This video doesn't show how all of this unfolded,but I don't think she was attacked for being White,but rather she kept mouthing up to the Locals continuously.

I used to live in Guam,and I learned to "Respect the Locals"....The Locals don't like any outsiders coming in and mouthing up to them.

I felt bad for the The blonde lady,but she should've left the beach area and ignored them and get in her vehicle and leave,especially since she was alone.

When I lived in Guam I hardly noticed any racism,but racism and crime does happen there just like everywhere else,but Guam in my opinion is not a dangerous place,and I never seen any racism like this while at the beach.

They're both expensive as heck. I've been to Guam and Oahu

If we're comparing Oahu vs Guam I would choose Guam


If we're comparing Guam to like the big island i would probably choose the big island. I'm not a fan of Oahu but i like Guam. I would probably like the big island more than guam

It's good your specifying which island in Hawaii to compare,because when people say Hawaii it can be either the Big Island,Maui,Oahu,Kauai,Lanai,Molokai,(6 Main Islands),while Guam is just a single island.

The "Main Advantages" Guam has is it's closer to Asia and Australia for those that either like visiting those places or might have family/friends there,and also Guam's cost of living will always remain lower than any of the Hawaiian Islands. The ocean water in Guam is also warmer to swim in,while Hawaiian Waters can be rather cool by tropical standards.

The downside to Guam is that it might tip over, according to a U.S. congressman.

He's a strange man,the same as Margie who thought Guam was a foreign country and felt threatened by cookies being offered by The Guam Congressman and U.S Military Soldiers.

The cost of living is still really really high in Hawaii (I'm talking about the Big Island and any other island a mainlander would consider.)

Guam is ....gross. I'll put it that way. Natives are mostly nice but the island's dense population means it's dirtier and more crowded than Hawaii.

Just my 2 cents from my sources.

I've never found Guam to be dirty. If anything, I've seen more "dirty" parts of Hawaii, which shocks a lot of people who come here expecting everything to look like the Waikiki Beachfront. Plenty of rundown setups here.

The beach in Waikiki is a joke. Clearwater Beach in Fla is wider and much cleaner and costs half a much to live there.
Guam has bigger problem - all those brown snakes - even a troop of mongooses couldn't handle them

Hell I'm going to double down on my hot take on Guam.

It's just too crowded- even the proper tourist district is unpleasantly full of people. & The pollution is so bad along the coastline you can smell the garbage in the water in some places (this is reliable info.)

& Naturally Hawaii downplays their slummier neighborhoods. They wouldn't dare chase away tourism.

Tumon Bay,Guam is not as crowded as Hawaii's Beaches....The Hawaiian Islands received over 9 Million Visitors in 2022,while Guam I think received less than 500,000.

I don't remember Tumon Bay being polluted,but at times green algae forms from the sun,but is usually cleaned up and of course you see litter here and there at times,but nothing that bad compared to other parts of the World.

Your either someone that just wants to put Guam down for some bad experience you had there or maybe someone online from Guam offended you.

Guam is not sparkling clean like Singapore,but Guam is not as dirty as other parts of the World i've been to.
