This has nothing to do with affirmative action, which is suppose to allow a minority which has been discriminated against a chance to have the same chance that has in the past been offered to the majority. The Native Hawaiians have had a hard struggle just trying to did their traditions out of it's early grave. When I lived there back in the late 70's they were just beginning to go back to their native tounge, they were digging up a few of the old "slack key" guitar players & taking their dancing to a more respectful place. They had just launched a traditional vessel & sailed it using the ancient navagional methods. The island (during the late 70's) of Ni'ihau (the Forbidden Island) was off limits to all who weren't at least 50% Hawaiian & they live their by the old ways & customs. The non Hawaiian Governor even needed permission they land their. So if the Kamehameha School wants to educate it's own native people so that they can keep their traditions, cutlure, history & customs alive so be it. God knows that those that weren't of Hawaiian ancestory & blood didn't do much to save it for them.
Hawaiians are quite a family oriented society & if those two non Hawaiian students are adopted or were raised (I don't know if this is the case) in a Hawaiian family they would be percieved by most as native Hawaiians.
I'm still 100% in favor of affirmative action. Racism & discrimination are still very much apart of our present day society.

Nobody raised an eyebrow as the Hawaiians were losing their identity,
no one should be raising an eyebrow now that they're trying to save it, after all the islands did belong to them & they're still not happy about it, any wonder why.
