I've stayed out of the current Hawaiians-Only election thread because I think it is far too divisive, but there was a comment there tonight I find very disturbing. I wonder if someone can clarify what was meant.

Given the author, I'll ignore the blatant racism, but can someone explain to me how eating human parts is not cannibalism?
