The voters have decided that Blucatt is right! Vote on the post to say if you agree or disagree.

I call myself a Texan.
And Hawaii has their own language because they are in fact Hawaiian, and they had their own language before they got so rudely tricked/forced them into becoming part of the US.

On the issue of "Delewarians"... Most states give their citizens titles like "Hawaiians", but only a couple are obvious. Like Californians, or Texans, or Mainer. The rest of the states have these too, but no one knows what the hell they are.

It's not like they take offense to it. A lot of Hawaiians don't like to think of themselves as Americans.

Pueto Rico- though it is just a territory

Yeah, other states call their citizens names, but some of them sound really awkward. One that wasn't mentioned was New Yorker (though it applies to the city more often).

We should get rid of Hawaii and take control of Canada. wary smilie

@Serg We should get rid of Hawaii and take control of Canada.

good luck with that... we have hockey sticks and maple syrup

@and moose and parkas, so...

yeah bro, i see it now. we lure them in with suductive women dressed in scantily clad santa outfit, where they will walk into our maple syrup floor and will be stuck there, their screams for help will be our cue to ride in on our moose's and polar bear's (our parkas acting as bulletproof vests) and we beat them to death with our hockey sticks..... its fool proof

Alaska has it's own language, too. (Inuit, I think?) Just sayin'.

Providence, and like Colette said, Californians/Texans/Mainers
I call myself a Georgian, for example.

Agreed with everything else though

What's your point? Neither is California, Texas, Maine or Georgia. They're states. As is Hawaii

There were indigenous languages in all the other states too but we exterminated them all...

There are some advantages of this concept, though. No passport and you feel like you're going to a foreign country.

Alabamian/Alabaman, Alaskan, Arizonian/Arizonan, Arkansan, Californian, Colorodoan/Colorodan, Connecticut is Nutmegger, Delawarean, DC has no name, Floridian/Floridan also sometimes referred to as a Gator or Cracker, Georgian, Hawaiian, Idahoan, Illinoisan, Indianian/Indianan, Iowan, Kansan, Kentuckian, Louisianan/Louisianian, Mainer, Marylander, Massachusetts is Bay Stater, Michigander/Michiganite, Minnesotan, Mississippian, Montanan, Nebraskan, Nevadan/Nevadian, New Hampshireman/New Hampshirite, New Jerseyite/New Jerseyan, New Mexican, New Yorker, North Carolinian, North Dakotan, Ohioan, Oklahoman, Oregonian, Pennsylvanian, Rhode Islander, South Carolinian, South Dakotan, Tennesseean/Tennessean, Texan, Utahan/Utahn, Vermonter, Virginian, Washingtonian, West Virginian, Wisconsinite[Cheeseheads apparently are not the official name], Wyomingite. DC is the only one without a name but it might be the whole if they got a name it would show favortism or something.

@stepdom Alabamian/Alabaman, Alaskan, Arizonian/Arizonan, Arkansan, Californian, Colorodoan/Colorodan, Connecticut is...

Technically neither of those two for Michigan are right (Michiganian) but everyone says "Michigander."

Alaska is kind of the same way, though i don't think they speak a different language

It's because the natives of Hawaii are from a different place then other native Americans. Native Hawaiians come mainly from Polynesia, whereas mainland native Ameicans are just kind of from the mainland. And then there's the whole different language thing.

Canada may have hockey sticks and syrup, but we have a real army. We should take them over!! Haha

Hawaiian people call u dumb haole's because they want too n because ur not from that island
