Redditor clearly never left the base or he would have got his haole ass handed to him.
I like how the girl didn't even say anything weird, literally just "native Hawaiians have mixed opinions" lol
"Yeah? Well as a Hawaiian I have a different opinion!"
Narrator: But in fact, he wasn't Hawaiian.

Now imagine the cognitive dissonance if you said someone born on a US military base in Iraq was an Iraqi not an American
I truly hate that subreddit, it's almost as bad as Today I Fucked Up.
Just massive walls of the worst fiction writing behind clickbait titles. Describing an event with 25 layers of unnecessary background. The fucking worst.

why do people think that's how you write a short story?
Also: I know multiple people who frequent that place and they are all absolute assholes.
Yeah I think if that subreddit especially resonates with someone, it might be because they have to ask that question a lot more often than most people.
I don't believe any "story" that I read on reddit. They are all likely to be bs.
At least this one had a compelling ending that made the read worth it

stop calling me a haole
:wojak-nooo: i'm native to south africa, stop calling me apartheid andy
This is sorta random, but one of the comments is talking about the Bering Land Bridge thing being controversial. I've heard other native people talk about it being controversial, and how it's used as some kind of excuse for genocide because of how supposedly recent the migration would have been.
Apparently some research is showing much much earlier migrations.
My question is, what gave this social importance? There's no way Europeans would have turned around and said "whoops! 80,000 years? I thought you were here for only 10,000 years, sorry, have your land back, we're sailing back to York"
But the fact that it's controversial tells me there is some greater context I don't know about, like maybe some dorky ass 19th century white people consciously using it as a justification for recent concentration camps and residential schools or something.
Anyone know more?
I've never heard of it being controversial, but I know that from the 1950s or so to now the estimated migration date has been pushed back from 10,000 years ago to 20,000 years ago. We're pretty definitively sure that the people who first settled the Americas came from Asia, whether it was over land or by boat seems like splitting hairs to me.
Yeah it seems that way to me too.
I heard a native guy complaining about the Bering strait theory on a podcast. If it's simply a religious thing (some religions hold that the indigenous people here were originally formed with the Earth) then I wouldn't be a New-Atheist-style dick about it but I also wouldn't really care. But maybe that theory has some hidden genocidal history, wouldn't be the first time.
Me being born on base lol. For some reason I didn't see that coming
Oh my god, not even the top 5th percentile of mayo brained white people in Hawaii would say "I am Hawaiian". That's just unspeakably stupid. And you could get your shit rocked
Chaotically undersocialized
Like, this guy's story has got to be the tip of the iceberg, and the least cringe thing he's ever said
:le-pol-face: "BAWWWWW MY WACIST GF CALLED ME A COLONIZEW FOR OCCUPYING STOWEN LAND!!!!!"
This guy and the ancap who went to Greece are gonna start a podcast together.
How do you have such a clear play by play of the conversation and still walk away thinking you were in the right?
It's fucked up that the op gave her an ethnic name, especially since the name didn't come up again to clarify who was who.
Also kinda fucked up for the teacher to put the girl on the spot.
