Re: Wow, that was racist

one problem is that many of the haoles that the locals see, day to day, are tourists displaying every bit of the ugly american stereotype. many american tourists have an ugly entitled attitude. they don't treat the people serving them with respect; they don't treat the islands with respect. they demand, they litter, they mock the people and the culture. some locals see this every day and are, perhaps understandibly, jaded in their attitudes against all haoles.

Ugh, this is so true. It's a problem all over the world...it is embarrassing.
