Actually...
When I was in grade school our school counselor made a trip to the Big 48 and told us, after his return, that many kids there 1) didn't know Hawai`i was a state, and 2) honestly thought we live in grass shacks and ran around naked.
*sigh* What is our youth coming to?

I am in agreement with you on the prejudicial issues your comments raise...
However if not for the references to Hawaii in our foods I wonder if my grand kids here in the midwest
would even know the word...
My guess is not...
I also would guess the Hawaii Commerce folks are real happy with the Marketing plan
that Beefed up the economics of the pinapple...
Eat more Beef is a Kansas thing...like cows out number us here...wait they do...

Yes, Mum!
I do know you're only fooling.
But, actually, a lot of women wear flowers in their hair.
And personally, I LOVE lava flows. I love walking into the solid lava fields and looking through the cracks in the lava to the molten lava below. Only, I can't do that anymore. The sulfur chokes me. But lava is absolutely beautiful.

What!
No grass shacks either? You mean, you people live in houses like me, and you wear clothes like me, and everything? I suppose next you'll be telling me that the women do not go around with hibiscus tucked behind their ears, and that only the tourists find lava flows exciting? Gee whiz, woman, you are destroying all of my fantasies of Hawai'i.
(I hope you know I'm only funning.)

Yeah
We don't walk around in grass skirts and lei. Some people do wear loud shirts though. The only time we really wear lei (Hawaiian words should not be made plural in the English manner) is on special occasions--birthdays, retirement, etc.
And we do not live in grass shacks.

Ouch.
Does this mean you don't all walk around in grass skirts, loud shirts, and leis?
