimes there can be real tension between the "natives" and the
"foreigners".

If you read this and are contemplating a visit to Kaua'i, these
situations are rare and not too serious, but they really make you think,
the same way I think about the plight of Native Americans here in the
Southwest.

We were on Kauai this past October. At the Menehune Fishpond Overlook
there is a placard that describes the fish that were/are typically found
there. Scribed in dark black permanent marker over the faded placard
were the exact same words: "Haoles Go Home!"

As others have posted here, I assume this fancy writing was induced by
some kind of alcohol-ladened drink.

Haole
Word that meth-addicted, illiterate, shit-for-brains locals use when
they need a convenient scapegoat to blame for their impotence.

Most commonly used by hapa people with only a drop of Hawaiian blood,
who somehow think they are descended from sea-faring god-kings.

Ironically, the people who use this word the most, are part haole
themselves, and therefore hate themselves.

I.E. the race card... to be played whenever things don't go EXACTLY
their way.
It's racism pure and simple.
Funny that the one of the most genetically diverse group of people is
also one of the most racist.
Bumbye the Haoles get off da aina, dey gon take: da wheel, da recipe fo'
make frozen watah, da TV, da computahs, all dey money, da recipe fo'
make beer, etc.etc....

Haoles in Hawaii

by Judy Rohrer

Publication Year: 2010
Haoles in Hawai"i strives to make sense of haole (white person/whiteness
in Hawai"i) and "the politics of haole" in current debates about race in
Hawai"i. Recognizing it as a form of American whiteness specific to
Hawai"i, the author argues that haole was forged and reforged over two
centuries of colonization and needs to be understood in that context.
Haole reminds us that race is about more than skin color as it
identifies a certain amalgamation of attitude and behavior that is at
odds with Hawaiian and local values and social norms. By situating haole
historically and politically, the author asks readers to think about
ongoing processes of colonization and possibilities for reformulating
the meaning of haole. show less

For years, Hawaiians have avoided talk of race and hate crimes. That
doesn't mean the island state doesn't have a problem

Celia Padron went on a Hawaiian vacation last year, lured by the
prospect of beautiful beaches and friendly people. She, her husband and
two teenage daughters enjoyed the black sand beach at Makena State Park
on Maui. But a Hawaiian girl accosted her two teenage daughters, saying,
"Go back to the mainland" and "Take your white ass off our beaches,"
says Padron, a pediatric gastroenterologist in New Jersey.

When her husband, 68 at the time, stepped between the girls, three young
Hawaiian men slammed him against a vehicle, cutting his ear, and choked
and punched him, Padron says. Police officers persuaded the Padrons not
to press charges, saying it would be expensive for them to return for
court appearances and a Hawaiian judge would side with the Hawaiian
assailants, the doctor contends.

"There is no doubt in my mind [the attack] was racially motivated," she
adds.

With no known hate groups and a much-trumpeted spirit of aloha or
tolerance, few people outside Hawaii realize the state has a racism
issue. One reason: The tourism-dependent state barely acknowledges hate
crimes. That makes it hard to know how often racial violence is directed
at Caucasians, who comprise about 25% of the ethnically diverse state's
1.3 million residents. Those who identify themselves as Native Hawaiian
€” most residents are of mixed race €” account for nearly 20%.

Hawaii has collected hate crimes data since 2002 (most states began
doing so a decade earlier). In the first six years, the state reported
only 12 hate crimes, and half of those were in 2006. (All other things
being equal, the state would be expected to have more than 800 such
crimes annually, given the size of its population, according to a
federal government study of hate crimes.) There was anti-white bias in
eight of those incidents. But that doesn't begin to reflect the extent
of racial rancor directed at non-Native Hawaiians in the Aloha State,
especially in schools. For example:

The last day of school has long been unofficially designated "Kill
Haole Day," with white students singled out for harassment and violence.
(Haole €” pronounced how-lee €” is slang for a foreigner, usually white,
and sometimes is used as a racial slur.)
A non-Native Hawaiian student who challenged the
Hawaiian-preference admission policy at a wealthy private school
received a $7 million settlement this year.
A 12-year-old white girl new to Hawaii from New York City needed 10
surgical staples to close a gash in her head incurred when she was
beaten in 2007 by a Native Hawaiian girl who called her a "****ing haole."
A vocal segment of Native Hawaiians is pushing for independence to
end the "prolonged occupation" by the United States and governance by
natives.
Demonstrators shouting racial epithets at whites disrupted a
statehood celebration in 2006.

Anti-white sentiments such as these have been more than 200 years in the
making. The pivotal event occurred when American and European
businessmen, backed by U.S. military forces, overthrew Hawaii's monarch
in 1893 and placed her under house arrest two years later. The United
States annexed the islands as a territory in 1898, and they became a
state in 1959.

Little wonder then that as Hawaii prepares to observe the 50th
anniversary of becoming the 50th state on Aug. 21, it will a muted
celebration, devoid of parades or fireworks.

Classroom Warfare
Tina Mohr has lived in Hawaii for 25 years. She has Native Hawaiian
friends. But in the 2003-04 school year, her twin blond-haired
daughters, aged 11 at the time, began getting harassed by Native
Hawaiian kids at their school on the Big Island. "Our daughters would
come home with bruises and cuts," she tells the Intelligence Report.

One of her girls was assaulted twice in the same day. In one scuffle,
she had her head slammed into a wall, and her attacker continued to
threaten her. Her daughter suffered a dislocated jaw and had headaches
for five weeks, Mohr says.

The torment continued in the summer between 5th and 6th grades. Native
Hawaiian girls stalked and threatened her daughters and yelled "****ing
haole" at them. Midway through the 6th grade, Mohr began to home-school
her daughters.

