Not sure about the percentage amount of the person's ethnic background that makes a haole or foreigner.

Let me ask you guys this...do you consider Kelly Boy DeLima from Kapena haole, or is he Portagee???? and do you consider there to be a difference between the two?

From my 100% haole POV, KB is deffinitely a Hawaiian local, no matter what his lineage!

I've heard some people say that, but my local wife says she considers him (and any Portagees) haole...thoughts?

[Ron Whitfield]

...I just cleaned my slippers.

I've heard some people say that, but my local wife says she considers him (and any Portagees) haole...thoughts?I notice this thread keeps coming back to the question: “what is the meaning of the word haole?” There is a thread for that (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?t=1768), so if that is the real question you meant to ask, rather than what your topic implies, I would suggest you take the debate there. ;)

Okay, so I had some time to think about it. After further consideration, I decided to stand by my original post. Famous haole= Duke Aiona. :D

Did anyone mention Laird Hamilton aka Lance Burkhart? I still don't know why he tried to cheat Rick Kane out of a Pipe masters title, that snake.
