[edit] Hawaiian origin

I removed Hawaiian since it is misleading, making people believe that Lou Diamond Phillips is of 'Oiwi ancestry.

In the past, someone mistook his ties to the Hawaiian islands as being of Hawaiian ancestry. Since most people do not recognize our nationality, we'll keep it simple and just omit "Hawaiian".

Seems that an anonymous user 24.130.117.205 added in "Hawaiian" again. Unless you can prove by stating how he get his Hawaiian ancestry of which we know he has no Hawaiian ancestor, I'd stop adding it in. Keep in mind that unless we're talking about Hawaiian Nationality, then I'd understand but Lou Diamond was not born in Hawaii. Many people today use "Hawaiian" as an ethnicity which was imposed by the U.S. That means any descendant of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778. We refer to that as 'Oiwi.

He is currently doing a (U.S.) National tour of Camelot (the musical)

[edit] Limerence Crossreference

Why is friendship with teacher crossreferenced to Limerence? Even in the context of Stand And Deliver that is not what occurs between the characters. I'm going to remove this crossreference unless anyone can give me a good reason for it. Gilgamesh Rex 23:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
