Do u mean PURE Hawaiians? If u do then their ethnic group is Polynesian but their race is Mongoloid. Anthropological scientists categorize humans into 3 races (caucasoid, mongoloid, & *******).
Don't forget that Hawaii is a US state--many americans(non-polynesian) that moved there don't claim 2 be hawaiian.
Anyway, yes, Hawaiians are of the Mongoloid race. You can call them Asian bec Polynesia is in Asia (in the Pacific Ocean)--but when you use the word Asia (or Asian) you are talking about a LOCATION in general.
