great post....

here is more on the topic..

Quote:
The legal basis for the establishment of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) is the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended (HHCA). Passed by Congress and signed into law by President Warren Harding on July 9, 1921 (chapter 42, 42 Stat. 108), the HHCA provides for the rehabilitation of the native Hawaiian people through a government-sponsored homesteading program. Native Hawaiians are defined as individuals having at least 50 percent Hawaiian blood.

Really???

At over 20% of the population, Kailua on Oahu represents more than double the average Native Hawaiian population for other communities.

Unless you are suggesting Native Hawaiians don't like other Native Hawaiians in Kailua - then that is a different discussion.

37 years ago the anti-whitey sentiment was alive and well and "kill Haole" day was very much "celebrated". I'm confident that hasn't changed on Oahu.....the big island seemed to be the most friendly....relatively speaking....kind of funny watching the influx of Asians who are driving the locals crazy with their ambitions and cash.....and all this time they were afraid of the whites! Hah.....

This time, Japan took it over and never fired a shot....

Funny, I walked into a store in Waikiki and was greeted in Japanese.

And I'm Mainland Filipino-American but look local, get the "local discount" too!

Shoots!

If it weren't for the myriad of set asides for Hawaiians, many would be fat bloated whales basking on a beach. Unemployment is what, 5k a month now? Preferential treatment for guvmint' jobs and open discrimination against whites in the workforce. It was that way 37 years ago and still pervades today...braddduh.

Beautiful place to visit just don't stay too long. The japs have taken it over which frankly, is an improvement. It's not he friendliest place on earth and no one should think it is. Not for a second. We used to attend classes on base about keeping a low profile which most did if they had half a brain. Some didn't and were beat to a pulp.

Those that were stationed at Pearl a harbor had to be particularly careful. In 1980 some Hawaiian youth boarded a bus, threw acid in a sailors face and nooooooo one came forth when the cops came. No witnesses if you will. Another time they fashioned a crude mace using a baseball bat with nails driven through it and beat another sailor half to death and severely hurt another. Aeai, and other areas west are not friendly.

The only thing that turned that around was the island was locked down for a month. No one could leave any base. That starvation of cash usually sucked in on the 15th and the 30th (military paydays) calmed things a bit and who knows, maybe some moke had to sit down and watch tv for awhile.

That was quite some time ago. My guess now is the Japanese have to deal with "the locals" and have probably developeda disdain for them as well. Can't imagine how the Hawaiians would do if they could no longer discriminate as openly as they do. That and kill all their federal set asides. Wouldn't be pretty.

No, it's not all that friendly and for the two years I lived there, I kept a very low profile and never had an incident with them. Never developed an friendships with them and I did try. A friend married one in Kaneohe and her entire family was living on the dole. They made out fine. My guess was they were selling weed for extra cash through him and between the two lived a moderate life of leisure.

Kaneohe was actually easier. Kailua had a fair share of military retirees. Kaneohe MCAS has one of the nicest beaches on the island and great night diving. Beats Honolulu.

I have to admit, my encounters with Japanese tourists (around Haleiwa) were less than friendly. They DO look down on you, and can be pretty snotty and rude.
