What on earth does my ethnicity have to do with anything? Why is that important to you? Are you a racist? Do you believe the government should pass laws controlling what you can say in your private life? And why are you using the word "haole" when you have nothing to do with the Hawaiian culture? Cut the pretense and talk how you normally do.
Some people discriminate against others because of their ethnicity. I am not one of them. During WWII American citizens some of whom lived in Hawaii and who happened to also be Japanese or even part Japanese were interned.
I know the meaning of the discriminatory term haole because my daughter, son-in-law and grandson lived in Hawaii for five years. Being white, they were haole.
How can the average person know who is or isn't an illegal immigrant? The answer is they can't know. They assume this because person looks different and/or speaks a different language. Currently, the focus is on people who illegally enter this country when they cross the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Most of them appear to be Latino. Not all South American people living in U.S. are here illegally.
Yes, I believe there should continue to be laws against slander and defamation of character. Laws are proposed and enacted by legislators (the government).
How do I normally talk in your opinion?
