Though I was born and raised here I don't  identify as Hawaiian. There is a difference. I am of American nationality and transracial.

Such irony! For this person was just like you, i.e. claimed to know it all! I'm sure he'd challenge you and assert that you "are very mistaken". I don't care if you believe me or not, it's a real person who claims some degree of "hawaiianess". "When I asked him who was going to come and seize my property and deport me he cited some international law claiming that the U.S. military would be obligated to do the seizures and deportations. I'm not making it up. He knows everything.

Does this Hawaiian have any legal, historical, or academic background?  That could explain the depth of that person's understanding or misunderstanding on the legal aspects concerning the ending of an illegal occupation of a sovereign nation based on international law.


So you're acknowledging that all those signs we see and claims made all over the place (such as by Ing above) about "hawaiians" having been and being subject victims of "racism" are false, because they aren't a "race". Good to know. Thanks. What kind of efforts have you made to correct the liars or those who are "very mistaken" about their "race" claims?

Hawaiians are a nationality, not a race.  However, aboriginal Hawaiians living in their occupied nation has historically suffered gross discrimination, as currently defined by the US Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

A person can't get into Kamehameha Schools based on Hawaiian nationality.

stuff that didn't get quoted...

Chinese people are the various individuals or ethnic groups associated with China,[1] usually through
ancestry, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship or other affiliation.

Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in China, at about 92% of the population,[2] are often referred to
as "Chinese" or "ethnic Chinese" in English,[3][4] however there are dozens of other related and unrelated
ethnic groups in China.

China?  Are you for real?

Chinese is a race.  There are 56 ethnic groups who identify as Chinese.

How many more differences between China and the "Nation" of Hawaii do you need to see how unrelated the two are?

As I said, only those people who can trace their aboriginal lineage to the Hawaiian islands or provide legal documents to show their ancestors were recognized legal citizens of the Kingdom of Hawaii or the short-lived Republic of Hawaii, can claim to be Hawaiian nationals today.  Anyone arriving and settling in Hawaii after the illegal annexation of Hawaii by the US in 1898 do not have the right to call themselves Hawaiian or nationals of Hawaii.

Hawaii was illegally overthrow but that's just real life.  Since the prehistoric rise of.humans it's been survival of the fittest.  Man vs man, village vs village, tribe vs tribe, nation vs nation.  Every race of people has been conquered multiple times by insiders and outsiders.  That's just how history is and people evolve each time and advance to where we are now.
