Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first article only said that 10,000 residents left Hawaii. There's nothing that said the population decreased by 10,000 only that 10,000 resident during 2007 left the islands. We need the figures of total population at end of 2007 for those numbers to really mean anything. For all we know, 10,000 departed while 25,000 became residents. That would indicate an exodus from the mainland to Hawaii if we talking just numbers with no value to those numbers.

Hawaii remains a state where whites are in the minority. But the percentage of the state's population that is white is increasing, while the Asian, native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, and mixed-race population makes up a smaller percentage, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates..........

According to the census, the number of native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, alone or in combination, decreased by 8,664 residents.......

The report also showed the number of whites in Hawaii increased by 58,942 in the last six years, while the Asian population grew by 9,455 residents.....
