Yeah. That's not a hate crime.
I'd get called a haole 5x walking two blocks to the beach. Especially in an area that's still mostly native, they ain't going to just jump to using the same words for you they use with lifelong members of the community.
You're literally an outsider and need to make an effort to be welcomed into the community. Until then, you're going to be called the word for outsider. Well, technically it means "soulless" but it's not as bad as it sounds.
Edit:
To clarify like a lot of Asian communities a lot of importance is put on family units.
So amongst themselves, everyone is: auntie/uncle niece/nephew brother/sister/cuz
If you're not part of their family group, they ain't going to call you that.
You're a "haole" and that's all it means, one translation is just "not of the island". It's not automatically a bad thing, and rarely is.
But lots of haoles are dicks too. So sometimes you get checked to make sure you're cool.
Haole means white. There's history and original translations that have different meanings, but in modern usage I've only ever heard it meaning white. It's definitely not used for "not family" and it's not really applied to other races unless it's to describe them as being like stereotypical white people. Uncle/auntie is just an informal honorific for anyone older than you (no race or family restrictions). I'd be described as a haole and referred to as uncle by people younger than me with no implications about where I'm from. There are plenty of white people born in Hawaii that wouldn't think twice about being labeled haole, even some with Native Hawaiian ancestry.
It's not necessarily a slur though, that depends on context, but in the context of threatening or beating the shit out of someone it's kind of hard to argue they were just using it neutrally. Like it's not impossible, but you're really starting at a disadvantage.
