Hawaiianophobia "Anti-Hawaiian Sentiment"

Description: Anti-Hawaiian Sentiment (also called Hawaiianophobia, Localphobia and anti-Localism is the fear or dislike of Hawaii or Hawaiian Culture, Hawaiian-Local Culture. Anti-Hawaiian sentiment can take many forms, from antipathy toward Hawaii as a place on this earth to racist hatred of the Local people.

Varieties: Anti-Hawaiian sentiments range from animosity towards the Hawaiian Government's actions during the reigning of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the Illegal Annexation of Hawaii, and Generational Xenophobia of Hawaii Residents during World War II. It also includes the disdain for Local Hawaii culture, or to Racism against the Local Hawaii people, especially of Hawaiian decent, even if they themselves are of the same blood and bones. Sentiments of dehumanization have been fueled by the anti-Hawaiian propaganda of the Corporate financiers during the kingdom overthrow and the Rich Post-World War II. Anti-Hawaiian sentiment may be strongest to those who had their hand in the atrocities committed by the US Military and Hawaii Political Figures.

Kingdom Era: In the past, anti-Hawaiian sentiment contained innuendos of Hawaiian people as barbaric, just as many other dehumanizing racial campaigns for the Japanese, the Chinese, and the Indigenous Native American tribes. During the Kalakaua Era, Hawaii was intent to continue its adoption of the Western ways in an attempt to join the West as an industrialized imperial power, but a lack of acceptance of the Hawaiians in the United States complicated integration and assimilation. Hawaiian culture was viewed with suspicion and even disdain by even those born in the islands and spoke fluent Hawaiian Language (Olelo) like Sanford B. Dole who showed disdain for the political capacity of Native Hawaiians.
