Is it true that being a White person in Hawaii is like being a Black person in the South?
Bump, because I'm genuinely curious.

kinda, they will shout shit at you in the rural parts away from the coast like "go away haole boy" and will occasionally beat the shit out of you if you try to surf on "their" beach

"haole" is a term they will often call whites, and it is the same thing as calling a black person a nigger, but whites rarely do shit about it cause Hawaiian whites are very laid back

Tourists and recent mainlanders are annoying as fuck and pompous.
Long term mainlanders who been here twenty plus years either assimilate, mellow down or associate with other mainlanders who are pompous as fuck.
Local haoles born on the islands for generations who engage other locals as the same people and whose family have shown respect to elders, leaders and their neighbors are treated just about the same.
If you're black though so long as you are kind you'll be fine and treated well on Maui and Big Island. Don't act like a douchey Haole though.
Bump. I too want to know what it's like

No it's not. Haole loosely means "those without the breathe of Hawaii", in essence those without ties to Mana.
Blacks arent haole they are popolo the name of a wild plant with black fruits. Probably because the first blacks actually assimilated into Hawaiian society and because back then there was more overlap between Kanaka and Cape Verdeans.

I guess how Canadians treat Chinese is how they generally feel about white people turning their island into a tourist spot and taking their waves brah.
