The court's ruling shouldn't come to a surprise to many.

I just read the title and was like yep, that's right, even though I didn't know anything about the situation. Frankly, it's quite a surprise that it survived this long, I guess no one had the balls or (time/money) to challenge it. It's pretty cut and dry racial discrimination. Not even discrimination "in a sense". When the past harms have been long since remedies, there's really no excuse for it.

Is there even any current discrimination against Hawaiians?

I'm sure it's sad for some, but like you said, the original purpose has been carried out. That happens all the time with charitable trusts that have been in existence for awhile. Either the trust will be dissolved or what the money goes to will be changed a little so that it's still keeping in the spirit of the original purpose but legal.
