A very interesting article, clearly laying out the views of some of the folks who oppose the TMT. But I find the term "Haole science" rather odd. Does this mean that science as practiced by, say, Japanese or Pakistanis or Egyptians or South Africans is somehow an ethnic enterprise? Does it mean that an Englishman's discovery of penicillin or the discovery of the cause and modern treatment of the Black Plague by a scientist in Viet Nam should not be applied to Native Hawaiians who are suffering from terrible diseases? Or is this an essentialized view of life in which there is no common humanity? Is this any different than some true believers in faiths such as Christian Science who allow their sick children to suffer without "Haole science" medical attention? One can respect the views presented by people who oppose TMT, but not the racialization of such important issues. Let us discuss these matters with civility in Civil Beat.
