Ok, so on the islands of Hawaii, local people (local hawaiians) get the benefit of sending their children to special schools, most ofhe time schools called Kamehameha. Only if you have some hawaiian blood can you enter. That and local hawaiians also get benefits over people who weren't born on the island in restaurants and stuff


now the question I propose to you Livewire is: do you find this racist??

i'm just curious

I think the school thing is a little dumb, but the local's discounts don't bother me.

I get local's discounts in Myrtle Beach all the time :]

I don't think its a question of whats racist or not. racism is something that lives in the mind. It's native culture preservation. I'm not as big on US History as i'd like to be. So this is prolly something kidd rune might be useful for. One of two things;

The people of Hawaii agreed to become a state of America. Then, this kamehameha (lol, dbz) school thing is ridiculous.

It was just colonized/annexed without much democratic process. Then yeah, it's their due.

No it is not

But it is funny to see how people do not find it racist but keep bitching against historically black schools.
