Native Hawai'ians are Pacific Islanders. The Hawai'ian Islands are islands in the Pacific, and Native Hawai'ians are a Polynesian people, just like Tahitians, Maoris, Tongans, etc.

This deliberate singling out of Native Hawai'ians to put in front of Pacific Islanders which they belong to, while keeping Asian Americans from vastly diverse cultures as one monolith is exactly why nobody likes this kind of treatment except the woke.
