I’ve know that young man since I taught him in kindergarten and I’m proud to hear him speak. Not speaking English, but speaking reflecting his mindset.
I'm not races I'm straight up I get along with different cultures.
Mau Piailug was Micronesian and was a very integral part in teaching what was lost. Way finding by using the stars. He replaced what was lost to Hawaiians long ago, we owe them the respect they deserve. Due to the military bombing that went on in those islands they had to be relocated elsewhere.
Area not ethnic back ground. But yes he was Marshallese
@Ray Kailiawa Hello! Marshall Islands is in Micronesian Territory. and No mau Piailug is not from the Marshall Islands He is From the Outter Islands of Yap called Satawal. Also Part of Micronesia. You cannot say Hawaii is not Polynesia because Hawaii is in Polynesia Territory. Learn before you speak.
@@kaikoa4295 you sure, das not what it says in his book about him🤷🏾♂️
@@neurrfauuchiefwitenes3122 who said hawaii was not poly? Read all before you speak. We talking about respect for people, show some respect and do it in a respectful way. Negative comments not PONO!!!
@@kaikoa4295 As native yapese/satawalese let me be cristal clear Mau Piailug is from satawal outer island of Yap 🤦
Disgusting to hear that all the hate still exists for our Micronesian brothers an sisters. We're all Islanders. We should be looking out for one another. ✊🏼🇼🇸 I'm Samoan, raised on Oahu & grew up with alot of Micronesians. Hawaii's quick to support BLM but too manys locals treat other Islanders like 💩. Shout out to all my Wahiawa, Pearl City Micronesian fam. You all are loved.
❤
Yes still same old BS around here. Even the State government blamed Micronesians for spreading Covid when it first started. So ridiculous 😂
@@minnieee123are you serious? Justice for the Micronesians. this is unacceptable and ignorant. Hawaii is just racist asf. Also, sadly, the haole is taking over the Hawaiian islands.🥲kinda makes sense with racism going on. If Hawaii was independent the actual native people of Hawaii would treat their neighboring islanders as Ohana.
I'm with u bro. I'm from pohnpei
Born and raised in Hawaii, my dad is Hawaiian, my mom is Micronesian.
I grew up in the 90s early 2000s... during a time when people were just learning what Micronesian was, by the time I was in high school I witnessed the stereotype worsen.
I was lucky to be Hawaiian and didn't have to face the blatant racism as hard as every Micronesian faces here. But I see it all the time.
All I have to say is, what benefits are you guys talking about? Micronesians don't get special benefits, if they're getting any help from the government, those are the same programs that any American citizen can apply for as well.
And when Micronesians come to the states where do you think they move to first? Hawaii Kai? No, they go to the cheapest places available, which means having to settle for places well below the poverty line and high in crime rate...
Flowers don't grow well in sand as they would in soil, but they still grow according to their environment.. we should nurture them and help them find their way into a better life here.
Before you say, well they should go back to where they came from. Ask yourself where are your roots from and should your roots have gone back when they came to Hawaii?
Young Micronesians grow up here asking themselves why does everyone hate me? We should be welcoming them, helping them, learning from them. They're from the same ocean as all of us.
You've done it for all the past immigrants to Hawaii, the Spanish, Portuguese, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Samoans, Tongans... so why is it so hard now to help the Micronesian community to integrate?
Is it possible that these people settle in those awful places because they can't afford to live elsewhere?
What do you expect everyone to do?
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y Remember, you forgot Korean's and other ethnic Asians too. We were all slaves before, when the white men's came in power. I'm Korean born and raise on the island of Guam and grew up with the Micronesian communities, and I have been living off on both islands there were good and bad in every race, it just depends on the personality.
COFA Micronesians are not American citizens, so they are at the grace of the American taxpayer. Micronesians are the ones commiting the crimes. 1% of the population commiting 12% of all the crimes. Think about that. End COFA and end this steady stream of welfare recipients coming through. Not only will it reduce cost, but crime would go down significantly.
@@MIKECNWit's hard to afford (for marshallese) bc plenty of generations recovering from the islands being bombed by the u.s
Where do y'all expect them to go?
@@sproutedcoconut I don't get your question.
This young Micronesian man has a good mindset, and looks for a good future. Why are Micronesians discriminated in Hawaii? My opinion is that there's a bad group in any race. The fighting, drinking alcohol and drug use by Micronesians are a small percentage of the population.
