Culture is NOT color, yet culture is colorful. The Village grows, and the culture thrives. Love y’all!!! Keep growing and pushing the culture forward.
Growing up in utah, a big Polynesian state, I can safely say, Polynesians, especially Tongans and Samoans are very biased towards full blooded Polynesians. Being half Mexican and half Tongan has taken a tremendous toll on how I grew up. But I’m fully grown into a man I can love and accept now and that’s all that matters. Ofas to all who struggle with the pain of being afakasi 🙏🏾💙
Yeah fasho it is
White British guy here and still felt like I learned so much from this. Super professional set up and great convo. Big things to come with you guys I'm sure
Hawaii and Samoan is just Polynesian lol
Exactly. Also, nothing wrong with being Filipino/a.... Not sure why everyone feels some type of way ...
I am mixed, but predominantly Samoan. From both of my parents. And let me tell you… Samoans were the most racist towards me. It was always assumed that I was a rich/spoiled brat because of my skin color. It was rough! But I am proud of everything I am. And I am so thankful God blessed me with parents who loved and nurtured me.
This conversation is imperative on so many levels. Powerful!
Great story, being a state side Puerto Rican it’s exactly the same. Being Puerto Rican and growing up in a black community i am never Puerto Rican enough and im not black enough. It was until the last several years where im like im me and im for both cultures. Peace and many blessings UCE 🤙🏾
as a afakasi, you will face this no matter where you are. ii grew up treated the same way here in pago. but that didnt hold me back from learning my culture and shutting the ignorant ones up. felt every word here!
I can relate to bro in the white tee. Being half Samoan half white me and my brother was always getting teased and made fun of being called palagi and it use to get to me. But as I got older I told myself I don't care I am who I am and I stay reppin the culture hard 🤙
Sole Uce this hits deep, I’d love to chat more with y’all on this topic. Thank y’all for having the courage to speak on it. Much love 💕 God Bless.
It’s sad the culture and languages aren’t being taught to this generation. I’m mixed too and always ask my grandma to speak to me in Samoan
We’re all mix with something
Afakasi Samoan writing from London. This is great stuff. I'm writing my dissertation right now on Mixed Samoans. Thanks for the great content.
Great topic and message!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This show got under my skin‼️Shout-out to #IslandMogul for this dope a** episode.. By the way I'm from Tonga, my great grandfather is pure Samoan Matai. Ioane Faaui, apparently from Vaisingano, Faleali'i or what not and no wonder why I grew up around my uso's Henry Uili, Ben Moe, & Tima Taulafoga in EPA, Cali ⚔️ #WeAllWin 💯
My kids are afatasi and they go hard!! I'm just thankful that my family has quite a few afatasi members
ALL of the native peoples of every Island are BLACK indigenous. Colonization taught racism. I'm Black American & Puerto Rican and A LOT of Samoan/ Tongans look more Black than me 🥴🥴🥴
Speak for yourself, we ain’t black were colored because we come in different shades. Black is the colonizer word, be proud of who you are just like we are. People of “Te Moana”
Sole Uce
Afakasi who’s cares u still Samoan my USO’s!! Alofa aku ❤
This is heartbreaking to hear...my daughter shares the same story (half Tongan half 'Uli'Uli)..thank you for sharing!!
Interesting convo
it’s because back in the day we all had plastic cousins 😂
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👍👍👍
I stopped caring tbh I’m samoan but also a quarter white and the most racism I’ve experienced has been my own people 😂. Told I’m whitewashed cuz I like rock music, told me I’m going to hell cuz I’m not Christian, getting called Oreo and shit or a plastic I genuinely don’t care anymore imma still rep my culture if my own people don’t like me idm
Tbh most polys just love to mock lol you just gotta mock them back 🤦🏾🤣
I’m Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan and Filipino. Quarter each…everybody always thinks I’m either 100% or one of um…but nobody ever believes I’m Filipino😂😂😂
So who in your family is samoan,Tongan,Hawaiian?
@@Federalbureauinvestigation_392 moms Samoan Tongan from vaimoso, dads Hawaiian, Filipino, from Moloka’i
@@awaroots thanks 🙏
Funny thing being mixed all my friends were mixed too growing up. One thing about California hella mixed children.
That's everywhere and east coat takes the place for tht
But California is very racist
Heads up to afa Samoa afa something: if u call urself a afakasi, it's the worst thing u do .. u either a hamo or u not..😅
I know how they feel because I’ve have been treated the say way mixed lol but the mixed white Polynesians get treated with respect because there’s no discrimination against whites
Its colonization. It taught us racism.
Chamorro here
She speaking that real. Afakasis always get looked at weird. Specially if they cant speak the language fluently. Its all good tho. Not gon lie tho. Being samoan n fijian it was samoan side that always judged me n my sisters. Not all of em but fasho the majority 😅
Even if u is 1% they still ain’t gon let u claim it trust 😔
💯🫡🫡
You are technically FULL POLYNESIAN 🤣🤣🤣 @ the Hawaiian / Samoan girl Halfkasi, Hapa popolo,haloe means HALF Polynesian descent, half non Polynesian if that makes sense because I know a lot of “ FULL “ Polys that thought they were Full Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan etc and 99% of them found that they have blood from all Poly blood not just just their main dominant race whatever they were if that makes sense
Real talk though, half white Polynesians get more love from their families than half black Poly’s.
Shiet, half whites get it better than full blooded Poly’s now that I think about it
Lol,what you talking about😅.. coming from a Samoan/White mix..I was always teased, being called Palagi,and never felt acknowledged as also Samoan enough 😅..
@@sillau9that’s good for you, but it doesn’t mean that I’m wrong. You ain’t the only white mix. I’m part black and my cousins are part white, and I’ve witnessed the favoritism from everyone in my family when I was young
@@sillau9being called palagi as a kid isn’t right, but have you ever been called a dog?
@@blessingalmighty6997 lol,how is that good for me😅..being teased and not feeling accepted as also Samoan by other Samoans,etc becuz I have Whiter skin & features & whatnot..basically I'm low-key contesting your claim that half White Samoans have it better,or more love as you said..but I get what your saying, I'm jus saying from my experience,not all of us got more loved or accepted..we both get teased and outcast,becuz we are different/Mixed..like you said your experience,compared to your half White relatives,but that don't speak for majority either..
I the kine stay away from those type of people THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT going happen if they continue acting that way DISLIKE BULLY MINDSET
Always 💯% Alofaz & Respects to all of you @Island Mogul🏝🫡🤟. God BleSS & thank you guys for all the awesome content you guys drop. #DISHERE💯%FACTSPODCAST#ONEWORLDONEPEOPLE#
