It's not a man hug, it's a black thing, like the fist bump. Don't worry, all you white guys will learn how to be coold in the next four years.

It's not a man hug, it's not a black thing, it's a Hawaii thing. You see someone, you hug them. Briefly. Men, women, children.Except children must also give the adult a quick perfunctory kiss, along with a "hi, auntie/uncle.."

It's all about Hawaii. Get used to it.