But residents tend to group all Micronesians in this category.
Exactly. But people are focused on their one bad experience while blinded to the majority of Micronesians working hard here esp on O’ahu. And the only Micronesians that get discriminated are the ones who have a dark brown complexion. If you’re mixed or fair skinned, you’re safe 😂🤦🏽♀️
There's plenty of local racism against Micronesians. I've seen graffiti at bus stops: "Death to all Micros". Folks from Micronesia would rather be referred to by the name of their specific country or culture, such as Marshallese, Chuuk, Chamorro, Ponapean, Kosraean, Palauan, Kiribati, etc. As with all people, some are the nicest you can meet, and some are the worst, just depends on the individual. Same old story everywhere: new immigrants face local racism (from earlier immigrants).
Hpd crime statistics-predominantly Micronesians
Mika is really hott
@@user-db9lz2yl7i Your words = "White man complains". Where is that? Nowhere in the KITV4 report. Not in this comment thread (unless it's shadow-banned from my YT feed). Likewise "refuses to house local Micronesia family". Where is that? Your comment makes no sense.
@@nuyorican91st
According to Hawaii crime rate statistics, most crime is committed by white, then Hawaiians (poly, but Hawaiians mainly), then Asian then black, then other Pacific Islanders (Micronesian, melanesians, etc) in that order.
That goes for juveniles and adults.
@@jodo7814 what ever you say
They used have vocational classes back in the 60's and 70's in high school. Auto, wood, cooking but the DOE felt it was a waste of time and money. A lot of kids just don't do well in regular school curriculum, and many eventually fail and drop out. Which leads to a lot of bored kids getting into trouble.
Send em back then.
Use that money for people who will appreciate it
I love Micronesians! They are kind, hard-working people. They deserve respect.
@@user-db9lz2yl7i there aren’t nearly enough Micronesians in Hawaii as you make it out to be. Yes there are a ton of Micronesians but Polynesians and Asians by themselves still make up bigger numbers than the Micronesian community. It was the Samoans Tongans Japanese and Filipinos that took most of the housing while the Micros just came here LAST and took the scraps. You’re hating on barely 1% of the population
@c They don't have to be US citizens, they come and go when they want. You just salty asf.
My boy J2 trying to change that… Always coaching youth Basketball and encouraging the whole community to do better. I used to judge them, till I worked with them. They some of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. Judge the person not the race. Easy to say, harder to do.
Micronesians are good kind loving people you just got to get to know them every race has good and bad apples. God Bless All.
It’s sad to hear all this hatred and racism towards Micronesians. Funny thing is that some of the kindest n most down to earth guys I met were from Micronesia, they would look out for me in high school n they would always help me out whenever I was in trouble. Shoutout to my Micronesians tho 💯💯
Try let them drink and chew beetle nut with you and well see how much you like them after that
Seems a very smart young man. Aloha.🤙🏽
Its sad that we all pacific islanders hate each other but we love our real enemies that stolen our lands.
You dumbass, Asians and whites are the majority in Hawai’i yet you think it’s other islanders discriminating against Micronesians. Speak for yourself, maybe you love the Asians and whites you clown
Micronesians are the most negatively discriminated group in Hawaii, especially on Oahu, which is stupid since they are a part of moana nui and have more in common (culturally) with polynesians than most of the other immigrants and transplants who find their way here. No excuse for criminal behavior of any ethnic group, just pointing out that the way people treat them is the same way colonists would treat hawaiians, filipinos, chinese…
Colonists? Polynesian settlers colonized the islands which are now called Hawaii.
They were the first immigrants known to have come to these islands.
@@gregcarter8656 Yes, colonists. People who colonized Hawaii post western contact when Hawaii had already been settled with it’s first group of people who would be known as the native hawaiian people. If you’re from Hawaii you know this so why act surprised? And what does that have to do with the poor treatment of Micronesians?
@@hmmmm.3899 he took offense because he’s a colonist aka european.🤷🏽♂️
@Good Bye but, they’ve always been on the receiving end of prejudice.🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@Good Bye Sounds like you’re talking about every white person that I know. Every nationality has bad apples idiot, nobody saying Hawaiians are perfect. But we are proud of where we come from and what we stand for. Lack of understanding gets you nowhere.
Brah us Filipinos felt the same way back in the day.
