Mind you, the fella WAS active in a lot of obviously non only non-profit but even charitable organizations and quite knowledgeable in many fields - does that make him a cultural imperialist?

Higgins will always be "a cultural imperialist"
is. was. evermore shall be. in perpetuity.
He is too damned stubborn and this, along with so many other things, will always keep him branded malihini and he would never become kama'aina. Too british. controlling. uptight. haole. dogmatic.
But that is what we love about him, of course.
