Native Hawaiians that advocates sovereignty locked the gates of a historic palace Wednesday in downtown Honolulu.

Protest leader Mahealani Kahau said the group doesn't recognize Hawaii as a U.S. state. Supporters planned to keep the protest peaceful and if evicted would return later, she said.

The group is one of several Hawaiian sovereignty organizations in the islands seeking to regain independence, which was formally annexed as the 50th U.S. state in 1959.

Here are some interesting quotes by the pro-Tibet side (Promisous, Codrojac):

"And you Chinese kinda look slightly yellow.....skin colour that is."

"Like the yellow rats that they are...."

"Chinese are worse than dog. BURN ALL CHINESE!!!"

"The Chinese are a very dangerous set of people"

"Mr Chinaman, What are your real intentions Mr Chinaman."

"Chinese Out. Expel all Chinese spies from our schools."

Resorting to racist hate speech against Chinese people makes the pro-Tibet side look questionable at best and downright racist and nutty at worst.
