My father-in-law is Japanese-Hawaiian, and him and my mother-in-law go to Hawaii at least once a year. I hear no complaints. But, I have often heard from others that there is an overt dislike against anyone who isn't a native by many locals, which is unfortunate. Maybe the speed limit barrier is just an excuse to be rude, a "get off my island" gesture. I don't know, I've never been, though my in-laws have a time share so it's probably an inevitability that we end up there some day. It's natural to feel protective of such a wonderful place, I'd guess!
