Eh Brah
January 24, 2008
I've lived on Maui for six years. It's the most beautiful place on Earth. I wasn't born here and I'm a haole, but I do all I can to keep it beautiful and protect it. I hear and see how the locals are always blaming the white man for Maui's problems (the Superferry, trash, vacation rentals, etc.), but it seems that there's a local undercurrent of blame and racism towards haoles. And it's bullshit: I was driving home from work the other day and in front of me was a car full of locals throwing garbage out the car window. I honked my horn, hoping they would stop, but they didn't. For the next two miles I had to watch them throw trash all over the land that I love and try to care for. Now tell me who really loves this awesome place I now call home?
