    I think it's more than a little dishonest to say that the native Hawaiians voted for this. At the time of this referendum, they composed about 15% of the population and their culture and identity had been suppressed for generations.

    The US government even admitted in 1993 that the native people never agreed to this.

      almost as dishonest as claiming is said something I didn’t and then moving the goalposts to win an argument…

      irrelevant. sad, but irrelevant. thy got to vote, just like anyone else, and, even by your numbers, 2/3 of THAT population voted for statehood.

      The US government even admitted in 1993 that the native people never agreed to this.

      that’s not what that says, but it’s nice to know how easy it is for you to lie to try to get ahead in an argument. “winning” online debates must be very important for you.

          so, when you can’t argue with facts, you rest to redefining words, personal insults, and racist slurs.

            I didn’t argue with you, I made clear statements about your nature and your character. Its up to you to change that and if you refuse, well thats just proves me right in the end.

              yeah, that’s why I said “when you can’t argue…”

              I made clear statements about your nature and your character

              you had a tantrum and hurtled racist slurs and insults

              well thats just proves me right in the end.

              you’e right because you have racist tantrums and can’t make rational, fact-based arguments? interesting take...
