This topic is one that I have been gaslit about, seen (black) people pull the "well my Polynesian friend doesn't think it's a problem", seen (white) leaders in the #polyamory community call Polynesians speaking out about this trolls.

The lengths I have heard polyam people go to invalidate Polynesians on this is disgusting.

I am DONE with this fucking debate.

It takes 5 minutes on Google to show that

1) "Polynesian" searchers are dominated by corporate marketing BS for Disney, restaurants, and travel agents.

2) Polynesian/Pacific Islanders DO use "poly" to refer to themselves.

It takes 5 minutes on a Twitter search to show

1) No one is going to confuse a tweet about poly- chemistry stuff with a tweet about poly- Polynesian stuff

2) It is often very hard to tell poly- Polynesian tweets from poly- polyamory tweets
