A friend who is a psychologist to law enforcement told me that offenses are determined by the offended. Intentional or not its the perception of offense that makes it legitimate. I think it is particularly unfortunate that an actual Pacific Islander would be expelled from a forum which is based entirely around the derivative trappings of islander culture... due to a possible misunderstanding. - Hodadhank
