Re: sending my "haole" children to Hawaii's schools
Posted by aaronbowen on 7/20/05


    "What really worries me, though, is the prospect
    of sending my two little, innocent "haole" children to
    school where they may be hated, teased because of their
    color (my daughter is so white she's practically blue!)"

    I went to a elementary school in southern california that was
    mostly mexican. I grew up in a neighborhood that was mostly
    mexican.Refered to as the "BARRIO". Here i am refered to
    as "GRINGO" AND "WHITE BOY".Thats fine with me because thats
    what I am. There is no changing that. I have also come to
    accept that the mexican culture refers to white people that
    way and living amongst the mexican culture what else could I
    expect. I am planning to move to Oahu (wherever section I
    feel like moving to) after Christmas. I fully expect and look
    foward to being refered to as "HAOLE" because thats what the
    Hawaiian culture calls foriegners and thats what I am. Bottom
    line. As far as violence goes, just like here in So. Cal, if
    you show respect, keep your mouth shut, and don't act like a
    bad ass, I should be alright. See ya'll when I get there.
    Peace.
