Stephen, the olelo Hawai'i word "haole" is often misinterpreted and almost always misused by those who do not comprehend olelo Hawai'i which is a more contextual and metaphorical language than it is literal.

in most contexts "haole" is meant to describe someone not of our culture or a person foreign to the Hawaiian Kingdom. Hawaiians don't use "haole" as a racial slur unless they have been indoctrinated by the white supremacist racist American culture.
