I looked up the estimated Native Hawaiian population in Hawaii; 298,000 people.
28% of that is 83,440.
A minority of 83,440 native people with shared history and spiritual beliefs are asking to have what is held dear to them treated in a way that does not feel like a violation.
How small a group must they be to make ignoring their plea acceptable?
- PopePompus 7y agoWell, if the other 72% of Native Hawaiians want to see it built on Mauna Kea, why do you dismiss their preferences? If just one person claimed to be offended, does that mean the project has to be stopped? The line has to be drawn somewhere, and 50% seems like a good choice.
