50% blood quantum created by Republican Congress
Here's some reaction in conservative blogs to the
suit filed
against OHA for "illegally spending dollars reserved for the benefit of those
with 50 percent Hawaiian blood or
more."National Review
Online compares
it to Reich's citizenship law for Jews in
Germany."Native

blog.I just want to remind folks that
the 50%
blood quantum definition was
created by
Congress when it passed the Hawaiian Homes
Commission Act in 1920. It wasn't created by Native Hawaiians, or Hawaiian
nationals, or the government of the Hawaiian kingdom. It was created by the
United States Congress. And BTW,
Congress was controlled by
Republicans at the time! (House:
240 Republicans, 192 Democrats; Senate
49 Republicans, 47 Democrats)
