    It will be a scandal if the actress isn't half Scots.

        Those Hawaiians that had a problem with the Rock playing king Kamehameha had issues not just because he was a non-hawaiian, but because he was Samoan.

          This is only to be expected. Many Japanese had issues with a chinese actress playing a Geisha, while many Americans may not have known the difference.

              One Samoan versus how many Hawaiians? 10 Hawaiians? They might have a chance then.

              Lets see...
              notable Samoan fighters
              -David Tua (boxer)-Olympic bronze medalist and Former #1 ranked heavy weight contender and current top 10 ranked heavyweight in the world.
              -Rey Sefo(kickboxer)-famous K-1 superstar. He has beaten all the best kickerboxers in the world but unfortuanatly never won a grand prix.
              -Mark Hunt(Kickboxer and now MMA)-K-1 superstar. He won the K-1 WORLD GP tournament and is now an MMA star beating some of the best in world. Including Wanderlei Silva and Cro-cop.
              -MightyMo-(Kickboxer)K-1 star, said to have the heaviest hands in all of Kickboxing.
              -The great Samoan warriors. Tuna and Fata, who in the ancient days, lead the expulsion of the Tongans out of Samoa. And the greatest EVER, Tupua Lealofi Tamesese III, who during colonial rule, lead the Mau movement(sovereignty movement) and died in a peaceful protest. His contributions lead to Samoa gaining its independence.

                It's different because she was a Hawaiian princess and the movie is about Hawaiian history.

                  Hmmm, Google "Kaiulani" and see what the Number One hit is.

                  For some reason, I'm reminded of the time one of my daughters was in public elementary school, and Lei Day was approaching and the kids were all preparing their various ethnic displays, and the teacher — meaning to be kind, I assume — explained to her, "You're a haole, so you're nothing. So we'll make you an honorary Portuguese!"

                    If she was a Princess of Scotland then it would be different.

                    For some reason, I'm reminded of the time one of my daughters was in public elementary school, and Lei Day was approaching and the kids were all preparing their various ethnic displays, and the teacher — meaning to be kind, I assume — explained to her, "You're a haole, so you're nothing.

                    Well that teacher is an ass. Your daughter could have came as is and that would be a representation of her ethnicity.

                          it's a humbling experience to get the muli kicked by the women.

                            She isn't one of those kama`aina who left the islands and suddenly became native Hawaiian, is she?

                            Another confusing one is Kelly Preston but I'm more sure she is part-Hawaiian than I am Tia.

                            Anyone know what's up with these two?

                              The rather roundabout point I was making was that Kaiulani Cleghorn was a child of two worlds, and distinctly aware of that.

                              Scots — and Scottish descendents as we are — have no love for forced colonization, either physical or cultural. The Highland Clearances still rankle and that was three centuries ago. This was how my folks wound up in the colonies.

                              The Scotland Act of 1998 is just a baby step toward a free and independent Scotland. Maybe in our lifetime.

                              Robert Louis Stevenson was a mentor to Kaiulani and instilled in her a pride of her Scots heritage. It is a part of her story.

                              As for the dumbass elementary school teacher, she was trying to be helpful, but like many, she made the assumption that haoles have no ethnic heritage. It is treated as a blank spot to be ignored.

                              The punchline, though -- the other kids elected my kid Lei Day Queen!
