Are the non-Polynesians still killing Hawaiians to this day? Well, the ChiComs are killing Tibetians, Uighirs, and Mongolians.
Following your logic, the moment the commies stop killing these people then there is no question on the legitmacy of the territory claim? I mean, we have Haiwaii and North Dakota right and square based on the fact we are no longer killing native Hawaiians and Sioux tribes today, right?
