Akā inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana i nā ʻanuʻu e hoʻoponopono ai iā ʻoe iho, ke haʻi nei ʻoe i ke ao nei, E nānā, paʻakikī kēia inoa, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hopohopo e noʻonoʻo. ʻO kēia makemake ʻole e hana pono e ka hope pelekikena o ʻAmelika e hōʻike ana inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa iā ia pololei ka inoa, no ke aha ʻoe e mālama ai i ka BIPOC i kēlā me kēia lā i kou ola a i ʻole nā mea kaulana ʻē aʻe (e like me Uzoamaka Aduba, Hasan Minaj, Mahershala Ali a i ʻole Quvenzhane Wallis)?
3. He microaggression pōʻino

ʻAe, pehea lā mākou e hana maikaʻi ai?
Hoʻokahi huaʻōlelo: E nīnau. ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa āu e hana ai, ʻo ia ke kamaʻilio a nīnau i nā nīnau kūpono. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hana i nā wahi inclusive inā ʻaʻole mākou e noʻonoʻo i nā manaʻo ʻike ʻole e pili ana i nā inoa o nā kānaka. Eia kekahi mau mea e noonoo ai:
- E nīnau i kekahi pehea e haʻi ai i ko lākou inoa. E hoʻomaka me ka, 'E kala mai. Makemake au e pololei. Pehea ʻoe e haʻi ai i kou inoa?' aiʻole 'Pehea ʻoe makemake iaʻu e haʻi i kou inoa?' Hiki iā ia ke hoʻokomo a mahalo ʻia kekahi. Ke hoʻomaka nei ʻoe e kāhea i kekahi ma ko lākou inoa maoli. Inā ʻoluʻolu lākou, e noi iā lākou e hoʻokaʻawale i ka phonetically a hoʻolohe pono i kā lākou ʻōlelo ʻana.
- Hiki ke nīnau hou. Ua hui ʻoe i kēlā kanaka i hoʻokahi mahina a ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike iā lākou no kekahi mahina ʻē aʻe. Hiki ke nīnau pehea e haʻi hou ai i ko lākou inoa. 'Makemake paha ʻoe e hana hou i ke ʻano āu e ʻōlelo hou ai i kou inoa?' Hōʻike ia iā lākou makemake ʻoe e loaʻa ka ʻōlelo kūpono. Maikaʻi ke kala aku a hōʻike i kekahi ua hana hewa ʻoe akā makemake ʻoe e aʻo.
- Mai noʻonoʻo nui i ko lākou inoa. Mai mālama i ke kanaka me he manaʻo no waho o kēia ao. Nui nā no-nos, 'No hea mai kēlā inoa?' 'He inoa ʻano ʻē. Aloha wau iā ia.' 'Pehea ka ʻōlelo a kou haku, mau hoaaloha a makuahine paha? He paʻakikī loa.' ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia e like me ka pīhoihoi, ʻike ʻia e like me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana a hoʻohālikelike iā lākou e like me kekahi.
- Mai hāʻawi i kahi inoa inoa. E ʻoluʻolu, mai lawe ʻoe iā ʻoe iho e kāhea i ke kanaka ma kahi inoa ʻē aʻe a i ʻole inoa inoa ʻē aʻe (me ka ʻae ʻole o lākou). Pehea kou manaʻo inā hoʻomaka kekahi e kāhea iā ʻoe i kahi inoa ʻokoʻa loa no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou makemake e aʻo i kou inoa?
Hana hewa mākou a pau, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke haʻalele i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole o ka haʻi hewa ʻana i nā inoa BIPOC. Paʻa nā inoa i ka manaʻo, ʻike a me nā kuʻuna, a pono mākou e mahalo i kēlā ʻoiai inā he ʻokoʻa loa lākou mai ko mākou ʻike
No laila ʻae, ʻo ia ka Hope Pelekikena Kamala (Comma-lah) Harris.
