Two Native Hawaiian men are scheduled to be sentenced for federal hate crime convictions in the brutal beating of a white man who tried to move into their remote, traditional fishing village

Two Native Hawaiian men are scheduled to be sentenced Thursday, March 2, 2023, for a federal hate crime in the 2014 brutal beating of a white man who tried to move into their remote, traditional fishing village.
Kunzelman and his wife purchased the house sight-unseen for $175,000 because she wanted to leave Scottsdale, Arizona, to live near the ocean after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Of Hawaii’s 1.5 million residents, about 38% are Asian, 26% are white, 2% are Black, and many people are multiple ethnicities, according to U.S. census figures. Native Hawaiians account for about 20% of the population.
“The threat of outsiders coming in ... brings a lot of sadness for Hawaiians who are trying so hard to hold on to what little piece of paradise we have left,” she said. As an example, she cited efforts to revitalize the Hawaiian language after it was banned in schools in the wake of the overthrow. In a letter to the judge, Aki said he doesn't see himself as racist: “Not only because I am almost half-Caucasian but also because I have people who I love and care about who are white.”
