people here are no different than anywhere else, except for the fact that a lot of them think theyre better in some way. deeper or more enlightened, relaxed, or friendly. that just isnt true. people everywhere are friendly, and anyone who thinks people in hawaii are better or more relaxed maybe havent been to a smaller city on the mainland.. im not sure.
hawaii has just as many problems with crime, racism, poverty, etc. as any other city. locals dont realize it mostly, but there is a lot of prejudice. asians look down on whites, whites look down on polynesians, and polynesians hate the whites. i dated a 3rd generation local but full japanese girl whos grandmother hated the idea of her dating a white boy. my japanese friend has grandparents who are the same way, and even he admits he wouldnt like the idea of his daughter or sister (if he had one) dating a white guy.
sorry.. i just dont like it when people think theyre somehow better or have more harmony and soul than mainland people because theyre locals.
what's the art walk?
