Haole

A word for outsiders or more often "white" .

There are some over sensitive "local" types who get off on acting like a victim where they whine about their life when they have nothing really to complain about and they decide to take it out on foreigners due to xenophobia and outright racism. So haole is used by victim mentality locals who want to blame all outsiders for their problems in life instead of taking personal responsibility for themselves. You will see this expressed in the casual context definitions where the word "haole" is used in a "derogatory" way by locals who mistakenly delude themselves into believing Hawaii is still a kingdom when in fact it is a U.S. STATE.
