Comment: Peter Apo says,  “But the final arbiter of that question ought to be for Hawaiians to vote on it in a democratic process."  
What no Kingdom model?  Apo lauds a "democratic process"?  That's exactly why the citizenry overthrew the Old Kingdom model in favor of DEMOCRACY.  The 1893 revolution was Not against a race, but a form of government that had become illegitimate, and corrupt. 
The new Republic of Hawaii's Constitution gave the vote to the folks that had been born in Hawaii, or had become Naturalized Citizens before formation of the new Republic.
This is why the Polynesians under the new Democratic Republic had two thirds majority voting power, and had the majority representation in the Republic of Hawaii Legislature, and whose Speaker of the House was a Polynesian.  Polynesians controlled the vote in Hawaiian all the way to Statehood, when everyone could then vote.
This just exposes them as racial supremacists.  They talk about creating a nation based solely on race.
