hi. i have been reading a lot about how hawaii became a state and it is terrible what happened. so i know that many hawaiians would be upset about what happened to their ancestors and consequently creates problems for themselves. however i don't see how it could now go back to being an independent country. would everyone who can't prove they are 100% (50%?) (25%?) hawaiian ancestry be kicked out? about the entire united states, like many other countries, originated by stealing land from some group of people. in any case i think everyone should try to live together peacefully knowing that international conquest has pretty much reached its end.
but my question for this post is: i am a white person. when i go to hawaii should i expect to be treated and feel like a black person in the south felt in the 1940's? i have never been to hawaii but that's what it seems like the situation is based on my internet reading. i hope i am wrong and it is just a few extremists. again i know it is sad what happened to the hawaiian people but i'm not sure that its appropriate to hate people of a certain race based on the mistakes of their ancestors.
