They already receive way more "preferential treatment" than any other ethnicity in Hawaii, Ricky.  As the article points out "Nearly 300,000 of them live in Hawaii — about 21 percent of the state’s population of about 1.4 million."  They currently have over 850 race based for Polynesian only programs.  They have their own schools.( Illegally according to Supreme Court rulings).  They have the race based homesteading  program.  OHA. and of course also participate in the foodstamp program, section 8 housing, free medical, etc, etc.
That's the problem, the pandering politicians just give them more and more preferential treatment to the point where they always expect it.
Apparently, you have bought into their little downtrodden narrative.
