Are we talking about the term Hawaiian like Californian, Texan, Alaskan, New Yorker, etc? or Hawaiian like Mexican, Cherokee, English, French? Yes, he is from Hawaii making him a Hawaiian. But he is also not Hawaiian (the ethnic group).
When I dissected it - my former husband was Texan (he is a real Mc Coy *** no pun intended *** on his mother's side) - but his ethnic group many generations previous was French. So is he a Texan as Obama is Hawaiian? or French as Obama is not Hawaiian?
