Hawaiian is an ethnicity. Hawaiian is used in specific contexts in Hawaii and using it to describe a specific type of shirt is not one of them. It has nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with accuracy and respect for a group of people.
- an ethnic group; a social group that shares a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like.
- ethnic traits, background, allegiance, or association

Is it not unique (in origin) to Hawaiian culture?

That you think this has anything to do with "respect" is precisely the problem I'm talking about. It's a style of shirt. Even if I didn't like the style, how in god's name does one interpret this as "not respecting" Hawaiians as a group?
