Hawaiian: Ethnicity v.s. Race
mulaconmula a réagi à votre billet “A COUPLE OF FACTS”
Hawaiian is an nationality booboo. Polynesians are an ethnicity of people. They are RACIALLY INDIGENOUS people, like most other indigenous they are also mixed with white (Europeans) and black (African) and Asian.
I keep getting these ethnicity v.s. race shit comments on this post as if people clarifying this will somehow destroy the validity of what I was trying to say (3 years ago) so I’m gonna clear this up rn (using google).
So let’s google together:
wow! Native Hawaiian is an ethnicity!! so what is an ethnicity?
a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition…that sounds right, so is Polynesian an ethnicity??
okay so it’s not an ethnicity…it’s a word to describe various ethnic groups within the Polynesian triangle!
maybe?? race is a social construct, ethnicity is not.
now on to the next problem of this response….Hawaiians are not indigenous…we’re aboriginal.
Most of us aren’t Black (I am tho), but the European and Asian part is caused by the plantation era that you can google!
TL;DR: Hawaiians are an ethnic group, Polynesians describe various ethnic groups, Hawaiians are aboriginal
