Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

[Jimbo]

Yeah, Paper Tigers sounds like a good one to see.

Nobody counts Dwayne Johnson as Asian, and I highly doubt that he himself does. Many Pacific Islanders I’ve seen addressing the issue seem militantly opposed to the idea of them having any Asian connection at all, even though it’s obvious that human life didn’t just sprout up on the Pacific islands. There is even recent DNA evidence that Pacific Islanders originated in East Asia (Taiwan and the Philippines), at least. So while Dwayne Johnson may technically have Asian blood, that is not how anyone perceives him.

I’m probably out of line posting this, but I may as well address the elephant in the room; that many Pacific Islanders hate being categorized together with Asian-Americans, considering themselves, their cultures, and their needs different. Guess what, folks? Asians are all different, too.
