Family Claims Anti-White Hate Was Behind Brutal Attack on California Family at Swanky Hawaiian Resort * The Gateway Pundit * by Margaret Flavin

A family from California is claiming that a brutal attack at the swanky Kaanapali Alii resort in West Maui had anti-White motivations.

The family, who have not been named, says they were targeted as “haole boys” before being brutally attacked, leaving at least six people needing medical help, and one man was left with a large head wound which required more than a dozen staples to close the wound.

“Haole” is slang for Whites, especially in a Hawaiian or local Hawaii context. While it can be used in a less hostile colloquial way, it is often used as a racial slur as a pejorative, underscoring historical tensions over colonization, outsiders, or cultural differences.

One of the family members, Joseph Headfield, said the physical violence was preceded by racial threats from a woman he described as the group’s ringleader.

“There were three females, one of which was the ringleader,” Headfield told Hawaii News Now.

“She got up in people’s faces, said, ‘We’re going to beat up your boys tonight. We’re going to beat up the haole boys.’”

According to local reports, a brawl broke out around 10 p.m. on July 17 at the Kaanapali Alii resort. The visitors from California, ranging in age from 17 to 62, relayed to police that they were assaulted after a group of young people allegedly threw chairs and attacked members of their family.

Per The New York Post:

Relatives told HNN the confrontation was the culmination of an evening of escalating tensions, alleging a group of Maui youths had been harassing visitors earlier near Whalers Village before the violence erupted at the resort.

Police arrested a 20-year-old Makawao man on suspicion of assault.

He was later released as detectives continued their investigation.

Although the family believes the incident was racially motivated, police have not classified the assault as a hate crime.
