    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.

          Swarming lands with your settlers and then claiming b-but they muh voted for it, is peak lib cracker imperialism. The french did the same in New Caledonia.

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