If I get a chance I will take pictures of the blatent Racism towards Whites in Hawaii Thats to be expected, i doubt they are very much liked. Are these outsiders? Or just white.

Tourists and new residents especially, but whites in general.

Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of nice Hawaiians, quite a few are friends of mine (Kulia if you remember her), but a fair share of them are about as narrowminded as the KKK.

Wrong.  Not true.  Some colleges give extra admission points to minorities, but the SAT scores are neutral.

Individual test items are routinely discarded when they are statistically disfavorable to one group or another, but that is a different matter...

too lazy for quote button... Zesty said, "If you, as a Mexican person, feel it is your right to disrespect my entire race, then I feel I should be able to say whatever I want about your race without being labeled a racist. Fair is fair."

That just makes you both racists, assuming you mean what you are saying.  Racism is an attitude and a belief system, not a form of retaliation.  Words may reflect beliefs, but they do not create them.

Sorry Clark, but I fail to see any relevance in this link.

My point: In every state in this country, including Hawaii, whites (as a group) do all right.  They aren't always the richest group, but they are NEVER the poorest, and not by a long shot. In Hawaii, there are twice as many poor Pacific Islanders as there are poor whites.  That race advantage is even bigger in other states.  Whites as a group are never disadvantaged.  Not even in Hawaii, which arguably is more part of Japan than the US. My point is this:  If God picked you up, and said "ok, do-over time.  You are going to be reborn (literally) back on your original birthday.  I will pick a random location within the US, and a random social class, and a random family, and a random body with random intellect, but you get to pick your new race.  Choose now." Putting aside any sentimental preferences for the moment - based solely on the overall life advantage of being of one race versus another, white would be the only logical choice.  If you think being able to use "n1gger" with immunity, and the occasional affirmative action, makes up for the tremendous advantages that whites have in this country, you haven't looked around enough.

Economic status plays no role in the racism towards whites in Hawaii, well a slight one, but its all about Hawaii's history.

As some of you may know, over 100 years ago a group of American bussinessmen overthrew the queen and were responsible for the annexation of Hawaii.  They did this because of the tax on Sugar being imported into the United States.

Because these bussinessmen overthrew the queen they hold a deep grudge towards whites.  It doesnt stop there.  Because Hawaiians had no exposure to diseases like Europeans, they became infected easily and many died from diseses brought with explorers and missionaries.  Because of European influence the Hawaiian people began to die out

Now, its been over 100 years, Whites certainetly did not intend for so much loss towards Hawaiians, but it happened.  Its different there, the only whites in Hawaii that are racist towards Hawaiians are like that because of racism towards them.  You can argue all you want about how its the same as it is on the mainland, but it is not.  It may be similar, but it is not the same.

If they get a black history week how come I dont get a white history week.

Tae is being sarcastic, because someone else will probably end up saying that.

Yeah. I thought you knew me better, Clark.

well, im not racist, but the black people and the hicks at my school are always fighting.  Not because of race, but because the hicks will be nice to 'em (because the hicks at my school are actually really nice people, the basset ive ever met...like the type of guy you'd want to storm the beach on D-Day with) and the black people freak out and say "ZOMGORZ U AR3 JUST BEING NICE CAS IM BLACK YO!!1!!1!1!!"

I asked a black dude why they played the race card ALL the time and he said "I don't know, were raised that way, out parents kind of always blamed white people for everything so we just kind of got raised like that."

So pretty much its not REALLY the new generation's fault. Of course, it is in a way for not stoping the chain, but its really past generation's fault for passing hate on.  Something  can be done to stop racism, just don't talk about it.  I know its one of those "dont talk aobut it and it will go away" things.  But its true, just leave it.  Its not  worth the time and energy.  People who play the race card do it for attention.  Just like little kids scream and yell and cry for attention.   If we ignore it, they'll stop and we'll all live happily ever after.

Keep in mind im not trying to sound racist, but i hate it when people play the race card.  I actually got jumped for saying this to a group of black people while they were harassing me.  Thank god for police patrol...thats all i have to say.
