Maui resort attack California family anti‑white slur haole hate crime investigation

On the night of July 17, a family from California vacationing at the Kaanapali Alii resort in West Maui was attacked by a group of local youths. Police reports say roughly 30 people were involved in the melee, which began near the pool and spread to the resort’s barbecue area.

At least six members of the family required medical treatment, and one man suffered a severe head wound that needed 13 staples after being struck with a chair. The family reported that attackers used the Hawaiian slur “haole” and shouted, “We’re going to beat up the haole boys.”

Maui police arrested a 20‑year‑old resident on suspicion of assault; he was later released while the investigation continues. The family is urging authorities to pursue a hate‑crime investigation, citing the verbal threats and racial slur used before the assault.
