She has been a associate professor of Hawaiian languages at the University of Hawaii and an award winning singer.. It's a most unlikely story. That's the way it is on this tiny rock. If you embrace the culture, you will be accepted.

The native Hawaiians are from a larger rock so they're sized appropriately i.e., not that big but not that small. The Samoans don't like the Tongans though. I don't know what the heck that's about nor will I ask them about it.

In order to understand it you have to know and respect the different cultures crammed together on this rock. We know about each other because back in the plantation days, the workers were stuck in the same ******** and they had to learn and communicate with each other and get along. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Of course there are places on the mainland where different peoples are forced to live with each other in some ********. The difference is that the mainland has enough room to support enclaves. We don't. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I saw that before. It's a great scene!
