On with the show.&nbsp;<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiencing Racism in Hawaii<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">I had been warned that many of the native Hawaiians resent white people, known unaffectionately in certain circles as <a aria-label=\"Haoles (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kill_Haole_Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haoles<\/a>, which has a few literal translations, depending on who you talk to. Some Hawaiians have told me it means &#8220;colour of the dead&#8221;, and others have said it means &#8220;without breath&#8221; or &#8220;soulless one&#8221;. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">One could surmise this is simply a physical observation of the white colour of the skin, which would have been foreign and sickly-looking to indigenous Hawaiians on the first arrivals of white people. Others could surmise that &#8220;haole&#8221; is a term of <span lang=\"EN-CA\">resentment, and quite frankly, that resentment is not unfounded! Hawaii&#8217;s history ain&#8217;t pretty, and why it is a part of the United States is beyond me. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">But in my first few weeks here, I saw no signs of this resentment, and my limited dealings with the friendly locals actually debunked the myth in my mind. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">But then I started to see and experience a different side of Hawaii. When standing at the side of the road once, a car full of Hawaiian &#8220;kids&#8221; (mostly adolescents) began jeering out the window, stopped the car, got out and threw things towards us (we were about 50ft away), and even started to run towards us looking for a fight. Lucky for us they spied another car coming and scurried back to their car for a getaway. But who knows what they would have tried to do if that car hadn&#8217;t come; we were well outnumbered and in a pretty remote area.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">A fellow who gave us a ride recently was originally from the mainland (also referred to as the &#8220;meanland&#8221; and &#8220;madland&#8221; depending on who you speak to) but who has lived in Hawaii for over eight years. He said to this day he still gets verbally (and at times physically) abused by the locals. He recalls that learning to surf was a challenge, since every time he got in the water, he was physically taken to task by the locals. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">When we got out of his car, we asked if he wanted us to roll up the passenger window for him. He said he can&#8217;t: there is no window. Last week somebody broke it in the town centre of Pahoa and stole a pack of cigarettes sitting on the front seat. And the irony is he drives a very unique vehicle, so all the locals know it is him &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t just petty theft. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Since then, we have been glared at, stared at, and made attempts at conversation getting nothing but monotonic answers if we were so lucky to get verbal answers at all. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Walking by schools at lunch time is no fun; the kids yell and jeer and call names. &#8220;Go home, get outta here, Haole!&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">My concern, is that those kids had to learn about racism from somebody, which means at least some of their parents are leaving a legacy of racism and resentment for future generations to carry on.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There Is History Behind It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Like I said, the local native Hawaiians may have good reason to resent white people, and I won&#8217;t delve into those issues here. As Canadians and Caucasians, we are outsiders here, and despite our best efforts to learn about Hawaii&#8217;s history respectfully and integrate ourselves, the average local doesn&#8217;t know that and sees yet another Haole trying to live the easy life on their island. I don&#8217;t blame them or even feel any resentment for this.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I&#8217;ve Learned From It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">What these lessons ring home for me is a whole new level of respect and admiration for others, historically and presently, who have sought out a better life and had to do it in the face of racial prejudices. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">I always have stood in awe of immigrants who have left their countries to come to Canada (or the U.S. or any western country for that matter), leaving behind their culture, language, food, family, and familiarity for a better life&#8230;or to escape an unliveable life. To supplant yourself in a completely alien world, to learn new languages, to adjust to new customs, <b>and to do it in the face of racism<\/b> is a monumental challenge. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">It takes courage, self-confidence, patience, persistence, and thick skin. In many ways these pioneers have paved the way for others to follow with less strife and pain. But I&#8217;m sure that was no consolation after coming home from a day of physical and mental abuse. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">I always respected these people, and I have never been the one to judge or point the finger. But having seen the tiniest glimpse of what it is to be on other side of racism has given me all the more respect and admiration for the courageous few. It is an inspiration and to them I say &#8220;hurrah&#8221; and &#8220;thank you&#8221;.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You May Also Like:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/centipede-bites-the-worst-hawaii-has-to-offer\/\"><strong>Centipede Bites: The Worst Hawaii has to Offer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/heaven-hell-panchakarma-reflection-time-india\/\">Heaven and Hell: Panchakarma as a Reflection of (My Time in) India<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-ultimate-packing-list-for-full-time-travel\/\">The Ultimate Packing List for Full-Time or Long-Term Travel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/category\/travel-lifestyle-guides\/\">Travel Lifestyle Guides<\/a> &#8211; everything you need to travel long-term!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having grown up in the most multi-cultural city in the world, I lived amongst people of all races and creeds, beliefs and backgrounds.
