I've never found the locals to "be a problem" although I am only kind of olive-skinned myself. It may take you a while to find a job, but there are lots of things you can volunteer for, depending upon your interests: teaching/tutoring, environmental projects (native plant re-establishment or trailblazing to park clean-ups and rehabs), and lots of social opportunities that will introduce you to the neighborhoods and lots of people.

Read the papers when you get there (or online before) -- The Maui News and The Lahaina News always have local event calendars with calls for people to participate. I'm always shocked at the numbers of hard-working people who will take an entire Saturday or Sunday to pick up litter along the beaches, for instance.

You can also join a paddling club or some other kind of athletic organization, depending upon your interests and skills. These are social as well as competitive, and are a great way to get to know the island and our people.

Best of luck.
