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.
"Get off the fucking island you fucking haole"
"Da bruddahs in Waipio will "take care of" that fucking haole. He better watch his ass after dark.
"Yah, we kicked his haole ass befo we tookum to jail"- HPD Big Island (Puna) bragging about excessive use of force on vulnerable populations around Pahoa.

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?

A Hawaiian term for a white person, with the exception of Portuguese people. A haole (not to be confused with ha'ole, meaning "without breath"; ha, breath + 'ole, without) does not mean without breath, but instead means "foreigner". Usually, the term "haole" is taken offensively by white people, as they consider it derogatory, but usually, it is not meant to be derogatory from locals from Hawaii.
Haoles do not include Asians and Pacific Islanders, and rarely refer to African Americans and Portuguese people. Some Portuguese people may take offense if you call them haole.
Non-offensively:
Keahi: Eh, braddah, you saw dat haole walking down Pearlridge?
Makana: Eh, haole boy, how you stay?
Offensively:
Pono: You frickin' haole! Who you think you are, king of the 'aina? Thinking you're the center of everything... don't be lolo.
Calling a Portuguese haole:
John: Well, why isn't Robert a haole? He's Portuguese, so technically he's white right?
Robert: I'm not a frickin' haole. I'm a hapa; I'm Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Irish.

Haole (or Howlee as I like to spell it) is a bastardization of a Hawaiian word meaning foreigner (literally "without breath"). The correct pronunciation of the Hawaiian word haole is (ha-o-lay).
It can be derogatory depending on usage.
Eh, brah, you wen spock da haole chick ova dea?
Eh, haole shit, like false crack?
So haole, your hairstyle!
Mos' Hawaiians get some haole.

an Hawaiian term rarely used by Hawaiians....Hawaiians actually like white people...most of them are white
when used by non-Hawaiians...it is often a derogatory term from non-hawaiian outsiders that want to show that they belong or are local...
