1 The actual translation is: with out breath.
Hawaiians when greeting each other would, breath in each others breath (ha: the breath of life) When the Christian's came to HI they did not do that there for they where Haole (with out breath)...
2 It has evolved to just meaning some one not born in Hawaii. Or that you are white. If you are white and born in Hawaii you are a local haole. Yes you can be black and still be a haole.
3 Also most people in Hawaii have 2 or more races more than 75% have some kind of Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or Philippino) and\or Portuguese. Which would make them Hapa-Haole. Mixed
1 That guy did not breath in when I said Aloha.
2 I'm not haole I was born here prick.
3 You seen that hapa haole girl... Cherry eh?
