Whenever the subject of Tibetan independence from China comes up, my father almost invariably says that if Americans think that China should free Tibet, then the U.S. should free Hawaii. The first time I ever heard him say it, I laughed. "But Dad," I said, "Hawaiians don't want to be independent from the U.S." I very soon found out that statement was not necessarily true.
She includes this background.
