      @Sia F Hi. Being that you're Samoan, I have a couple questions, if you don't mind. What race are Samoans considered to be? Are you like Indigenous Asians? Are you mixed with black or what? I'm only curious because we all know The Rock is mixed, and they are the same skin tone and what not. Thanks for your time/insight.

I felt unrepresented for most of my life, I am blended. My only option was white. But I'm not just 'white'. Who is mostly one race? Those folks r now in the minority. Some things have gotten better.
