After watching this video, I have a question.
If you were born in Oregon, you are an Oregonian.
If you were born in California, you are Californian.
However, if you were born in Hawaii, with no Polynesian blood, what are you considered?

You can also be considered a Hawaiian. However it seems locals from Hawaii who aren't ethnically Hawaiian like myself, don't refer to themselves as Hawaiian. Hawaii is different from any other state in that Hawaiian is considered an ethnic group.

Thanks for your replies!
I have a friend who was born and raised on the Big Island who just answered my text. She said that instead of saying she is Hawaiian, she says that she is from Hawaii.

That's exactly what I do. Also, I've never heard someone refer to themselves as a Californian, Oregonian, etc. They usually just tell me what state they're from.
Aloha i found this website that may help those moving from Hawai'i because we all know that being born and raised in Hawai'i then moving to the mainland can be tough. Aloha
You know ur from Hawaii'i living in the mainland when you walk up to a stranger to get to know someone new and say "Hey Aloha brah where u from and who u know?" And they look at you like your going to mug them or you want to beef! lol
Yes, speaking in gibbersish tends to get that result.
You know your from Hawai'i living on the mainland when you go to the market and ask if they have any crackseed products and ppl give you a wierd look(you have to be from Hawai'i to know what crackseed is)
