Oh ok, I guess you're an expert on Hawaiian culture and not just some guy talking out his ass about something he's completely ignorant of. Lol hell you don't even acknowledge that Aloha is a word in the Hawaiian language. Again, your argument has already been refuted, go read those posts if you're not satisfied.

"Hello" is a word in the English language with the same meaning. And like I said there are companies that use "Hello Tokyo" or "Hello Sushi". Is that appropriation for claiming the rights to that? Tokyo is a Japanese city. Sushi is a japanese food. But the name of the business is theirs. That's what the difference is.

See you're comparing the word hello to the word Aloha. Its your ignorance of Hawaiian culture and the word "Aloha"'s place in that culture that is causing you to not understand this issue. Aloha is a whole lot more than just the word hello, but there's no way for you to know that so I don't blame you for thinking that way. But what you don't have an excuse for is thinking that you are even able to comment on something you're completely ignorant of.

If you don't actually have an understanding of the main parts of a debate, why would you think you're able to tell people what is or isn't right? I mean you must be aware of how little you know about Hawaiian culture correct? So knowing how little you know of Hawaiian culture, what makes you think you're able to not only comment on, but debate this topic at all? It'd be different if you came in here just asking questions, but you came in here making declarations and asserting that anyone who disagrees with you is wrong. You don't seem to be trolling, tho I could be wrong about that, so what makes you think you know better than people who are more knowledgeable on the topic than you are? What insight or special knowledge do you have (or think you have) that makes you qualified to determine who's right and who's wrong here?
