WHICH IS IT ?

Justice eludes Hawaiians, OHA study says

Not to detract from any of the statistics that clearly show disparity for Native Hawaiians, the story leaves me wondering about the statistics for the other ethnic and racial groups mentioned in the second paragraph.

 

I also wonder if Blacks were left out of the count again, being 1% of the population.

 

"The study featured statistics showing that the percentage of native Hawaiians incarcerated is significantly higher than the percentage of Hawaiians in the general population and that native Hawaiians are more likely to get prison sentences, and longer prison sentences, than other ethnic groups."

 

"Native Hawaiians receive longer prison sentences than most other racial or ethnic groups."
