    Unless you can explain what the history of Hawaii would have to do with a democratic vote on whether to be American or Chinese, you can weave and bob all you want, but you have no point.

    If Hawaii was given the democratic choice of “be American” or “be Chinese,” the only people their history should matter to is the voters themselves.

    And I’m guessing you’re not Hawaiian, so it seems a bit paternalistic to speak on their behalf.

    You REALLY should read up on it at least a little, before you continue to berate me about the subject.

    Its not my job to educate you, but here’s one link to get you started.

    As I mentioned before…

    Lets just say that the wishes of the Hawaiian people in the past were not honored very well.

      I see, so they shouldn’t be allowed to democratically vote on which country to be a part of because their wishes won’t be honored.

      Still sounds paternalistic.

        I’m not saying that at all. Please don’t put words in my mouth (again).

        Go read up on their history, and then my comment will have context and you’ll understand it.
