I agree with you.
But if the State of Hawaii did not ask for the race of the baby or parents in the 60’s, why would it be on the newly issued document?
My son has a Hawaii birth certificate from 1988, and his does not ask for the baby’s nor the parents race.
Seems to me, the state of Hawaii is not in the habit of asking the race for important documents.
Yeah, I don’t know about the race part. I’m from California and I’ve never even paid attention to see if race was on it. My son was born in 1988 too, so if I remember tonight I’ll find his birth certificate and see if it asks for race.

I’m sure they did (ask for race in the early 1960s), all states did. Asking about race became very un-political correct in the ‘70s. Same with me, my BC has race, my children (born in 1980s) don’t .
Since the requirements changed that’s probably why it was deleted from the BC issued last year. I’d bet a years salary his original shows it –and that is why they won’t release it.
