[@chocolateangel8743]

@Sia F Hi. Being that you're Samoan, I have a couple questions, if you don't mind. What race are Samoans considered to be? Are you like Indigenous Asians? Are you mixed with black or what? I'm only curious because we all know The Rock is mixed, and they are the same skin tone and what not. Thanks for your time/insight.

[@dwaynejohnson2780]

[@JNMKlover]

Since the planet is just billions of humans with all the same insides, I for one was so happy Pacific Islanders r getting ur own box to check on documents. I felt unrepresented for most of my life, I am blended. My only option was white. But I'm not just 'white'. Who is mostly one race? Those folks r now in the minority. Some things have gotten better.

Dwayne really won the genetic lottery man. Got nice and tall from his african side, and built like a tank from his Samoan side. Dude is one hell of a specimen of a human being.

[@menotme5560]

[@patriciaford1213]

The cultures of Africa and Polynesia/ Samoa are both blessed with people who are 6 feet tall, in case you didn't know. Genetically, Polynesians and Africans have a lot in common. The presence of Lapita pottery in both regions strongly indicates that we all derived from a similar place. Therefore, your comment about Dwayne is irrelevant. Consider history and humanity, and you will be fine for the rest of this era.
