You don't need moral authority over an issue, having the experience of acting differently, to call someone out on something. If I'm trash, I'll still call someone else trash.

That said, while Ohana's mother didn't necessarily make an admirable decision, I wouldn't call her a bad person. Most people would not risk their job over something like this, especially considering Ohana's mother and grandmother aren't on good terms anyways (Which people seem to be failing to take into account here).

To stand up for something, there's got to be something in it for you. I doubt many would toss away their job for moral integrity unless something else they valued was on the line for them.
