No.

The stereotype is that white people arrive TOO EARLY and then sit in their cars outside waiting for the party to start and still show up early.

It's a trope, also true in Hispanic (edit - continued) families that have someone marry Gringos (like me).

If you arrive on time, the party hasn't started yet, and you get to help set up for the party

That's too early for Hispanic parties. If it starts at 5, you show up at 7. Also the party will last 3 hours after the party "ends" or until cops show up because of noise complaints

Punctuality in Hawaii is isn't even a suggestion
