as i wrote weeks ago regarding countless comments over at the dispatch- calling someone haole ain’t no biggie, it’s when the ‘other’ word is tossed in there that it becomes not only offensive but racist too.

you’ll see in my intial comment here that i did not say YOU used that term, and being i wasn’t at the harbor that day that i’d take you at your word that you didn’t. what i did say was judging by your numerous comments back then, it seemed to infer you thought ragging on those visitors with such language was just fine.

if you took it as anything more than a braddah drawing a conclusion, then i regret the error.

anyways, it’s been great discussing this with you.

my hope is that yourself and the majority of the protesters and the likes of mkklolo, findingthebalance and a bunch of haoles can seek to find common ground on some issues that REALLY will affect the lonely isle- maybe the windmill issue and the preservation of the monk seals would be a good starting point.

aloha.

that makes you not a ‘little’ racist, it makes you a run-of-the-mill one.
