Not inherently but it can be used as a slur.

I've been called haole enough times in my life to know you're wrong. I've been in enough fights I didn't want to be in (specifically the ones I lost, which were a lot lol) for being a haole to know that when I was called that, it wasn't a term of endearment.

The term isnt a racial slur, but it can be used in a derogatory manner by racist individuals.

Yeah it was rough for people like my dad growing up in Hawaii. I mean I didn't have it easy, but it was way easier than it used to be. Him and my uncle got in way more fights than I did.

its neither a slur nor a term of endearment. it's just what they call white people in Hawaii. Have people used it negatively towards you in fights? sure I'd believe that. and I also know that there's a decent amount of people in Hawaii who hold animosity towards white people in Hawaii but its definitely not a racial slur.

Ok man, whatever you say. Obviously you'd know better than the people who live there and have actually used the word lol.

lol idk why you'd assume you're the only person from Hawaii. I was raised in Hawaii from 3 years old and didnt leave until last year at almost 20 years old. But please tell me more about the state I spent my whole life in

And you're telling me about the state I was actually born in and raised in. Haole may not have started as a racial slur, but that's what its become.

No it hasn't. You are probably just some annoying little kid that gets called that a lot, but it's not a racial slur.

I was in Kauai and I actually saw some haole hate speech written on a piece of wood near the main highway. Something about how haoles lie, steal and kill.

Depends on the context. It can be used as a racial slur.

A lot of locals also use it to describe themselves if they're haole, or part haole (myself included).

And you've got haole brownies, and other products that use the term.

This is true. Plus terms like hapa haole to describe mixed races. But its clearly a derogatory term used against white people in I'd say most instances.

No, it can also be a tool used to crack things. Or a racial slur. Like haole.
