All of my relatives in Hawaii were and are prejudiced big time against haoles. I have cousins who were badasses in their day and would look for an excuse to thump on a white dude. To this day the locals mostly hate hippies and military guys but any haole who shows even a tiny bit of disrespect better hope the wrong guy didn't see it hear it. That haole guy who threw the rock at the monk seal recently found that out the hard way. If i were him i wouldn't ever return to any island because his face was all over the news. On the other hand, the aloha spirit is equally alive and well as long as you behave like a respectful guest.
And the Indians? There are 2 kinds, the dots and the feathers. I told that to a friend of mine who is full blooded native American and added "and you're a feather". He laughed at the joke because he's thick skinned and has a sense of humor
