Keith, my wife and I love your guys content. When it came to the state of Hawaii's flag, we appreciate that you said your opinion. My wife, being of Hawaiian descent, and I agree with you about the colonialism of the official state flag (especially given the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by American businessmen and Hawaii only becoming a state because, at the time, the only people allowed to vote were American citizens living in Hawaii, not the Hawaiian people) but your opinion of the red, yellow, green flag, we think, stems from you from not understanding the symbolism of the colors and what the symbol is in the middle so we thought we would explain: green represents the 'aina (which means land), red for the koko (which means blood, as in the blood of the Hawaiian people), and then yellow represents the feathers used in the sacred capes of the 'Ali'i (which is the royalty). The symbol in the middle is of two canoe paddles crossed behind a kahili (which is a royal standard of the Hawaiian monarchy - which is like a European coat of arms but it's made of yellow feathers on a long pole carried by a servant of the King or Queen either ahead of or behind them (or both) in a procession). A flag with palm trees and leis and roasted pigs isn't culturally representative of Hawaii - it's more representative of tourism and colonization - but we get what you meant.
