    I think it’s more than a little dishonest to say that the native Hawaiians voted for this.

    almost as dishonest as claiming is said something I didn’t and then moving the goalposts to win an argument…

    At the time of this referendum, they composed about 15% of the population and their culture and identity had been suppressed for generations.

    irrelevant. sad, but irrelevant. thy got to vote, just like anyone else, and, even by your numbers, 2/3 of THAT population voted for statehood.

    The US government even admitted in 1993 that the native people never agreed to this.

    that’s not what that says, but it’s nice to know how easy it is for you to lie to try to get ahead in an argument. “winning” online debates must be very important for you.

        Don’t forget about saying the settlers have a legitimate say on what happens to Hawaii.

        Swarming lands with your settlers and then claiming b-but they muh voted for it, is peak lib cracker imperialism. The french did the same in New Caledonia.

        so, when you can’t argue with facts, you rest to redefining words, personal insults, and racist slurs.

        classy

            I didn’t argue with you

            yeah, that’s why I said “when you can’t argue…”

            I made clear statements about your nature and your character

            you had a tantrum and hurtled racist slurs and insults

            well thats just proves me right in the end.

            you’e right because you have racist tantrums and can’t make rational, fact-based arguments? interesting take…
