Eleven hours ago a story was published ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10667986" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10667986</a> ) about how native Hawaiians don&#x27;t want what is supposed to be their culturally protected landmark mountain, Mauna Kea, handed over to the local university via what a court ruled an illegitimate permit process.  So the expected response was that Hawaii&#x27;s sovereignty be restored to its natives after the 117 year old forced annexation, and their land be kept by them.  Of course, if you look in the thread, this didn&#x27;t happen.  The comments are about how they see &quot;the native Hawaiian culture inferior to my own&quot; and such.<p>It&#x27;s the typical western response, great pain at the Tibetan peasants overthrow of the Dalai Lama&#x27;s theocracy in concert with Chinese communists, yet nothing but scorn for the natives and traditions of their annexed territories like Hawaii.