She filed a complaint with the civil rights division of the U.S.
Department of Education in 2004. It was only recently, on Dec. 31, 2008,
that the division finally released its report. The report concluded
there was "substantial evidence that students experienced racially and
sexually derogatory name-calling on nearly a daily basis on school
buses, at school bus stops, in school hallways and other areas of the
school" that Mohr's children attended.

The epithets included names such as "f*****g haole," "haole c**t" and
"haole whore," according to the report. Students were told "go home" and
"you don't belong here." Most of the slurs were directed by "local" or
non-white students at Caucasians, especially those who were younger,
smaller, light-skinned and blond.

The report also concluded that school officials responded inadequately
or not at all when students complained of racial harassment. Students
who did complain were retaliated against by their antagonists. "They
learned not to report this stuff," Mohr says of her own daughters.

The Hawaii Department of Education settled Mohr's complaint with a
lengthy agreement in which educators promised to take various steps to
improve the reporting, investigating and eliminating of student
harassment in the future. Today, Mohr's daughters are again attending
the school where they used to have trouble. They haven't been assaulted,
but one was threatened on a school bus earlier this year.

Racial Legacies
The resentment some Native Hawaiians feels toward whites today can be
chalked up in part to "ancestral memory," says Jon Matsuoka, dean of the
School of Social Work at the University of Hawaii. "That trauma is
qualitatively different than other ethnic groups in America. It's more
akin to American Indians" because Hawaiians had their homeland invaded,
were exposed to diseases for which they had no immunity, and had an
alien culture forced upon them, he says. Stories about the theft of
their lands and culture have been passed down from one generation to the
next, Matsuoka adds. (One difference now, of course, is that Native
Hawaiians in Hawaii are far more numerous than American Indians are in
their own ancestral regions, where the Indians remain politically weak
and largely marginalized by the far larger white population.)

Racial violence directed at whites in Hawaii, while deplorable, is minor
compared to the larger issues underlying it, Matsuoka says. The Hawaiian
spirit of aloha "is pervasive, but you have to earn aloha. You don't
necessarily trust outsiders, because outsiders [historically] come and
have taken what you have. It's an incredibly giving and warm and
generous place, but you have to earn it," he says.

Further fueling the resentment that some Native Hawaiians feel for
outsiders are attempts by the latter to usurp entitlement programs given
the former to redress previous wrongs. In recent years, non-native
residents have used the courts to try and rescind these entitlements on
grounds that they are racially discriminatory and violate the U.S.
Constitution.

Kenneth Conklin

Retired professor and "anti-sovereign" white activist Kenneth Conklin
and others prevailed in a lawsuit in 2000 that challenged a requirement
that trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs €” OHA €” be of Native
Hawaiian descent. OHA oversees huge tracts of lands that the United
States took from Hawaii when it annexed the islands as a territory, and
collects revenues from them for programs that benefit Native Hawaiians.

The state government was going to sell 1.2 million acres of these lands
to developers for two state-sponsored affordable housing projects when
OHA and four Native Hawaiian plaintiffs sued to stop the deal. A state
court sided with the government, but the Hawaii Supreme Court reversed
in favor of the plaintiffs. This March 31, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
unanimously that the Hawaii high court erred and sent the case back for
further action.

There also was an unsuccessful legal challenge to the Hawaiian Homes
Commission Act, passed by Congress in 1921. The act allows a Hawaiian
agency to make 99-year leases at $1 per year to Native Hawaiians (but
not other residents) for authorized uses on lands ceded to the United
States when it annexed Hawaii. More than 200,000 acres of land were
designated for uses such as homes and ranches.

One of the more protracted legal battles involved a lawsuit filed in
2003 by a non-Native Hawaiian student against the hugely wealthy and
influential private Kamehameha Schools. Kamehameha operates three
campuses for the benefit of children of Hawaiian ancestry. The student's
attorneys contended that violates civil rights laws. As the U.S. Supreme
Court was about to announce last year whether it would hear the case,
Kamehameha paid $7 million to settle it out of court.

'A Hateful Place'
A violent incident with racial overtones in 2007 near Pearl Harbor
prompted a good deal of soul searching about race in Hawaii. A Native
Hawaiian man and his teenage son brutally pummeled and kicked a
Caucasian soldier and his wife near Pearl Harbor after the soldier's SUV
struck the other man's parked car. The son shouted "****ing haole" while
attacking the soldier. The husband and wife suffered broken noses,
facial fractures and concussions. A prosecutor said the assault was a
road-rage incident, not a hate crime. But it generated much debate on
newspaper websites and blogs about the use of the word haole and whether
whites are the targets of racism in Hawaii.

"It is a hateful place to live if you are white," wrote a woman on one
Hawaii website's comments section. A Hawaii native who is white wrote,
"Racism exists in Hawaii. My whole life I've never really felt welcome
here." A sailor stationed at Pearl Harbor added that "this island is the
most racist place I have ever been in my life."

Other white residents, however, wrote that they had had no such
experiences. And many people maintained that arrogant mainlanders are
the most likely to incur natives' wrath. It's their "cultural inability
to be humble [that] is a huge contributing factor in a lot of violence
against them," one person wrote. "There is a high degree of arrogance
and lack of respect that mainlanders exhibit," added another.

A Hawaiian Studies professor at the University of Hawaii, Haunani-Kay
Trask, is one of the most caustic critics of whites in the islands. In
her 1999 book, From A Native Daughter, Trask wrote: "Just as €¦ all
exploited peoples are justified in feeling hostile and resentful toward
those who exploit them, so we Hawaiians are justified in such feelings
toward the haole. This is the legacy of racism, of colonialism."
