If you have some suggestions I'm happy to consider them or pass them along.
Thatʻs okay, I've met and chatted with Mark Dunkerley several times over the years and if he can't succeed in making Hawaiian Airlines "more Hawaiian", it's unlikely that you'd be any more successful at it.
Perhaps getting Hawaiian out of and staying out of bankruptcy is a higher priority for him. Just perhaps.
Perhaps. However, before we venture any further on this "Hawaiian Airlines" tangent, let's get back to the "social tips on moving to Hawaiʻi."

Like "Asians", "Caucasians" are quite diverse. There are differences between a "Caucasian" of mostly Irish ancestry that was born and raised in Hawaiʻi and a "Caucasian" of mostly Italian ancestry that was born and raised in San Francisco. In many instances, the place where a person was raised can have a greater cultural and social impact than one's race and/or ethnicity.

Sorry everyone, but I gotta troll here for a minute. I was lurking on this forum b/c we were considering a move to HI, but a little thing called a "baby" got in the way.
Hawaiian by Heart: You are seriously coming off like a schizophrenic. You are talking in circles. I read through this whole thread and was slapping my head after reading your posts. You attack Whtviper when he responds to a thread and you don't like his response. New flash: this is City-Data FORUM. The legal definition of forum (thanks Wikipedia!) is a designated space for public expression in the United States. If you don't want his opinion, find a different venue. Or maybe name your threads something like "Everyone but Whtviper share your chicken skin goose bump talkstories" and you won't have to accuse him of following you around C-D to pee on your campfire.
The haole thing. It's pretty easy to read between the lines that you don't like the white man coming over to "your" (I'm using that term loosely, since you don't live there) land and taking over, but, you never mention the Asian invasion. IMO there is more of an Asian influence on the Hawaiian culture then Western. I don't know if you realize, but the biggest reason for the haole taking your land was Hawaii's strategic military position. It's just a bonus it's a beautiful piece of rock. Sorry, is wasn't to bulldoze your grass huts to build a Starbucks.
P.S. - Please learn the difference between your, you're, there, their, and they're.
Hmmm, nothing wrong with opinions or negative opinions. But there is a line between expressing negatively and harassment. Another words, how many times or ways can you say you don't like what someone posts before it just becomes harassment? Further, your way out of bounds on the making this a racist issue on my part (it obvious that you didn't read my threads or don't understand them?) I would say the racist is viper because he said there is no other culture in Hawai'i then mainland western culture. Further, i have no issue with asian culture or asians because for the most part you bruddahs have an ideal of we instead of I, for the most part you respect ohana and community. I haven't seen an asian culture wipe out a nation of people to the point of extinction and total loss of language etc. And continue to try to this very day, all in the name of profit. Haole to me isn't racist or based on skin color, but attitudes and ideals make someone haole in my book. Mahalo Aloha
The aboriginal culture of Hawaii is Polynesian. Hawaii represents the northernmost extension of the vast Polynesian triangle of the south and central Pacific Ocean. While traditional Hawaiian culture remains only as vestigesin modern Hawaiian society, there are reenactments of the ceremonies and traditions throughout the islands. Some of these cultural influences are strong enough to affect the United States at large, including the popularity (in greatly modified form) of luaus and hula.
In case one needs help with vestiges:
Basically - only a trace of something that is no longer in existence.
If one wants to say, Hawaii has a more diverse culture than let us say, St. Louis - one could argue that point.

Nearly all traditional cultures remain only as vestiges in modern cultures. Some anthropologists use an artificial "traditional/modern" dichotomy as a heuristic device. However, such a dichotomy tends to overlook the fact that most "traditional" cultures were evolving into "modern" ones. Few cultures remain static or exist in a vacuum.

We just got back to Oregon last night and the one thing we have noticed today is that this place is infested with white people! They are everywhere!!!
We enjoy the diversity of Hawaii.
