    Yes, it’s less racially diverse (less than 5% mixed ethnic). By the way, you are comparing a city with a state.

    Only in the mind of Tim. Care to cite statistics that support this rediculous claim?

    Typical haole (foreigner). Judge Hawai‘i’s people based on laws instead of relationships.

    Yes, I am a bit irritated the way Tim continues to badmouth Hawai‘i through his ignorance of its diverse multicultural and multi-racial populace and political climate unique to the United States. Malihini like him are not representative of the majority, though, and he shouldn’t be chastised, as he is just reflecting his perspective as an outsider (haole) living in the Islands.

    We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.

      I just thumbed thru the latest issue of People at work this morning and quickly went thru all the victims that got snuffed out by the guy.



      Hate to say that they had promising futures but.......
      I got very sad even though I did not know them personally
