Okay so - we see cars with Hawaii kine stickers and decals, rear view mirror hanging (ikaika, uli uli); people sporting hawaiian design t-shirt (look like aloha flea market kine) - and when we say HI or throw the shaka we get NO Aloha spirit back!
Just last week I met one family at a co. picnic - the girl is from Mau'i sporting one big "Mau'i Pride" decal on the front of her SUV. When come time fo show aloha and give hug she went look at me like I was weird
I should add that this happened on more than one occasion with people we meet that say they are locals from Hawaii - quite too frequently I should say.
I dunno, my sister (who show full pride of being a keiki of Hawaii) was stationed in KY for a short time and pointed out what she called "stuck up Hawaiians" living there.
Is it true? Have the islanders lost the Aloha spirit here on CONUS? Are they turing haolefied? Have they forgotten the Aloha ways?
