that was my 1st impression when the Micros started to migrate into Hawaii 5 or so years ago. Today I see very nice youthful, thoughtful, hard working Micros in our local fastfood joints.
imo, the 1st wave didn't care, they played at work and talked back to their superiors, parents let their kids loose on the roadways and giving stink eyes driving thru the narrow lane. Man, so lazy letting their kids run on the roadways while lazing back on a bench. No wonder why a lot of people thought less of them. Not the Micros fault because of what America did to their land but... Come on, get up and get with it.
I even had a Micro co-worker who was self-conscious about being a Micro, any time she felt she was being biased against in her work you could see she was quick to view it as being Racist.
SAD having to live and work li dat.
