@Madhat Can you get someone to translate for you? I'm sure you are trying to make a point, but no one can understand you except other uneducated Hawaiian locals.

Hawaiians learn by influence, and our greatest influence was always, and will forever be America. All Hawai`i was dignified and educated with a British influence. It was not till we were introduced to America that we became what YOU say is uneducated. When you criticize Hawai`i, you criticize America, for we are merely a reflection of your teachings. There was no such thing as racism until Britain influence left, and American influence took over. You should think twice about what you accuse.

I respect any language, for every language has it's own take on a unique culture. It's no wonder Americans always dump on everyone else all the time. I'd be irate too if I had no culture of my own and a language comprised of other languages. America is nothing but borrowed, failed culture you could not produce yourself. After all, English is just French prounounced badly. My apologies to the French that I was taught the low class version of such a beautiful language.

Hahaha! I love when I see people say this is an uneducated language from Hawaiians. If you WERE educated AT ALL, then you would KNOW that Pidgin originates from the Chinese and the influx of immigration in Hawai`i. Hence, the obvious amount of Asians in the video. It was a means of communication, and as a bonus certain simple minded individuals could not understand it. It's more like a secret language that only ignorance could not understand. China, Japan, and Korea understand it.

making pidgin a language is just a way for dumb ass locals to get some college credit. Because then, they are gonna want to have this as a credited class in college. You guys are retarded. Learn a real language. Real languages are German, English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese.... not moke pidgin!

@101mahina yeah right, OMFG you where a bunch of savages and I bet cannibals like the Maori

when the majority of the Hawaiians died of disease for being weak pussies the USA should have finished the 40,000 still left alive or shipped them to New Guinea to live like savages

I am in the army and going to be stationed in Hawaii for a year, I have heard nasty things about the native barbarians and this haole will fuck some shit up

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

Speaking of language, since when is pidgin English considered a bona-fide language? It’s considered an unofficial language of Hawaii; they have dictionaries, books, and even classes on how to speak it. To me, I just think the speaker is a completely illiterate imbecile when I hear it. Seriously, it makes a person sound like a complete moron when he can’t speak in complete sentences.

@jonmark11 Look again... Most of the people in Hawaii are capable of speaking standard English and btw we are apart of the United States we've been apart of it since August of 1959. And most of the Locals here aren't even Hawaiian, people in Hawaii come from all parts of the world and have multiple ethnic backgrounds, so why master just ONE language where people in other parts of the world might not understand but instead master 2 Standard english and Pidgin english where other people might

oh brah i goin lik this haole b4 he try take away da culture of da island

[101mahina]

@jonmark11 Just stating one thing. The only thing fucked up about Hawaii would be anything that America influenced. I'll hve you know that before our illegal annexation Hawaiian people were one of the most smartest and in shape people around. In fact, Hawaii was one of the first places in the WORLD to have electricity. So before you insult our state and people, you should really back yourself up with facts.
