Don’t blast Pidgin column
A writer who berated Wally Camp’s column as “racist” for the illustration of the word “pake” is another example of the less people know of other cultures, the more they find fault with it. Such condemnatory statements are misplaced.
Remember how these same critics tried to have us believe the word “haole” was a very, very bad word and shouldn’t be used? Anne Medve’s letter (WHT April 21 letters) was right on when she said Wally’s columns on Pidgin are a delight. They are! There’s a saying: take away the language and you take away a culture. Keep it coming, Wally!
