Are Polynesian people, like Samoans, allowed to date or marry white people? My history professor said that?

Question

Polynesians are very ethnocentric, and seemed like he was saying they only date their own people. Since I don't know any, is this even remotely true?

Answer 1

Most cultures have a hang-up at some level against people of 'their' group marrying people of the 'other' group - not all but some people will have a problem with a 'mixed' marriage.
