Do you know who Native Hawaiians are? They are the poorest, most worse off ethnic group in the United States because when the U.S. stole, yes, STOLE the Hawaiian islands (Hawaii was a sovereign independent country) they were populated by Hawaiian Natives who were all killed off and/or stripped of their land, culture and language. Only in the 70’s were they able to reclaim whatever bits of their culture they managed to retain in secret but not before AMERICANS reduced it to Tiki culture and kitchsy exotic artifacts.

To this day these people are suffering with no end in sight and NO help at all. Most are homeless! Everything was taken from them and along came WWII and all the racist douchefucks decided to make Native Hawaiians sacred Tiki Gods just cute little souvenir relics. They created 34058948756 Hawaiian pin ups of which all were white women.

And now Pin Up culture continues to usurp Native Hawaiian dress, Gods and general aesthetics shamelessly. Grass skirts, leis, Hula, Tiki Gods, their bright floral prints, etc. They have been reduced to just that….As if they arent real, valuable, horribly oppressed people with a rich language, culture and customs. Its a slap in the face from the same careless white people who didnt give a fuck about them and left them dying and on the streets without anything.

Everywhere you look Asians are claiming to be “Hawaiian” and everytime you look up a photo of  Hawaiian you are liable to find nothing but tan asian people and not one single Native Hawaiian. Basically asians immigrants to Hawaii have also appropriated Hawaiian culture and identities and are now even perpetrating as something they arent and further obfuscating Hawaiians plight.

Everytime some douchefuck with no Native Hawaiian ancestry (or 1/16th of it) who happened to be born in Hawaii insists on being called Hawaiian it is SPIT in the face of REAL Native Hawaiians. Hawaiian is an ethnicity, a nationality, a culture. Either you are born one or you arent. Being born in a Sioux reservation wouldnt make you Sioux by birth, either.

And no Samoans arent the Natives of Hawaii! Native Hawaiians are Hawaiis natives. Samoans are the natives of *gasp* SAMOA!!!!! Right race, wrong nationality. Hawaiians are polynesian and do look alot like Samoans, the Maori and Tahitians, who, not surprisingly have also been raped and pillaged by white colonizers. However they DONT look at all asian unless they are mixed with them. Get a fuckin clue, people.

Some are still even ignant enough to try to argue Native Hawaiians dont exist because thats like calling yourself Californian. Yeah, if California was a sovereign country before maybe there’d be a comparison, assholes. How do you just erase an entire ethnic group like that?

There are less than 3000 Native Hawaiians left at this point. I am sure in just one generation when they are finally dead and gone the U.S. will suddenly recognize them and give them useless scraps.

Its the plan.

Don’t be an ignant douchefuck. RESPECT people and their culture. Read. And not just what seems convenient to you, either. :)

For all the white people living there who cry about how mean all 3000 of those people are oppressing them.

Pretty much why I do this:

when white people talk about how they went to Hawai’i & the Hawai’ians were rude to them.

Take your ass back to the Wanabii Nashun.

And guess what? Natives (or those who have claimed it) have been called out on appropriation as well.

Le awkward moment when they say they’re 1/4th Cherokee but aren’t enrolled…or know which band they’re from…or that Cherokee people never wore war bonnets.

The funniest time I ever witnessed was this girl who was LULZ 1/4th Cherokee and had no idea what tribal enrollment was. Lol but she told me she participated in our “Rituals” and “Indian meetings”.

To this day I wonder what these rituals and Indian meetings were… I still am curious.

OMFG “Indian Meetings” just makes me crack the fuck up! Like, what is that even? LMAO!!! XD

indian. meetings.

i used to tell people that i used to go to secret black people meetings but that was satire. i really can’t even imagine how anyone would take that seriously.

I need to specify that I lived in an area where white people were the minority and literally every single alcoholic bum that loitered around town was native. And there were a lot of them. Between all the ‘friendship centers’ and native outreach programs, and government funding to low income (ie. native) households, you can’t say that natives aren’t catered too. I know I’m generalizing everyone as a race and that’s wrong because there are some extremely respected and high-class native people and I am friends with many of them, but all of the ghettos and gangs and drug/alcohol violence comes from them. The parents are drunk all the time and spend their CTC cheques on their habits instead of their children, so the kids join gangs and do shit to make their own money. 

Please do not try to tell me this doesn’t happen. I used to work for a pay-day loan company and nearly 80% of our customers were native people who were borrowing against their child tax and welfare cheques. It sickened me to watch these people waste away every penny they owned- and believe me, they did. I used to have to sit and look at bank statements from customers and they spent little to no money on their children or homes. It was very sad.

The high school I went to had three youth aboriginal programs. For aboriginal youth. No white kids allowed basically. Did they have other general after school programs for lower-income white kids? Nope.

Half the scholarships awarded to students from my high school are race-specific scholarships. Are any of them for white kids? Nope. Blacks, Asians? Nope. Native only.

Maybe now that I’ve made things clear how hard it is to grow up without a lot of money and without the easily accessible resources it is. I’m not bashing on the native culture or the people because that isn’t what this is about and because I enjoy a lot of it.

I’m saying that maybe instead of simply catering to aboriginals, we should be taking care of everyone.

So while you can bitch that “Oh poor white kid couldn’t go to Disney for a year” or “poor white kid had to pay for his braces”, they’re two things that my family had to spend a lot of money on. I’ve had to try and save and work so hard to be able to go to a lower-end college in a shitty city so far away from my family because I couldn’t afford anything else. My native friend was granted full scholarships to Brandon University just for graduating high school. 

Again, this is coming from an extremely aboriginal community so take it all with a grain of salt.

That’s it. If it makes me a racist then so be it.

Oh, no one was denying that you were a racist, “satire” or not.

finished! My rebuttal after the jump.

No, please, dig your hole further.

You’re going to need a place to put those tears you’ve cried about how terrible it was having to go Disneyland late because you had access to health care.
