New Life for the “One Drop” Rule
Interesting article on the hypocrisy of the use of racial classifications.
So apparently, if your daddy is the CEO of a major RIAA company, you don’t have to worry about getting sued to the gills for “stealing” music online.

Kamehameha Schools gathers at prayer service – The Honolulu Advertiser – Hawaii’s Newspaper
Great. So now every kid at Kamehameha knows that any dissent from the party line of necessary racism is a sign that you’re going against God. Argh.

Court rules 8-7 for Hawaiians-first admission policy – The Honolulu Advertiser – Hawaii’s Newspaper
Absolutely ridiculous, and one can only imagine it will be overturned by the Supreme Court. I love how they try to use the weasel word “Hawaiians-first” instead of “Hawaiians-only” – it is clear that there is a de facto absolute bar to non-Native Hawaiians admission, as evidenced by the reaction of KSBE to the last time a student not of the preferred race was able to get in.

A fairly decent article debunking some of the hype @ the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii.
