Those friends of yours would be indo-fijians. Indian laborers were bought in by the British in the 1800's to cut the sugar cane because native Fijians had no intention of cutting it for them.How are u gonna tell me when I got Fijian friends?
Just because they're dark ? They got super straight hair, Indian/non-black features and speak Hindi
Even their skin is a different type of dark with a strong reddish orange undertone
