Diverdave, you probably got it mixed up with the black/white controversy in America...black cannot marry white?  Seemed to have been okay for browns to marry white.  Sounds nasty, doesn't it?  You don't seem to approve of the special treatment natives of Hawaii are getting from your congress.  I am hapa myself and my haole ancestor of Norway was granted citizenship in the Hawaii Kingdom.  But, of course he would not have qualified for HHL either.
