I live in honolulu and have been to maui many times..maui isnt how you describe. if you act stupid then yes, be prepared like anywhere else. hawaiian's are the minority for the most part, dont be disrespectful and you'll have a great time. also dont leave any bags in your rental car...
Good, they're minorities. I hope they die out soon.
I don't recall acting stupid. I remember a lot of sneers and a lot of snubs and a lot of shit eye, even just driving down the road. I don't think I went to Maui tho. But why bring up Maui? Is it like I say where you live?
I know I'm The Big Bitter but I have traveled a lot and found no one more unpleasant than Hawaiians. Without exception and to the last man, they were scowling assholes unless I had my wallet in my hand, at which time they were inexplicably good natured. I'm sure they have tourist fatigue but by the time I left I felt about them as they felt about me. Difference is that I'd arrived in a happy, how-ya-doin' mood. Fine, call me racist. They are assholes. I didn't meet the one who wasn't. This probably explains the unwritten segregation that seems to exist in bars there, far as I could tell.
The prime rib at Volcano (whichever one of their stupid islands that's on) was damn good.
