Are Haoles Victimized?<\/h1>\n

UPDATED 10:04 a.m. 01\/06\/11<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recent reference to \u201cKill Haole Day\u201d by a federal judge prompted another debate about the alleged phenomenon. Judge Stephen Reinhardt\u2019s reference came in his dissent in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling denying four non-Hawaiian students a rehearing on their request for anonymity in their suit against Kamehameha Schools. The lawyers claim the students fear persecution if their identities are revealed (despite contrary statements from the students themselves). The request was denied because it was found that the fear of severe harm is unreasonable and thus, the \u201cparamount importance of open courts\u201d stands.<\/p>\n

Yet, even in the face of this latest decision \u2014 one reiterating that fears of violence are unfounded \u2013 somehow we are left talking about the mythical \u201cKill Haole Day.\u201d How do we make sense of that? As Lee Cataluna has articulately pointed out, this only \u201cdiverts attention from real problems.\u201d How is it that we are once again drawn into a discussion about victimized haoles (this time, those attacking arguably the most crucial of Hawaiian institutions)? Why focus on alleged or potential anti-haole violence, rather than examine the legacies of colonialism and dispossession that shape race relations in the islands?<\/p>\n
