A Proclamation on Asian American and Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander Heritage Month, 2021
APRIL 30, 2021 €¢ PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS
This May, during Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we recognize the history and achievements of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) across our Nation. In the midst of a difficult year of pain and fear, we reflect on the tradition of leadership, resilience, and courage shown by AANHPI communities, and recommit to the struggle for AANHPI equity.

Asian Americans, and Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders make our Nation more vibrant through diversity of cultures, languages, and religions. There is no single story of the AANHPI experience, but rather a diversity of contributions that enrich Americas culture and society and strengthen the United States role as a global leader. The American story as we know it would be impossible without the strength, contributions, and legacies of AANHPIs who have helped build and unite this country in each successive generation. From laying railroad tracks, tilling fields, and starting businesses, to caring for our loved ones and honorably serving our Nation in uniform, AANHPI communities are deeply rooted in the history of the United States.

We also celebrate and honor the invaluable contributions the AANHPI communities have made to our Nations culture and the arts, law, science and technology, sports and public service €” including the courageous AANHPIs who have served on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic as health care providers, first responders, teachers, and other essential workers..

During this years Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, our Nation celebrates the achievements of Vice President Harris, the first person of South Asian descent to hold the Office of the Vice President. Vice President Harris has blazed a trail and set an example for young people across the country to aspire to follow, including members of AANHPI communities and AANHPI women in particular.

In spite of the strength shown and successes achieved, the American dream remains out of reach for far too many AANHPI families. AANHPI communities face systemic barriers to economic justice, health equity, educational attainment, and personal safety. These challenges are compounded by stark gaps in Federal data, which too often fails to reflect the diversity of AANHPI communities and the particular barriers that Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Southeast Asian, and South Asian communities in the United States continue to face.

My Administration also recognizes the heightened fear felt by many Asian American communities in the wake of increasing rates of anti-Asian harassment and violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increasingly observable layers of hate now directed toward women and elders of Asian descent in particular. Our Nation continues to grieve the senseless killings of six women of Asian descent in Atlanta, and the unconscionable acts of violence victimizing our beloved Asian American seniors in cities across the country.

Acts of anti-Asian bias are wrong, they are un-American, and they must stop.. My Administration will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with AANHPI communities in condemning, denouncing, and preventing these acts of violence. We will continue to look for opportunities to heal together and fight against the racism and xenophobia that still exists in this country.

Present-day inequities faced by AANHPI communities are rooted in our Nations history of exclusion, discrimination, racism, and xenophobia against Asian Americans. Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have endured a long history of injustice €” including the Page Act of 1875, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the incarceration of Japanese American citizens during World War II, the murder of Vincent Chin, the mass shooting of Southeast Asian refugee children in 1989, and the targeting of South Asian Americans, especially those who are Muslim, Hindu, or Sikh, after the national tragedy of 9/11. It is long past time for Federal leadership to advance inclusion, belonging, and acceptance for all AANHPI communities. My Administration is committed to a whole-of-government effort to advance equity, root out racial injustices in our Federal institutions, and finally deliver the promise of America for all Americans.

Vice President Harris and I affirm that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders make our Nation stronger. I urge my fellow Americans to join us this month in celebrating AANHPI history, people, and cultures.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2021 as Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I call upon the people of the United States to learn more about the history of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, and to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Everybody *also* knows:

Hawaiian "contributions" (snicker) to the world:

- pu pu platters
- grass hula skirts
- natives too lazy to work, thus a 15%+ poverty rate and dependent on gum'bint welfare handouts

"That's IT, folks...!!!"

The Hawaiians, being ignorant and primitive aborigines, were FAR too DUMB to invent lingonberry wine...or any other sorts of alcoholic beverages in fact...

I might be stoopid but I don't have to rely on cutting and pasting the words of others to express myself. I don't have to hide behind a shit-load fake IDs because I'm ashamed and afraid of what people think of me. I don't have to use Jesus to con kids and simple-minded people. That's all your chicken-shit schtick. I hope you're proud of yourself!

The Hawaiians didn't have any other native foods to travel *with*. And
the travel by boat across the Pacific was done by Polynesians rowing
double hulled wooden canoes thousands of years ago. They weren't
spreading native foodstuffs around. They were fishing and *looking* for
more sources of food.

Other cultures came to Hawaii (including his beloved Japan) and brought
different types of food and fruit and vegetables with them. They don't
even grow rice anywhere on the islands anymore, yet it's a staple in the
food he mentions buying at restaurants. They import rice from the
mainland these days.

Super poi! LOL dsi1's doing his usual two-step skirt around the
subject. What's super-foodish about poi?