And now you guys treating Micronesians how you guys got treated back in the day. Kinda shame ahh?
Polys treating them bad dummeh

Dominant white man: Don't act like "the rest of the dummies" and maybe I'll give you your land back. 😊
What do you mean?
@@_...858 act right, prove the haters wrong.
Mixed feelings. My brothers best friend is Micronesian and my brother even went to Micronesia to provide medical services. First day there his is only pair of work shoes got stolen. He found out Micronesia was the fastest growing population in the world living on small dead reefs with no economy except the government gets money from the US military base and from foreign ships paying fishing fees.
Next he learned to tell them quickly that he is not Chinese because they are extremely unfriendly towards Chinese people in Micronesia.
We donated a lot to assist with Micronesians but my personal experience is that when my father passed away, it was the Micronesians that attempted to break into my home while I was busy with funeral things away from my house. I was fortunate that I don’t have a fence between my neighbor. She saw them. Talked to them and told them to leave.
Shoes stolen
Thanks America we will take take take and keep taking and keep breaking laws then demand sympathy
I apologize for that. Real Micronesians aren’t raised like that. We try our best but there’s a few of us that paint a bad picture of our people.
Not my island pohnpei is the best
@@SasukeUchiha-pr9qx criminals 🤮
If you didnt know there was a criminal group of Chinese / Taiwanese smuggling drugs through Micronesia. That must've been the reason for the hostility.
Brahh.This are our braddahs and sisters from another islands.If they go down we all go down..I love you all my pacific islanders and I nokea what islands.Do something to help them.Aloha❤💯🤙🏽

@c sole are you hawaiian or you just born in hawaii?
Native Oceanians need to stay tied, looped, chained, cuffed, banded, and united together against Non Indigenous Oceanian Iskanders and stop this intra Islander racism yeah.
Wise young man !!🙏🙏🙏❤️
They definitely don't tip waitors or delivery drivers often. On the Big Island they steal a lot in my neighborhood.
Sole u funny.Can tell you have two job's 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah like how my ancestors stole your land right? Why don't you talk about that? 😂
Well they don't because a majority of micros are well... broke
No money no tip 🌚🤣
Micronesian chick's are cute 😍
I worked with Chuukeese and Martial Island coworkers and they were the most lazy unreliable workers ever. Come work late and often no show and work really slow unbelievable. Show up to work without any shoes just bare footed. Not saying all of them are bad but I have yet to personally know of a good one. The boss refused to hire any more most lazy very irresponsible workers.
What's your ethnicity if you don't mind me asking?
@@192OOIDJJ3 Pacific islander actually so I'm not racist.
@Common Sense You're racist just keep it 💯.
I wanna be angry but I remember getting my RiMajol cousin a job at a Slaughterhouse and he rocked up with no shoes too 🤣🤣💀
How your name common sense but you no more common sense
Witnessed them running baskets of alcohol out of ABC store in Waikiki by the zoo on Halloween 2018.. also seen them terrorizing homeless in Aala park, hanging around China town with kitchen knifes..
And they demand sympathy and apologies for racism towards them?
Nope
@@AM1998- send the ones that do that back to where they come from.ban them from the US forever
Cuz they Can’t handler alcohol and I’ve personally seen multiple stabbing attack aftermaths and gang violence at mayor rights KPT and waiena apartments, Attempted robberies baseball bat beatings,
Come on bro
It just one bad group
That’s really strange. WHO are discriminating against Micronesians and are they aware of who birthed them and where they come from??? The only people who can “discriminate” against Micronesians are pure Native Hawaiians. 😒 Micronesians are really kind people by nature and it’s actually sad for those who mistreat them because they’re missing out on good people. God bless everyone
Dude, it's not just natives from what I've seen. It's funny how other ethnic groups discriminate them when they ain't even native themselves.
Hard to stay at home during COVID when get 15 people living in one bedroom apartment.
Truth. But not just the micros do that.
Local Hawaiians live like that too!
Also hard when my ancestors took your land eehhh? LMAOO 🤡 😢
BTW I didn't mean to go that far, just wanted to remind you that you have to look at yourself in the mirror before you talk about others.
The Patriot TB12 🤦🏽♂️🤣
Lol you thinking like one colonizer rn maybe it’s your 50% colonizer blood that’s talking rn but how you think all the native Hawaiians used to live back then?
