Hawaii is not a part of the mass of the USA. being 1,500 miles way

It is a state,

So they say. It is a colony.

It is a state. Colonies and other possessions do not have voting
representation in the US Congress, and do not send Electors to the
Electoral College for Presidential elections. Hawaii and Alaska
do.

They colonised it virtually displacing the
locals.

Unless you can tell me why this is different from any other state
in the US, it's not a way to distinguish a state from a colony.
