hawaii natives?

Question

hey i heard they called the samoan/hawaiin natives..."pineapple chuckers" what is that!

Answer 1

Hey you people who answered before me are all idiots. He was asking what "pineapple chuckers" meant and you guys are way too sensitive.

Answer 2

There is 2 meanings to the word Pineapple Chuckers:

1) Pineapple Chuckers - Pineapple Pickers.
2) Pineapple Chuckers - Overeating Pineapples

They never called the Samoan and Hawaiian Natives that slur name. It was used in calling the Asian people that. My parents were pineapple pickers they worked hard picking pineapple after their parents migrated here from Japan to Hawaii years before they were born. They made good money back then in the 1940's through 1960's plus back then the economy was a lot cheaper then it is now. Back then there was all different nationalities working together as one to get the work done. Being a pineapple chucker was one ways of making a living in Hawaii during that period and time. But it is best not to call someone that name now or else you could get a punch in the face.

Answer 3

I am a lifetime resident of Hawaii and have never heard of that term. However, it may go back to the pineapple plantation days when almost every nationality of people was here for cheap labor (though they were mainly of japanese, chinese, or filipino decent). Any pineapple pickers would essentially be a "pineapple chucker".

If you were white however, you would have been a luna (hawaiian word for supervisor) hence the derogatory aspect of the term "pineapple chucker".

Hope this helps....

Face it, mainlanders, you come from a white supremacist nation. Many of you don't even realize that some of the things you say DO connote white supremacy. It doesn't matter if you are here in Hawai`i, or on the mainland. I've lived all over the mainland since the Sixties to know that many whites get into a lot of trouble with ALL people of color because of their white supremacist attitudes. So it doesn't matter if you are here in Hawai`i and do the same with our locals: You WILL be challenged and treated back the same way you treated any of us from Hawai`i. Chauvinistic, jingoistic arrogance, compounded with an air of superiority, WILL get you into trouble no matter where you live, and that includes Hawai`i. My husband is a Sami (they are an Asiatic, nomadic people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia) from northern Norway. I've watched how his people are looked down upon and treated similarly like my kanaka maoli here in Hawaii as Nordic Swedes and Norwegians share the very same sentiment of white/Nordic supremacy as the average white American does. And yet many a Scandinavian, and especially Nordic Swedes, absolutely despise Americans, stating that "Americans are arrogant," without even taking a look in the mirror at their own arrogance and racial pride. And to the person who stated that haoles "should stay away from certain communities on O`ahu" : You have NO idea what you are talking about, and you're only race-baiting more hatred by stereotyping. Moral of story: Treat others the way you would want to be treated, no matter what their "race" is; after all, we ALL belong to the HUMAN RACE.

Answer 5

I have never heard of Hawaiians or Samoans being called that at all. Too bad the ignorance of racist people get spread and fed by people as like you. Actually people should not feed this evil as it is so common anymore for most people to be of mixed nationalities.

Answer 6

Hawaiians are hawaiians, so do not mix up the two races. I would love to see you in the fields picking pineapple brah, in the heat, the dirt, and those workers move, all day long. On our Island we got big tiger sharks, for people like you. Please show some respect for Hawaii, and the Hawaiian culture, as they have been taken advantage of for too long. Our Islands are being over built, there are too many hotels, too many cruise ships, too much traffic, but you know what, we love it here and one day we will change the nightmare inflicted on the Hawaiians........ Aloha..........

Answer 7

I grew up in Hawaii, but never heard the term.
I've heard many derogatory terms for different ethnic groups but this one's new. i'm not sure who 'they' are in your question and samoans and hawaiians should never be confused or put together with a slash like they are interchangeable, unless you don't value your life....

Answer 8

who's 'they'??? Never heard such an expression here in the islands--- plus the Samoans and Hawaiians generally weren't the ones working in the fields. Those were mostly Filipino.

I think you are just talking story!

Answer 9

just listen to the last guy that's mest up.

Neva dis da local boi's.
Neva write anyting like dat again
U lucky boo!!

Answer 10

It's a shame that morons like you repeat derogatory comments because you think it might get a laugh.

You are sad.
