Are Polynesian people considered Asian?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesians

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?

I don't know, but those are some nice pictures of hookers I guess.

Okay that is kind of a lie. Only the picture on the far left is even somewhat attractive to me.

They are all Jasmine Aloha.

Well damn that is like just a "from bad to worse" visual. Looks decent on the left, then in the middle it's...eh..and the final photo is just god awful, it's like she went back in time to the late 1980's.

Hey, it's the few I could find that don't have nudity. Not allowed here, even for an academic discussion. 😄

She was a ripped hardbody bodybuilder; maybe that's not your cup of tea.

But yes I'd consider her Asian.

Polynesians are, well, Polynesians.

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

The question is, do they considers themselves Asians, or Polynesian.

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...
