Non-Hawaiian citizens

If there were no revolution, most of us "locals" without Hawaiian blood would be citizens by birth with rights equal to those of Hawaiian blooded citizens. That's what the monarchy wanted. Why then is it now fair to recognize a government for Native Hawaiians alone. I love Native-Hawaiians and I want them to include me too ! Besides being born here, my grandparents were citizens of the Kingdom. This sure sounds like racial prejudice doesn't it? Paul de Silva Via the lnternet
