In ancient history, the races of the world could be split into four groups: the Caucasoid, the Negroid, the Mongoloid, and the Australoid. Where do the South Pacific people fit in?

I used to constantly call former adult model Jasmine Aloha (of Polynesian descent) Asian. But is that incorrect?

But yes I'd consider her Asian.

These guys don't really look asian to me, for example:

Well, the people of India are classified as being some form of Asian, but they don't look typically Asian either.

^ Exactly.


Also, Jasmine Aloha is hot.

Then again, the most swarthy Latin looking male from the south of Italy is considered Caucasian, by definition. As much as the pale blond haired man from Norway. So...