They should accept them for who they are regardless
I dont blame these unfortunate people.Our immigration system needs to be fixed.If we had stricter conditions for becoming a citizen like being able to speak english,having an education or trade and not being eligable for entitlement programs Micronesians would seemlessly fit in with no problem.
Their country was used as grounds for nuclear testing by the USA; their invitation here was given because of that. Give them your support.
@Orbital Cooker The Marshall Islands are part of Micronesia.
@Orbital Cooker “marshallese islanders” are Micronesian just how Samoans are Polynesian
I'm not going to speak for myself, I'm going to speak for someone I don't know. :: but sometimes people call the cops because they are worried that young people don't have enough guidance to seek opportunities that the general public can agree are safe for everyone. Making money from selling drugs means you don't pay tax, you don't contribute, and you encourage others to sacrifice their futures in the public economy. If people think that they can call the cops on you, and then your future improves, they used to do it a lot more. It's not about race, you can see the individual, and see if they (as an individual) might be working toward a future that the general public feels safe around, or toward a future that might cause people harm. It's something old timers used to say, that the police aren't there to arrest and punish, the individual officers are only there because they want to help you when no one else will. When someone does murder, people still vote to let that murderer live. When people steal, people still vote to let that person have things, and when people call the police, it's not because of race, it's because they want that person who they call about, to have a bright future.
Whether your from Micronesia,Polynesia,Melanesia we are all Pasifika,and we are probably the smallest minority in population compared to much larger groups in this world,such as those from Asia,North America,South America,Africa,Europe,Australia.
You can't lump all Micronesian People as bad apples,because their is good and bad in every group.
We share the same austronesian ancestor as they do. We all the same people. They are some of the chill and nicest individuals that have a deep family oriented community that reminds me of my youth among my kupuna and my extended ohana.
Same ancestors but now the micros are distinctly different from the south east asians.. Micro share close cultural ties with the polys and melas.
Yeah my sister and cousins experienced this when they were in highschool and probably middle and elementary.
Because we are the newest immigrants in this age & time most of hawaii & including Guam when they see us frm the neighboring island they assume we come from a third world country & we do not have the right to live & obtain federal rights from the US government. One of the bloodiest battles were fought in Micronesia & not Guam. & to top it off the US uses our lands, air & space. The only difference is we gained independence. It may not be so much but we have rights to our own ancestral lands. To put in one stroke yesss we are all in this together!! Its only that some "Micronesians" feel they are superior over the rest.
It’s so sad what happened to these people, and all the locals here that are ignorant to serve them hate need to see how much they struggle. Please show them aloha. They are our island brothers & sisters - the government did these people wrong just like all the other islands that became colonized…and they had to start over with little to nothing. Unfortunately, poverty & no resources lead some of them to crime. The Micronesians I know were so funny & loving, we have much in common & they have a beautiful culture.
If you meet a Micronesian and he has trouble pronouncing the letter "L" in words, run away.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 that’s a good one
😂😂
2 years automachanics kaimuki here -88
All my experiences with most Micronesians has been a bad one. Not one of em that I’ve met has been nice, I live by a family of micros. And everyday they allow their older kids to constantly trash around where we live. They constantly are doing bad things, it’s not a stereotype, it’s statistics. If you wanna be treated nicely then treat others the same way. It has nothing to do with Micronesians as a whole. I’ve asked my neighbors multiple times to clean after themselves because they just throw their trash anywhere they please because they have no respect for Hawaii or Hawaiians. Instead these kids act like they can do anything. Super disrespectful. Any time there’s a fight you know a Micronesian bringing a knife or some type of weapon. Stop acting like everybody from Micronesia is about peace and love. Nobody is gonna deal with bullshit down here. From micros, haoles or anybody.
I live in Salt Lake and I see young teens maybe still in high school hanging out at bus stops late at night. They just another future welfare cases that will siphon the money out of the state.
Couldn't have said it any better
Santos you seeing this?

First of..you outa stop saying Micronesians..

Pay no mind, only ignorant people commenting.
The Micronesian people are more racial profiled because of the rep they give themselves that's the way I see it
@Aron Toulouse the bad rep they give more then other Polynesians out there
@Aron Toulouse most will mistake other's ethnicity I'm hawaiian mix people from the mainland thought I was either Mexican or any other race and that's common everywhere that's the way I see it
Understand that we faces many MANY problems that give us this reputation. It’s not something we want to have.
