My wife, a Japanese woman born raised and educated in Japan, lived in HNL for 9 years and when I met her, still working for PanAm from their HNL base. When we married, her friends there, either 'haoles' or Japanese, all made the comment "and she, such a conservative old-fashioned Japanese girl, still ended up with a haole husband! "
That was all said with tongue in cheek and a big smile. That was back in the early 1970s.

Yes, I have heard 'haole' used often in Honolulu, but never observed or felt any bad vibrations from it.

As far as I have been told, 'haole' in the local Polynesian lingo only means 'white man' with no other bagage.
