Almost every "Native Hawaiian" is of mixed race, and most of them have higher percentages of Chinese or Filipino or Caucasian than Hawaiian in their ancestry.  If someone who is homeless or incarcerated or has diabetes is 1/8 Hawaiian, 3/8 Chinese, and 1/2 Caucasian, activists will award a full tally mark to "Native Hawaiian" victimhood and will award zero victimhood tally marks to the other ethnic groups.  This is statistical malpractice -- actually lying.  It's a scam which has been going on for decades, and nobody seems willing to call out the scammers for fear of being politically incorrect.  But it's a great way to make it look like "Native Hawaiians" are the biggest victims of all bad things, and it enables tycoons of the Hawaiian grievance industry to keep getting government and philanthropic grants to perpetuate their "research" or "service" empires.
