  • If you have Hawaiian blood, you are Hawaiian. If you don't have Hawaiian blood then you are not Hawaiian. Simple as that. Just because you live in Hawai'i or were born here doesn't make you Hawaiian.

  • @wadaman808

    Just curious, what is your racial background? Im half German half Swedish. My grandparents on my fathers side are from Germany & both sets of great grandparents on my mothers side are from Sweden. I do have an ancestor from Germany on my mothers side somewhere in the early 1700s so I guess Im a bit more German.

  • Human.

  • Hawaii is a place, not a race. The original immigrants to the islands came from somewhere else too. Somehow, you consider them "Hawaiian", but not the later waves?

  • Ohana is more than blood, as any casual inspection of the ancient Hawaiian tradition of hanai will show you.

    He Hawaii au; he mau Hawaii kakou a pau. I am Hawaiian; we are all Hawaiians.

  • @WADAMAN808 Native Hawaiian. The Kingdom of Hawaii was not race-based. Back in the 1800s all people born or naturalized in Hawaii were Hawaiians.

  • @kauinoapono

    Good answer.

  • @wadaman808

    No answer? Must be a bitch wanting to be a racist while being multiracial. What a loser.

  • @wadaman808

    I never said I was Hawaiian & I don't live in Hawaii. I was just curious as to what your racial background was.

    Why the hostility? If you are proud of your heritage please state it.

  • @voglbop i don't give a fuck what your racial background is. if you don't have ONE DROP of Hawaiian blood then YOU AREN'T HAWAIIAN. fuck, go back to Germany!
