Eddy is angry when he is called a Jap, and he speaks out against the use of this word, yet he sometimes calls whites hoale, which simply means white in Hawaiian. Characters in the book also refer to “locals.” who are nonwhites raised in Hawaii. These words reflect a history of race and class conflict in Hawaii, and hoale can be highly charged and demeaning. How do you feel about Eddy’s use of this word?
