you guys are all fuckin dumb as hell. only supremists give a **** about bloodline and purity in the blood. it doesnt matter if their mixed or not. the only question is how well will they be able to hold on to culture and its past as the “bloodline” thins? i mean im half filipino n i hold to my culture just as a “pureblood” would. doesnt make me any less filipino as the next.

That’s the point I was trying to make. Bloodline (or blood quantum) doesn’t matter when it comes to preserving your culture.

read what was actually written and then tell me again who is dumb as hell?

I don’t understand the big deal about the bloodlines. Yes, Hawaiians are ‘thinning out’, but does that make them any less Hawaiian as long as they stick to their heritage? I was in Hawaii on vacation and saw many hawaiians disregard their on culture, while I saw many others passionately embrace it. Besides, curt, rude language doesn’t solve anything….

The Hawaiian culture is being revitalized more than many people realize. The Hawaiian people are proud of their heritage. Hula preserves the language; the chants tell the stories of the past and keep the culture strong. Whether one is pure Hawaiian or not is a mute point. It’s in their blood and it’s in their heart and they’re proud of that.

the comments are supposed to be on the VIDEO..yikes…im not from the islands, but was married to a local and my kids are part hawaiian, or “hapa” and i really think the embracing of the culture comes from the inside.

embracing the culture is one thing, but bloodlines matter when the US government uses it to disenfranchise a native people from what used to be their legally recognized sovereign nation. Native Hawai’ians need to move from within and start working with those who support them to buy their lands back and secede. Too long they have been subjugated to the tourist-ization of their beautiful culture and left dependant on a fickle trickle….
