@@thegadflygang5381 who said anything about Tahiti? This is clearly set in American Samoa 🇦🇸. And as far as I know TW is a kiwi with Maori and Jewish ancestry. The only connection to Tahiti i can see is the fact that American Samoa is an ethnically polynesian pacific island nation. Like Aotearoa (NZ). So if your Italian teacher was Polynesian of some description then I guess tour statement stands. Still confused as to where you got Tahiti from tho?
