It is bigoted because it implies that non-natives are rarely educated enough to comment on things Hawaiian.

But your post has me confused, it's okay to refer to non-natives as non-native, and Koreans as Korean but it not okay to refer to go! as Hawaiian?

That is what all this about, right? Who has the right to use what words?

Slippahs edited position concerning "someone who has lived in Hawaii for over a decade, reads the newspaper and watches the news, didn't know that go! wasn't a part of Hawaiian Airlines. Therefore, go! successfully convinced some that it was a "Hawaiian Airline" through its print advertising and website" is valid.
