[Mr.Lum]

Fiji is mostly mixed racialy. the natives espepecialy. in the West islands (Viti Levu and suroundin smaller ones and parts of Vaua Levu) people are mostly Melanesian. the eastern islands like most of Vanua Levu and the smaller outer islands especailly the Lau, people are Polynesian and Polynesian-Melanesian mixed, but all Fijians. there are also TOngans, Rotumans, and Banabuans (from banaba in Kirbitai which is no longer livable due to mining by thr British) who live in Rabi island who are Polynesian. there are also part CHinese, Chinese, Indians and white people as well.

hmm. never heard of im. prolly does.

There are 4500 so-called 'Europeans' who were born in Fiji, and over 10,000 'part Europeans' living in Fiji. Some of these families established themselves in Levuka during the 19th century as traders and shipbuilders or on the copra plantations of Vanua Levu, Lomaiviti and Lau. Europeans tend to work in agriculture, business, tourism and in the public sector.The 8600 Fijians from Rotuma are Polynesian origin. Most of them live and work in Suva, far away from their remote island. Among the other 9000 Pacific Islanders in Fiji are Tongans and Samoans and 3000 Banabas-Micronesians whose own island did phosphate mining strip, and who were resettled on Rabi after WWII. There are also descendants of blackbirder labourers from the Solomon Islands, most living in communities near Suva and on Ovalau.
About 0.7% of the population (5000 people) is of Chinese origin. The majority of their ancestors arrived early in the 20th century to open general stores and other small businesses. More Chinese have migrated to Fiji in the past decade. Most are living in urban centres and work in restaurants and commerce. The first Chinese settlers married Fijian women, but today the Chinese tend to form their own groups within the community

It takes a real man to wear a flower on his ear ;) And I mean that seriously. I miss seeing that nowadays.

Fijians seem to bear a resemblance to Micronesians. At least the ones I met when I was in school.
