Is it bullying if it's a majority of a class hazing outsiders?

I hope I"m not making it sound scary, it's not meant to be. People here just want to test you. If you're cool, then we're all cool!
I mean these new comers can stay in their bubble and not interact and be fine, but we're the most isolated land mass on the planet so you're forced to interact with everybody.
Apparently all kine people from
SF, San Jose, silicone valley area, when Covid hit, started bailing the city life and buying up prop elsewhere, just like you in hawaii are experiencing. Lake Tahoe, complete cluster, all cash offer 10 day escrows, sight unseen, 10-30% over asking. Market has gone nuts up there! Good luck to you in HI as those people can afford it and it will not help you afford to live there either. Sucks ballzzz!

The market in Tahoe went nuts during the first dot.com bubble. The whole place changed. The funky little market in North Lake Tahoe started stocking Dom and live lobster. My dad had a house with a view of the lake he bought for 250. Sold it for 2 million+. It was kind of sad. The whole place changed. The people that had grown up there got squeezed. Their kids couldn't afford to stay there. The days of working a few side jobs, waiting tables, ski lessons and living the life up there vanished. The tourist thing in the summer got nuts. You couldn't go anywhere around the lake for the traffic. That is one place I could have left the ocean for. The wife and I talked about doing it before we had kids. Sometimes I wonder...

These people are not cool. They're some of the most sanctimonious and crazy on the planet. Likely they're going to fail whatever tests you give them.
I keep hearing that Hawaii is full of trannies. Are they hot, or the obviously dudes type? I am into passable.
Man attacked at his home on Maui speaks out about encounter
A man is pleading for victims of hate crimes to step forward after he was brutally attacked in his Maui home five years ago. February 13, 2014, was Christopher Kunzelman’s first night in his new ho…www.khon2.com
hope they're doing their due diligence
why the hell would you move to kahakuloa uninvited!?..friken dumbass....I !!!....WOULDN'T MOVE to kahakuloa uninvited...and im a big ugly brown guy already...and i have family on maui...what the hell makes him think he can just go live somewhere just because he has money... like oxnard ...just cause you buy a house there don't make you local...i thought all that area was reservation land anyway isnt it?
Have enough to drink and they'll look fine. I'd recommend Scarlet near downtown, good music too
. There's plenty of post-op lady boys if thats what you're into, almost got fooled one night 
Same thing happening where I am. Real estate prices in my town went up 30% this summer. The people who own vacation/second homes here showed up in droves back in March and they are not leaving. Houses that used to be affordable rentals in the off season are now unavailable due to the 'summer' people staying put. The few rentals I see listed have skyrocketed on rent. For example, an off season 4 BR rental used to be easy to find in the range of 1200-2000/mo. Same house now is 4400/mo.
They came by the thousands. The city folk didn't understand they were taxing our infrastructure and got some backlash. The hospital here has about two dozen beds and only three ventilators. Staffing in the off season is reduced by 2/3rds. Lots of bitter comments on social media from the millionaires who saw it as a "us vs. them" thing. They didn't understand that clearing the shelves in grocery stores so they could hide out caused major issues across the board. We had major shortages in necessities for over a month as the supply chain was not geared to accomodate a huge bump in the population.

I wonder why RE agents don't give a heads up on things like this? At least steer them to a more haole friendly part of the island. I suppose it could be an uncomfortable conversation but it sounds as if it might have helped in this case. It'd be interesting to know if the majority of Hawaii RE agents are locals or trannies. That TV show "Hawaii Life" may have influenced some of these recent purchase sprees.
My company usually has to have the "do know how expensive it is to live here" conversation with candidates that apply to open positions. A lot of people don't research what it's like to live in SF.
Plenty of materialism. Look at the completely unnecessary vehicles that people drive just to make a status statement - the boys with their four wheel drive trucks that rarely, if ever, go off road, tons of SUVs, plenty Teslas; all on an island that's just 44 x 30 miles. And people aren't making that ridiculous drive up to their homes on Hawaii Loa Ridge because they think it's convenient...
If people stare at me, I make sure to say hi. Puts an end to it 99% of the time, anywhere I've ever been.
Race gets 'discussed' in a very direct way in HI that never happens on the mainland. Too small a place to completely get away from 'other'. People have to deal with each other and a result they talk about, and to each, other in ways that would be considered super un-PC on the mainland. IMO, it seems to work a lot better.

The “aloha spirit” may hold a deep lesson for all of us.