Per Wikipedia, yes: Poi or Popoi is a traditional staple food in the
Polynesian diet, made from starchy vegetables, usually breadfruit, taro
or plantain. Traditional poi is produced by mashing cooked starch on a
wooden pounding board, with a carved pestle made from basalt, calcite,
coral or wood.

It goes on to list the nutrition in poi:

Grin, that too. Nothing wrong with it BTW, but recognize what it is.

BTW, the majority of Japanese who moved to Hawaii were in the middle to
late 1800's. They immediately became a 'melting pot' as it was mostly
men who arrived and they took Hawaiian wives. I'm sure more women
arrived later but it was probably always less. Like many cultures,
women do the majority of cooking in Japan.

North Carolina infant dies after being attacked by family's 2 dogs

Johnston County Sheriffs Office identified the baby as Malia Scott Winberry

"A 10-month-old girl in North Carolina died after the familys dogs attacked her while her father briefly stepped away, according to reports.

The Johnston County Sheriffs Office identified the baby as Malia Scott Winberry.

Deputies responded to a call Tuesday at 8 p.m. after the infants father, Scott Winberry, stepped away for a couple of minutes and reportedly returned to find the familys two dogs attacking his daughter.

Scott, himself a law enforcement officer, was attempting to revive his daughter when deputies arrived, The News & Observer reported.

"The father had left the small child inside the residence unattended for only a couple of minutes," Johnston County Sheriffs Patrol Capt. Danny Johnson told reporters. "He heard a lot of commotion in the house, went back inside and found the baby unresponsive."

Deputies tried to revive the girl, then EMS workers tried, but no effort was able to revive the girl.

She was pronounced dead at the scene, WTVD reported.

The dogs were identified as Rottweilers, both a male and a female. A neighbor told reporters that the dogs were usually protective of the child.

Animal control took possession of the animals. The family will need to decide whether to bring the dogs back or have them euthanized.

Authorities say that they were not aware of any prior issues with the dogs, but Director Chad Massengill confirmed that the dogs have been deemed dangerous by the county.

"It's very solemn around here this morning," Massengill told WRAL. "It's very difficult to deal with..."

So inventing alcohol (a known toxin) is "smart"?

You see only what you filter yourself to see.

The use of Poi is said to have led Captain James Cook and other early
western visitors to Hawaii to describe native Hawaiians as being an
exceptionally healthy people. More recent scientific studies have
substantiated the observation that pre-western contact Hawaiians were
among the healthiest races on earth.
Very few food staples exist anywhere in the world that can be considered
hypoallergenic, rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, a
good source of B vitamins, contain vitamins A and C, minerals, and a
small measure of high quality, easily digestible protein. Kalo, or Taro,
as it is more commonly known, is not only nutritious but is considered
to be a beneficial carbohydrate food that provides a high fiber,
slow-release energy food source that may be beneficial for the more than
100 million people worldwide that suffer from diabetes.
The following are just a few of the exceptional merits of Poi:

High in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The nutrition in Poi is better
utilized than other foods due to fermentation (similar to yogurt) and
small starch granules
High amounts of alkaline-forming elements in Poi reduce gastrointestinal
disturbances and are better tolerated than other foods and reduce
acidity in diseases such as cancer
Helps prevent cavities and creates strong bones
Provides valuable, easily digestible nutritional support for individuals
who suffer from indigestion, malnourishment, special health challenges
and those recovering from illness
Poi, if contaminated by pathogenic organisms may purify itself with
naturally occurring lactic acid producing bacteria
Contains numerous and powerful health supporting fermentation compounds
Easily digestible, gluten free and hypoallergenic
The taro used by Taro Dream, Inc. is grown using Safe Food Farming„¢*
methods and then after it is ground and then naturally fermented until
it is just the perfect pH. Heres why €“


As taro ferments it produces precious and varied beneficial metabolites.
Bacteriocins are one of these that exhibits powerful antibacterial
properties. Some of the natural benefits of bacteriocins a improved
nutritional value of food, control of intestinal infections, improved
digestion of lactose, control of some types of cancer and control of
serum cholesterol levels.

The old Hawaiians love to ferment their poi till it's really sour. When you buy poi, it's sold by when it was delivered to that store. Then you can figure out if you want fresh poi, 1 day old poi, or 2 days old poi. It's one of the few foods that starts spoiling when it gets delivered to the store.

The Canadians have bought a lot of properties on this rock. I can't say why.. The insidious part is that they look like you or I - just plain old regular folks. Every once in a while, one of them will pronounce a word a little funny - and then you know you got them!!!
