Why Do Some Polynesians Sometimes Look Black?

[bogey_j]

like if you saw this dude on the street, wouldn't you think he's part black?

this breh's Samoan

same with Troy Palamalu types

brehs look mixed but still black to me. but apparently Polynesian/Pacific Islander have zero black ancestry so

 

[Sterling Archer]

Because black genes are dominant and we have ALL features. We can look like anything. The gene of the Black Woman possesses every possible trait known to man.

 

[jdubnyce]

Original man that's why

 

[BaileyPark31]

I always thought they looked black or Alaskan.

we're the original tho.

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

I've seen Indians, Mexicans, other Hispanics, Middle Eastern, and even Mediterraneans that also look like Polynesians.

There's a reason why Cliff Curtis and The Rock can play all sorts ethnicities in movies.

So saying they look black isn't really saying much.

Same reason native Australians do.

Watch :28s to :38s

That is why

 

[⠀X ⠀]

Because Africa

 

[YourMumsRoom]

Because the native people of those regions are Black breh.
From the negritos: (terrible title) the original Philippino's;

The decendants of East Timor:

Obvioulsy the native Australians:

Native Samoans.....

The Easter Islands etc.

The DNA trait is either malay or Black, or more frequently both.

You get the picture.

 

[OVER]

Samoan.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Of the Pacific Islanders Fijian ppl even more so

 

[PL368Z]

Their Climates are similar to those of Africa, they don't have any African ancestry by the way.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Because that's how they originally looked. They got lighter because Europeans.

 

[CinnaSlim]

Broader fuller features and more musculature.

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

Because their ancestry and lineage comes directly from Africa. Melanesians have stories about how they descend directly from Africa.
