Contrary to popular beliefs, Caucasians (who identify themselves as being exclusively from that group) are the largest ethnic population in the State (at about 24%), according to the latest HMSA "Health Trends in Hawai'i" report just released. There is no one ethnic group that comprises a majority anymore, although if you lump non-Caucasians together (all Asians and Hawaiians and part Hawaiians) that combined group would comprise the majority. Of course, Maui's population kinda skews the whole thing because Caucasians comprise more than 34% of the population on the Valley Isle (hence the perjorative "Mainland Maui").
If you're really interested in knowing where Hawai'i is headed demographically, you should check out this website. There are more elderly people in Hawai'i than just about anywhere else, and they tend to live longer too, which means that Hawai'i will have more need for services to the elderly.
