Hawaiian pizza is product of imperialism & settler colonialism. White settler invented it in Canada. Put pineapple on ham pizza. Named it bc fruit came from can of Dole Hawaiian pineapple. Sanford Dole, cuz of corp’s founder, aided in illegal overthrow of Hawaiian Kingdom’s govt.

Shout out to Professor Anne Spice at Ryerson University for inviting me to chat with their class about kalo, pineapple, the plantation economy, imperialism & settler colonialism in Hawaiʻi, and the fantasies exported about Hawaiʻi & their fictions about Hawaiian Indigeneity.
