"Samoans don't like Micronesians because they are Macronesians." Almost lost my shit.

Enjoying local talk. My 5 yr old hapa haole nephew came home one day many years ago and said to his haole auntie (me), .... look what I can say. He then spoke in Pidgin to me very proudly. I grinned and said can you teach looked up and said NO! Next I asked him how am I going to learn which point he said you have to listen. End of conversation. Mahalo so we can listen and learn for those of us who love Hawaii.

I was stationed on Oahu from 1985-1988. Loved the locals and respected them and their history. Tried pakalolo once but huli-huli chicken many times! Loved your video. Mahalo!

I grew up listening to my mom’s side of the family speak Pidgin! They’ve all passed now but it’s so refreshing to hear it spoken again! Thank You so much for sharing this! Mahalo Nui!

LMAO... this is Andy Bumatai.... a COMDIAN. This is comedy folks. Some here is taking this seriously. He's speaking truths, but it's done with comedy in mind.

Thank you so much, AndyHana Hou, Andy!!! From Steve, a Japanese local boy living in LA, but on home leave from Brazil, where I been serving 22 years, living and speaking the real portagee!!

[fedexairbus]

Lol. Germany is where they make the haole. That's just awesome.

[Queen_Coda]

I grew up in Hawaii, but I lost my accent when I moved to the USA. Thank you for these videos my friend, I hope to get my accent back and relive my childhood life

[namastezen]

Mahalo, for giving us the straight scoop, Andy. Aloha

[albdamned]

I grew up dealing with the word Haole, it was an interesting experience when I moved to Maryland, in a county where African Americans made up the majority of the population. He's right about how most people with treat you as local as soon as you start speaking. LOL he is also right about getting into scraps, I remember quite a few until I shot up like a been stalk. I remember my mom (who was military) getting bad service where ever she would go, to the point where I would do all the talking at restaurant, shops, etc. There's a small percentage of people that don't make the distinction and it is sad.

wonderful sharing of local humor, ethnicities, and pidgin!

[JarmanInternational]

Thank you! I always try to explain about local haole. You made me feel happy about getting the lickins at Aiea Intermediate :)

[malcolmorrall]
