I think I just confused my supervisor as I asked her if she saw those Caucasian dolls dancing like how Caucasian people do, or the Black dolls of how Popolos like to dance, or if she saw the Japanese, Chinese or even Mexican dolls. She asked if that was something new.Then I told her they actually don't exist but these "Hawaiian" ones do. She asked what did that mean to me, and I told her what hula is. She said, "maybe that lady is from Hawaii?" Hell no, she wasn't! Although I understand that perhaps a person from Hawaii may have those on their dashboard (certainly not an abundance of them) but I seriously doubt this person was a local, especially since locals, or should I say a particular ethnic group (or two) like to have those faux "Ikaika" helmets.I have yet to see other ethnic groups portrayed in that manner, where things of their culture that have either religious significance or some other type of cultural value are commercialized and seen as "cute", "endearing" or the worse, as many have told me...."flattering!"
