By ensuring they have educational opportunities that were historically not given to them because the powers in charge thought they didn't warrant them. Why is that hard to understand?

Diversity in the DoD is not the same thing as a school that is privately funded that exists solely to help an underrepresented and oppressed group.
Why does excluding other races help? Shouldn’t diversity help if it’s our strength? Why are those poor kids being deprived of diversity?

Oh and the private thing has been addressed. Still not ok to discriminate based on race.

I dont think anyone could make that statement definitively.
Not sure why people say this.

All of the other countries Japan overthrew during the world wars reverted back to their own government. Hawaii's monarchy was completely overthrown and their queen imprisoned for monetary reasons. So I doubt they would be speaking Japanese.

Don’t let your passion for modern day social justice causes blind you to the geopolitical realities of the 1930s. Japan left unchecked by the allies would’ve dominated most of of the Pacific.

BUT that’s besides the point. Don’t let me get in the way of your social justice debates with TTF and HAL.

Pretty sure we brought democracy to Hawaii, shouldn’t they thank us for freeing us from the shackles of a monarchy?
Did they want us to free them?

look what happened when we tried that in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

A bunch of dead and wounded from both sides and we still lost.

Going around the world forcing democracy in small conflicts doesn’t exactly have a good track record.

No I’m not debating Japan had to be checked. And they likely had gotten taken over by the Japanese.

But following the war what would happen to them is the question. Japan was forced out and pushed back out of every other pacific island.

it’s an impossible thing to answer and who really knows what would happen.

Watch Man in the High Castle. It's probably pretty close to that. Spoiler alert: It's not pretty.

Don't worry. It's all going to be ok.

Make all the insults you feel like. Diversity initiatives will continue to march forward despite all the crying about the woke crowd. Tomorrow I'll wake up and all of the following will be true:

-The Navy and DoD will continue to focus on diversity
-Gays can serve openly
-Gays can get married
-Women can serve the same roles as men
-Colored people can serve in the Officer Corps
-Kamehameha schools can still gives preference to Native Hawaiians
-Etc...

That’s not an argument. Be smarter.

You’re arguing for racial discrimination. I’m against it.

Hawaii still remains the most racist state in America. I’ve been to every one of them (except Maine…sorry Maine) and they are worse than Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and California.

Not sure what it is about the Hawaiian “culture” but I’ve seen more incidents of outright harassment, assaults, and even open derision there than any other place I’ve been.

Don’t lecture us about diversity and inclusiveness if you can’t get your own state in check man, you have zero credibility and nobody is going to listen to what you say.
