"It's always laughable when the victims of racism are portrayed as racist"
Laughable.... no It is sad. What is on display here is not so much stupidity as it is ignorance. I have to constantly remind myself that I have lived here a long time while others have not. Not quite as old as the rocks on Mauna Kea, but I have been walking this beautiful Aina for a long time.
The population has grown, so many from the mainland that did not experience the 70's. We were busy building our lives and having fun!
Then there was thing called "Hawaiian Renaissance". We all got a dose of history and reality . Once you understand, you simply can not UN-understand. Everything will continually be viewed for me at least, thru this lens.
This is a State in a Republic now............but there is still the issue of Ceded lands & our fellow indigenous occupants of this Island.
They've been screwed by the State Government and that is root cause.
