I get asked a lot of what living in Hawaii is like. As a whole its a magical and unique place. Grateful to have lived and grown up here, but it has challenges, a lot of them. Especially for the Hawaiian people (residents don't ever call themselves Hawaiian btw, even if you've been here for generations, only descendents are Hawaiian). John Oliver really nails a lot of the most pressing current and historic issues in the most entertaining and hilarious way. So good. 🤙 😁

I grew up in Hawai'i too. I've lived on the mainland for a long time now, which has given me more perspective about how unique the islands really are. Bookmarked to watch this soon.

Awww, no wonder you're so easy to talk to. You're a local girl, being away from the islands doesn't change that. 🤙 😁

Well, the fact that you know the distinction and are making sure to respect the distinction is what I was talking about. Also, get choke haoles dat's way more local den me. 💛 🤙 😂 💛

Well, thank you, but I should clarify: I was born in Illinois. My family moved to Hawai'i when I was very young, though, so I grew up there.

I'm haole so I'd never call myself a "local girl" in the way that *actual* local girls do, y'know? 

I do understand Pidgin pretty well though. 😄
