You have got to be kidding right? The entire tiki movement in my humble opinion was based on the Polynesian people, lifestyle, and culture the GI's were trying to bring to the good ol' USA, and obviously Polynesian people would not be considered "white people" so how one would think its just for white people is beyond me. I am sure as in all large groups of people there are forms of bigotry but I for one who has been to most every tiki event there is have not seen it. The only people that I see that have been segregated so to speak are the people who act like Jacka**es and color has nothing to do with that for sure. As far as I am concerned all are welcome. Sorry if I offended anyone and I apologize to the JA's of the world for singling you out.
