For "hawaiian"

Slur	Represents	Reason & Origins
Buddhahead	Hawaiians	Hawaiian-born Japanese Americans. Originally from "buta-head" meaning pig-headed since Hawaiians were stubborn compared to their mainland counterparts. See: "kotonk"
Haole	Whites	Hawaiian: Haole is a contraction of ha (breath) and a'ole (no) meaning "no breath" used to described foreigners who shook hands instead of greeting nose to nose like the Hawaiians. Almost exclusively used as a derogatory word for whites after the U.S. armed takeover of the Hawaiian Monarchy.
Hapa	Pacific Islanders	This is a term that describes somebody of mixed ethnic or racial background, usually (but not always) Asian/Pacific Islander and Caucasian. It comes from the Hawaiian term "hapa haole," which means "half-white." It is becoming increasingly used by the Asian Pacific American community and is not necessarily considered derogatory.
Kanak	Hawaiians	Hawaiian names starting with Kanak i.e. Kanaka, Kane, Kanakeole
Kanaka	Hawaiians	A Hawaiian word meaning simply "person." Whites and Asians began to use it in a disparaging way and for most of the 19th and 20th century it was equivalent to "nigger." In recent times, Hawaiians have made great efforts to "reclaim" the word from its negative associations and often describe themselves as "kanaka maoli" or "native people." That said, non-Hawaiian natives should still excercise great care when attempting to use the term.
Kook	Whites	Hawaiian surfers use this term towards novice white surfers
Papolo	Blacks	Hawaiian word for "purple."
Popolo	Blacks	Hawaiian for 'black person.'
Royal Hawaiian	Blacks	Blacks in Hawaii who attempt to pass themselves off as ethnically Hawaiian.
