[edit] The Official Demonym of Hawaii

I don't believe that Hawaiian is the official demonym for locals in Hawaii. I don't really know what it is, since Hawaiian refers to Native Hawaiians, and simply "Locals" refer to locals of Hawaii, regardless of blood. What do you think? I find it weird when I go to the mainlands and say, "Welcome, Hawaiians!" Because I'm not of Hawaiian ancestry. – Obento Musubi (C • G • S) 04:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

That's an interesting question. Everything2 lists it as "Hawaiian," but since it's listed alongside kama‘āina, that may refer to Native Hawaiians. (Malihini is listed, but it is definitely not widely used.) At best, I would say "people of Hawai‘i". However, discuss on; it's just a suggestion. Kal ^(talk) 04:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
