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


-- Posted by acalypha at 1:11 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

i guess so


-- Posted by xBeautifulTragedyx at 1:11 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

Nope, I don't.


-- Posted by katjassidekick at 1:12 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

Yes.

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 :]

No- i guess it's just an islander thing

Kinda.


-- Posted by babygurl 2008 at 1:13 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

No


-- Posted by LittleItaly at 1:13 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

no i do not


-- Posted by kidd rune at 3:11 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

No, it's not racist.


-- Posted by The Artful Dodger at 4:19 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

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.


-- Posted by jakelong at 4:22 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

No it is not

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

hahaha a school called Kamehameha? Do they wear orange jumpsuits with asian insignias too?

Oh and I'd say it's only racist if it was created for the sole purpose of preventing certain races from entering. It could be simply for teaching more Hawaiians about their heritage etc etc. where someone who isn't Hawaiian would generally feel out of place.


-- Posted by whoisabs at 5:32 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

So we should have more schools that are for teaching white people more about their heritage etc.?

Sure why not but you and I both know your people would fuck it up once it lets out to the public.

-=ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE US A WHITE SCHOOL HAS OPENED FOR ANY CAUSCASIAN STUDENTS WILLING TO APPLY=-

*meanwhile in Alabama*

"Holy hell an all white universiteh? c'mawn chuck! Tell the new american skinheads and the white surpremacist organization!"

Suddenly you've got books on lynching and white superiority being thrown into the mix, then uproar all over the states occur yada yada yada you know..

Compare the number of caucasians you have met to the number of Nazi/Skinhead/KKK members.


-- Posted by Headst0ck at 5:57 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

The fuck does that have to do with anything? White surpremacists and members of the KKK are OBSESSED with anything white. They spend their time, their heart, and soul on internet forums expressing their hatred for other people and promoting their own skin color. You honestly think the average white guy who doesn't devote his life to race/ethnicity and hating other people wil be in first in line for this all white school? An all white school will market solely to bigots. Want to know the real reason why none of you can't have white pride? Sure there are the idiots like Sharpton and Jackson who want to keep you down a notch, but the real people perpetuating this negative side to white pride are these hate organizations. What's always in their slogan? White Pride forever. White pride worldwide.

There now stop seeing things so one dimensionally because you need to stick by your "peeps" so much and start using common sense.

Kamihamiha is from anime, that's where that came from. That was what I found first when I searched your thing.

Well, many heritages are dieing out, and some are already dead.

I say that it's perfectly normal. People need to focus on their lives and not what other people do unless it effects them.

The most important part of the mission of the Foundation is to support the operations of the New Jersey Institute for Italian and Italian American Heritage Studies, a not-for-profit entity that was created by the New Jersey State Legislature, under the auspices of the New Jersey Italian and Italian American Heritage Commission. Through this relationship, the Foundation:

Funds educational programs at the university level through the New Jersey school system and in the community;
Advances Italian and Italian American studies and language instruction in schools, communities and universities;
Encourages dissemination of positive media images regarding Italian Americans; and
Assists in coordinating the statewide activities and public events of the Italian American organizations in New Jersey.

The Max Kade Institute (MKI) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is part of the College of Letters and Science and governed by an Executive Committee, and with critical support from an active and growing Friends organization. The Institute has an administrative staff which includes a Director, Assistant Director, Librarian, clerical staff and numerous graduate and undergraduate students as well as volunteer help.

Our Institute is named after Dr. h.c. Max Kade (1882-1967). After emigrating from Schwäbisch Hall, Germany to New York City in 1905, he became successful and well known in the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Kade established a foundation in New York to promote scientific and technical progress and to further the peaceful coexistence of nations. He was also committed to advancing German-American relations. The initial grant to found our Max Kade Institute was made by the President of the Max Kade Foundation of New York, the late Dr. Erich Markel, in 1983.

The Institute's mission is twofold: first, scholarly research and documentation; and second, outreach to a broader audience. Ongoing research involves faculty and students from many departments (as well as visiting scholars) examining how German-speaking immigrants and their descendants have both shaped their North American environment and been shaped by it. Outreach efforts center on bringing a better understanding of issues of German-American immigration, history, culture, and language to a general public as well as to school children.

Kamehameha is the name of a dynasty of hawaiian kings

it's not from anime, anime co-opted the term

http://www.italiannewjersey.com/about.shtml


We're not all Italian. That includes me. I'm an Anglo-Saxon descendant of the Nordish subrace. I am majorly Phalian with a bit of other nordish in me. I am, in no way, Italian. I am not German either, yet I am from Germanic tribes (Germanic is not German).

Irish is the 2nd most common ancestry in the USA, and German is the most common.

The thing is, I don't look at my history and say "I have people that were German/Irish/English citizens" I look at my history and say "I have this genetic makeup that is more common in the central Swedish/Norwegian area with some from the Northern Black Sea region.


Some of our ancestors helped found the USA and were here before they kept track of names.


Some of us, technically, aren't dashed like Irish-Americans, German-Americans, and Italian-Americans.


Some of us are into our race, not our countries. My race occupied the majority of Europe, not just Germany, Ireland, or Italy.

Is there an institute for that? If so, will you provide a link and/or some information?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamehameha_I

I'm sorry I didn't first search the Oh-so-powerful Wikipedia!

I came to this site:
http://finalkamehameha1.tripod.com/

and then I further researched and found out about the Hawaiian link to it.


But, I explained the orange suit guys to you, knowing that the word could be used in either sense.

EDIT: And by the "that's where it came from" I meant the orange suit comment, moron.

Wikipedia is still better than ending up with an anime link
