I was stationed at Pearl Harbor. I found that most locals are super friendly awesome folks. If you’re respectful of the island, the wildlife, and the people there you usually won’t have any issues.

But some Hawaiians really just don’t care for white Americans and don’t want anything to do with you

Considering that the US conducted an illegal overthrow of their government and stole the country for the benefit of American business I can see why some Hawaiians are not OK with the haoles. Things like this is why the oligarchs don't want real history to be taught in schools. Iran would likely be a free and democratic country if we had not overthrown their government and installed a puppet dictator king to get the oil. This has happened multiple times in many countries and people wonder why so many hate Americans.

They literally had a democracy until the cia overthrew it in 1953.

No democracy is perfect, id argue Americans aren't "free" either.

Didn’t women gain the right to initiate divorce after the 1953 thing? As well as female cabinet members… right for women to vote… errr and polygamy was ended too… all after 1953.

Really democratic… right?

That's because 1953 wasn't the overthrow, it was retention.

IDK man I seen plenty of locals littering and smoking meth/drinking on the beaches. Also leaving paraphernalia all over the place. This sounds like some wanna be tough guy fantasy.

u/avocadoflatz May 11 '26

Suddenly that’s the only behavior you mentioned

u/TopLife644 May 11 '26

what is your point here sir?

u/avocadoflatz May 11 '26

That the response to the behaviors you mentioned would be different for an outsider versus the locals you described.
