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.

"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.

Haole

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?

Derogatory slang in Hawaii for white person, but was first merely the name for the Caucasian foreigners immigrating to Hawaii in the early 19th century coined by Captain James Cook. Racial tensions are highlighted in Haole Boy: The Adoption of Diversity by Lanakila Michael Achong.

Haole

a Hawaiian word dating back hundred's of years literally meaning 'without breath' or 'immortal one'

after encountering white men and being fooled into believing they were gods, the Hawaiian killed and ate the British explorers

the word is used to identify someone by their skin color now; it's a racial slurr synonymous with the word nigger

not to be confused with the word hau'oli, which means happy

'Hou you haole faka!'

'Some fuckin' haole stay on da wrong side da road, cuz!'

Haole

Used as an insulting term torwards anybody with light skin in Hawaii. It has remained as an insult towards white people even since the culture of the islands has been absorbed by the "hip-hop" culture. I'm personally surprised that all of the locals haven't broken down and started calling us crackers yet.

What, you fuckin haole like some cracks?
