Comments on: Fewer Haoles in Hawaii’s legislature (and other trivia) http://www.ilind.net/2010/04/18/fewer-haoles-in-hawaiis-legislature-and-other-trivia/ Ian Lind • Online daily from Kaaawa, Hawaii Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:24:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Really http://www.ilind.net/2010/04/18/fewer-haoles-in-hawaiis-legislature-and-other-trivia/comment-page-1/#comment-19356 Really Fri, 23 Apr 2010 06:48:22 +0000 http://ilind.net/?p=4735#comment-19356 Those statistics must be self-reported or at least 5 years out of date. The site lists 0% of our legislators below the age of 35. In the last five years there have always been a few that fall under that all the way down to the 20s, and some still there today.

Also, the State Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Hawaii is probably majority haole, which is related to the disconnect between party activists, the base of Democratic voters and elected officials.

This is not just a question of race, but of culture, of manners and sensitivities. Case’s problem is not that he is haole, it’s that he’s so friggin’ haole in everything he does, every clumsy misstep he makes.
