"The hot economy is attracting poorly educated immigrants who can have
problems fitting in. Groups of young Micronesians from Western Pacific
islands such as Chuk sometimes fight with other groups in low-income
Honolulu neighborhoods, police reports say."

Poorly educated Chuukese?  You don't say . . .

Nope.  Rec.scuba has long been on the cutting edge.  We reported
problems with uneducated Chuukese well before USA Today.

I especially appreciated your Chuuky guest interviews here that helped
shed light on the uneducated, violent and sexually frustrated
Chuukies.

While vacationing on an island in the Pacific, the rec.scuban emptied an
Ingram Mac Model 10 into a woman while screaming "you dumb fucken bitch!"
I'm not sure I'd call that a guest interview with an islander.

So how do the "immigrants" get there?  Walk?  Drive?  Put 55 gallon
drums around a 55 Chevy pickup and paddles on the rear wheels?

Hawai'i isn't an easy place to get to, and Chuk isn't exactly on many
common routes.
