... I saw a video of a couple of younglings taking in a baseball game in Tokyo. The young Aussie host welcomed her American friend as being more knowledgeable about the game. He replied that he's from Hawai'i, so he's not really American, but he'd pretend to be one for the sake of that podcast. Ouch!
So yeah, the Hawaiian memory is long, and the resentment still runs deep, it would appear.
