Without going into too much detail about thotsins & his reasons for creating a lot of videos about Oceanic people in general, talks of "Cushitic" people & co-opting of African cultures, I'd like to focus on what he says in his comments, after I had a number of discussions with him in the past, he decided to re-post them under his comments and answer it for the public to see, taking my genealogy from whatever info. he could muster up on the web in an attempt to paint a particular picture of me.

But he writes about my ancestress named Kaauamo and decides to do something that may be familiar to others here on MW when people try to deface kupuna, and he says that Kaauamo was mixed herself. He says further that this process is assimilation when foreigners absorb the culture (referring to Kaauamo's Pake husband), which he claims wipes out the culture slowly by passing it on to foreigners. In other words, he's saying that, in his eyes, we aren't "pure", which is a Haole concept which I've mentioned too many times, and because of that, we are a product of foreigner and we (not the pure ones) are the ones who keep the culture.

So this is his video of HIS "American" or "Haole" concept of educating people as to what our people should look like.

Just two weeks ago I had an ignorant Filipina quantify my Filipinoness, diminishing it in order to make herself look good. Odd that should happen to me because most people try to minimize my Hawaiianness or at the same time maximize my Filipinoness. But the reasoning for that is always, and I mean ALWAYS the same. And that is to prove to others how little or how much a person is of their mixed or "other" heritage. Basically they're quantifying according to their own needs.

Forget about how much Hawaiians are constantly quantified, if not by these idiots like thotsins, or by each other (other Hawaiians) and the same applies to other indigenous people. But rather, why aren't HAOLES quantified? Why aren't people saying how little or how much Haole one has? Is everyone else's perception that the world would turn out all Haole? People seem to minimize in quantity our 'Oiwi ancestry, never how much Haole we are becoming or how much Asian we are becoming. WHY?

Why can't anyone talk about how Haoles are becoming more Haole or non-Haoles are becoming more Haole and how little Haole one may have or what privileges Haoles have and becoming more Haole may or may not change that status?

People like thotsins will always feel that they know exactly what is a _______ (insert appropriate ethnicity) based on their own fucked up logic, whether it was induced by a Haole or American system or not. But their purpose for doing that is to justify in their own mind, that they are the benefactors of either some type of compensation (if not trying to remove such a thing from us) or some type of credibility when it comes to facts & education and that only they, those that are more Haolefied understand facts & evidence and that we're too uneducated to know these things.
