SF Gate really needs to do better than this. Whatever Toner is going to be called, Hawaiian really isn't correct (afik). Local boy from Hawaii is accurate.

I think I understand your point, but the man was born in Honolulu and lived his entire life in Hawaii. We refer to Walker Little as a Texan, Trenton Irwin as a Californian, Ben Edwards as a Floridian ... Indeed Hawaiian also has an ethnic definition but referring to someone from the state as Hawaiian isn't incorrect.
