There is indeed plenty of anti-white racism in Hawai'i...on the individual/ideological level. What there is not, however, is racist oppression against "whites" in Hawai'i. This is exactly the kind of risk of losing perspective I'm concerned with.
If one mentions antiwhite racism in Hawai'i and just leaves it at that, then it is viewed largely as an irrational, bigoted, pathetic form of pathology (which of course IT IS).
However, if one mentions antiwhite racism in Hawai'i and then includes basic context -- like the fact that white imperialists invaded Hawai'i and took it over through an alliance among businessmen, missionaries, and U.S. military forces, or that Kanaka Maoli are today the poorest and least powerful people in Hawai'i at the bottom of most indices of personal and community health -- then antiwhite racism in Hawai'i is still correctly viewed as pathological and irrational, but the far, far larger systemic problem of racist oppression against nonwhites and against the indigenous population in particular grounds one's understanding of the situation in historical reality. This context actually offers practical directions for possible construction answers to antiwhite racism -- namely, personal and systemic recognition of the imperial/colonial situation -- as opposed to keeping things couched in personal terms (in which case the racism involved -- in any direction -- is falsely confined to notions of personal irrationalities).
This is NOT to suggest or imply that one must refrain from discussing antiwhite racism in its own right (imposing a presumptive requirement that racist oppression privileging whites must always be mentioned), but instead to point out that antiwhite racism in Hawai'i is not some random bizarre thing which popped into existence out of nowhere...it has a clear historical and reactive cause.
On a personal note, through my mother's side of the family I am descended from Hawai'ian nobility. Were it not for the U.S. conquest of Hawai'i and the subsequent waves of missionaries and businessmen stealing property and demolishing communities, my mother's side of the family would still hold substantial land in Hawai'i. I look "white" myself and so that's how I get treated, and I've found that when I am in Hawai'i some basic cultural competency goes a long way, but of course one will always encounter at least a few people who just don't get it, or who have lost the ability to distinguish between group and individual. In the larger scheme of things, however, I recognized, and still recognize, that my occasional personal inconvenience as a "white" person in a conquered/occupied colonial state is dwarfed by my privilege there. As De La Rocha of RATM once summarized the colonizer's orientation to the conquered land:
we'll kill them off
take their land
and go their for vacation
While I'm pretty sure neither of us has personally killed off any native population, any "white" person visiting or living in Hawai'i still has all kinds of political and social privileges nonwhites can only dream of. This doesn't excuse antiwhite racism, but some sense of proportion and humility is definitely called for.
