At Zero Shibai, we didn't intend to provoke a discussion of race, in and of itself. We hope that people will think about whether dividing people by race and creating a new bloated, racially-exclusive government is the answer. In fact, Kau Inoa's website makes it clear that the goal is to create a new government with all the same departments that our state and county governments have. There's no other way to have this debate until the political correctness is stripped away and we can talk about the facts, without fear of being branded a "racist". Unsurprising, many of the folks who are pushing for Akaka's "Government Reorganization Act" are big fans of big government anyway. So you have to wonder if this sovereignty issue is being exploited by insiders to create cushy jobs for themselves and their buddies. Hopefully, now that the bubble has somewhat now been burst by this cartoon controversy, we can have the reasoned discussion that you wisely suggest. Mahalo, Thanks for your insights on the issue.
