Pueto Rico- though it is just a territory

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

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.

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.

Providence, and like Colette said, Californians/Texans/Mainers I call myself a Georgian, for example. Agreed with everything else though

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).

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

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

and moose and parkas, so...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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

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

by Anonymous 13 years ago

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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

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