and yes, we have our fair share of racists here in Hawaii. In fact the most racist person i have ever met was a local Hawaiian woman that is supposedly a "counselor" and "MSW" (Master Social Worker.) This supposed "professional" went out of her way to deliberately sabotage project after project we were working on to help the non profit she was working for. She deliberately created chaos between myself and the director of the organization we were trying to help, Every time there was a problem (that she manufactured), she blamed us for it. More specifically, she blamed me.
We eventually walked away from the project because she had twisted the directors mind so much, that he started to question everything we did and second guess his every decision. She eventually got HIM fired too. (true story)
About a year later that lady emailed me. she told me straight up that i "deserved" all of the wickedness she created for me "because i am white" and "i took over her islands" - "I should go home"
