  Haole
In modern Hawaii, Haole is used as a racial epithet for white people.
In the past, haole referred to anyone who was not from Hawaii (kanaka maoli being the opposite) and was not considered an insult in the slightest.
Haole meant "those who do not breathe" and was used to describe the dead, as well as the gods (see Hawaiian mythology).

 Haole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haole, in the Hawaiian language, means "foreign" or "foreigner"; it can be used in reference to people, plants, and animals.
However, as the term kamaʻāina haole is often used, it implies that the person is a Hawaiian born-and-raised descendant of the New England missionaries who came to the islands in 1820.
Foreigners did not know or use the honi, a Polynesian/Hawaiian greeting by sniffing the cheeks of the face, and so they were described as "breathless".

 Haole
In the islands of Hawaii, the word haole is occasionally used to annoy people whose skin is all white.
In the year 1778 of the haole calendar, Captain James Cook of the ship HMS Resolution, and his band of Englishmen came ashore at Kealakekua Bay on what is now known as The Big Island of Hawaii.
Thus, the Hawaiian islands were totally and irrevocably changed, by the coming of the dead ones.

As the colonial ideology of the haole dominated the islands for decades, its construction as a racist attempt to delegitimize the Hawaiian state must be factored into the cultural legacy of the islands.
It was this newly déraciné population that the monarchy sought to mobilize against the haole planters.
Bishop and other haole critics focused upon the failings of the Hawaiians (of which the moral failure was paramount) in the search for the cause of their current situation and offered no concrete solutions to their plight other than the adoption of Western ways.

Sheep should be introduced to koa haole gradually to increase their ability to detoxify the feed.

 Hawaiian Spirituality: Old Hawaii Huna
To be haole is to be part of the cultural arrogance, prejudice and ethnocentric opportunism of traders who brought disease, devastation and death to the aloha culture.

About a third of the land, some 1,500,000 acres, was supposed to be for land claims by the maka'ãinana but the ali'i and the haole manipulated the Mahele so that they received most of the land while the maka'ainana received only 28,000 acres.
The Hawai'ians, whose bodies and souls were tied to the land, were cut off from it, and the haole were able to replace the Hawai'ian social structure with their own.
It was also during the 1850's that the haole, especially the American capitalist planters and merchants, began seriously organizing either for an overthrow of the monarchy or annexation by the U.S. In 1893, the planters and merchants staged a coup backed up with a U.S. navy gunboat and 150 U.S. troops.

One response to this criticism is to claim that the original word was hāʻole, and that haole is just a variant.
No reputable Hawaiian linguist believes this, as there are no citations for the word and the proposed change is not supported by the actual sound changes undergone by Hawaiian over the centuries as it evolved away from a hypothetical proto-east-polynesian ancestor.

Carter follows in the footsteps of his American haole compatriots who came to Hawai'i in the 19th century demanding that Hawaiians convert to the haole ways of behaving.
Carter's typically white American problem: he wants to pretend pithat he is outside American history, a history which has made white power and white supremacy the governing norm from the birth of the American colonies to the present American imperium that holds the world as a nuclear hostage.
Part of that benefit is the moral blindness of the settler who insists on his "individuality" when his very presence has nothing to do with his "individuality" and everything to do with his historical position as a member of a white imperialist country.

Local people who go to the Mainland often find themselves in the role of an amateur hapa haole, that is, trying to be comfortable in two cultures.
Although Hawaii is a part of the United States and is Westernized, the interwoven Hawaiian and Asian influences result in cultural differences between Hawaii and the continental United States that are often quite a shock.
The concept of the hapa haole might also apply to the Christian trying to maintain a place in the spiritual culture of believers, while being set in the culture of nonbelievers.

The question was part of a 2003 poll commissioned by University of Hawai'i president Evan Dobelle that also asked people to rate prominent Hawai'i politicians and their impressions about the university.
Pollsters asked: "When people use the term Haole to refer to people do you think it is a positive term, a negative or insulting term, or is it just a word with no positive or negative meaning?"
Nearly half of the people who responded thought the Hawaiian word now used to refer to white people had no positive or negative meaning, but nearly a third thought it was negative.
