Those Hawaiians who complain about cultural appropriation are outrageously hypocritical.  The Hawaiian culture is the one that has profited most greatly by engaging in cultural appropriation.  Before Europeans and Americans came to Hawaii, the Hawaiians totally lacked the following things, which they eagerly embraced and APPROPRIATED into their culture:  The wheel, pottery, written language, Christianity, constitutional law, representative democracy, horses, refrigeration, indoor plumbing, cars, radio, TV, guitars ... Hawaiians are the biggest, most fast and aggressive cultural appropriators I know of.
