    'Kill Haole Day'

    http://www.hawaiireporter.com/bullying-in-hawaii-a-state-of-denial

    On Dec. 31, 2008, the U.S. Department of Education released a report that concluded there was "substantial evidence that Caucasian students experienced racially and sexually derogatory name-calling on nearly a daily basis on school buses, at school bus stops, in school hallways and other areas of the school."

    The epithets included names such as "f*****g haole," "haole c**t" and "haole whore," according to the report. Students were told "go home" and "you don't belong here." Most of the slurs were directed by "local" or non-white students at Caucasians, especially those who were younger, smaller, light-skinned and blond.

    The report also concluded that school officials responded inadequately or not at all when students complained of racial harassment. Students who did complain were retaliated against by their antagonists."

    beneath the idyllic scenery.....
    exists something not so scenic.

    tons of loonies, domestic violence pervasive.

    anybody remember the pro surfer (i don't but remember the story) who lost himself and
    his whole family to the neighbor who was fed-up with the kids bouncing basketballs?

    You might become a tad resentful if your language, culture, and the sport of surfing were banned in your neighborhood by a foreign power.
