It sounds like Roy Choi has just spent some time with some down home Hawaiians
who think "Tiki" is disrespectful of their heritage, I know a few Hawaiians with those attitudes
and it is hard not to understand that point of view, to be fair.

But what is funny here is the hypocritical embracing of the Trader Vic’s influence
while dismissing the Tiki aesthetic.
