Absent any epithets, how is this "racism" exactly?

Perhaps the people claiming the lack of reading ability is racism, haven’t read the definition of racism.

I'm sure the protestors have their own definition of racism but this is what I found:
quote:
Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity. Modern variants of racism are often based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. Wikipedia

social perceptions of biological differences between peoples

Students at Kamehameha Schools are biologically different?

Media Release (Update 5)

Police assigned to be in place for the TMT protestor blockade and encampment on Mauna Kea access road continued the stepped-up traffic enforcement efforts on Daniel K. Inouye Highway (Route 200) which began on (August 15).

The continuing efforts of police during the new week-long period covering last Thursday (September 12) to date, has resulted in the issuance of an additional 547 traffic citations and 11 suspects arrested for 18 offenses. The 547 citations were categorized as follows:

* Speeding (209)
* Excessive Speeding (2)
* Seatbelt (46)
* Child Restraint (1)
* Cellular Phone/Electronic device (9)
* Tint (5)
* No Driver’s License (20)
* No Insurance (22)
* Unsafe vehicle (28)
* Other moving violation (22)
* No License plate (26)
* Regulatory (157)
* Parking (0)

The 18 arrested offenses were categorized as follows:

* Driving under the Influence of Intoxicants (5)
* Contempt/Failure to appear warrants (5)
* An open container of alcohol (2)
* Driving with a Revoked License (1)
* Driving without an operator license (2)
* No insurance (2)
* Promoting a dangerous drug (1)

Assigned officers also conducted a non-traffic related arrest on Friday (September 13) upon locating a theft suspect within the protest camping area near Mauna Kea access road. The theft offense had been previously reported to police occurring two days prior in Kalapana. The suspect was found in the same tent where six Department of Transportation (DOT) plastic barricades had been located on (August 30).

In August officers conducting traffic enforcement and patrols on Daniel K. Inouye Highway came across a verbal altercation among protestors and while addressing that situation observed several barricades in a tent. Subsequently, in that instance, a felony theft case was generated and a suspect interviewed under Advise of Rights, the barricades were recovered and returned to the side of Daniel K. Inouye Highway.

The combined total of the 5-week long Daniel K. Inouye Highway enhanced traffic enforcement efforts by Hawai#699;i Police Department stands at 2784 citations issued and 35 persons arrested for 57 offenses.

The effort will continue for the duration of the ongoing protest situation to promote the safety of motorist and pedestrians alike.

Someone set up a phony TMT Twitter account recently, which copies the appearance of the legitimate site, but with race-baiting messages designed to provoke protestors:

An unverified Twitter account has closely copied the appearance of the official Thirty Meter Telescope account and is sending out derogatory and culturally insensitive posts.

The account calls itself TMT Hawaii Community Outreach and uses the handle @OutreachTMT. It has adopted deceptive practices like using the same avatar and banner of photos of the official TMT account and linking to the TMT Hawaii website.

1) The TMT has no profits
2) The fund is not divided among all students. It's for STEM grants and scholarships on Hawaii Island. For instance:

• College scholarships totaling over $325,000 have been awarded to 83 Hawai'i Island students with financial need.

It seems some teachers have time during the workday to make stuff up about the TMT and post it to PW.

Students and other protestors in California block TMT contributor’s employees from their workplace:

Organizer Britt Yap said frustrated foundation employees and others who work in the building drove off. “We didn’t tell them they couldn’t come in. They just couldn’t park here today. You can park somewhere else and go into the building,” she said.

Native Hawaiian Britt Yap who lives and works in California then went on to explain how TMT funding comes from the mainland, possibly like the income from her own business?

"The money and the power is really coming from California, the board members, the investors, it's all here in California and we see it all playing out in the mauna," said Yap.
