I'm Polynesian, and didn't know till today that all ITaukei have the same admixture as Polynesians (Papuan/Austronesian). The only difference is the amount of Papuan or Austronesian admixture amongst us, with Polynesians having more Austronesian Dna and iTaukei having more Papuan Dna, But the SAME admixture and Genetic Make up. This dosen't have anything to do with Lau or the Tongans Invading Lau. This was news to me, and only adds to me loving my Fijian brothers and sisters more. Was anyone from Fiji aware of this? It also explains why we also have such similar languages as well.

I'm polynesian and from Australia, My whole life I've always thought of myself as a pacific Islander and still do, But, Genetic DNA can't be denied. We've built our own culture over thousands of years, but I keep coming back to the fact that we are just Taiwanese Asians (approx 80%) who mixed with Melanesian Papuans, which therefore created modern day Polynesians. What are your thoughts on Asians who are mixed? Do you, as an Asian, Consider someone who is predominantly Asian genetically, but is Mixed with another race, an Asian?

Hello Everyone, I'm Samoan and partially Norwegian, I was just wondering what Nils means in Norwegian? For context I'm referring to the last name Nilsen, I know that Nilsen means son of Nils, does that translate to Nicholas in Norwegian? Thank you in advance, Cheers.

Hello Everyone,

I'm from Overseas and will be visiting Melbourne soon, I have a few face tattoos and was just wondering if local bars and pubs in Melbourne are relaxed with Face tattoos? I know big casinos like Crown Casino would most likely not be ok with them, just wondering what it's like in Melbourne? Thanks in Advance, Cheers.
