It's even weirder in Tonga. There are more Chinese there than native Tongans. Meanwhile the fastest internet is about 3 MB. The kingdom is about 20 years behind the modern world, and no one is preparing them for these changes.
There are three nesias: Micronesia, Polynesian and one other I forget. But yeah, they tend to be the lower workers. I think I know why too.
I worked at an arcade and I noticed this parallel a lot. The locals wanted things a little bit older and run down. The white kids and tourists wanted everything to be brand new, and cheaper. The cheaper part was always girls.
I had people come in who had never seen the latest equipment and games, and didn't even know how to use it. Then I had people demanding I get the even newer stuff and let them play for hours.
If it was a group, I would actually get yelled at for not using equipment I only knew about in theory that we had. I hadn't been trained, and I suspect no one knew, how to use that equipment. It didn't matter if it was local or tourist, they expected this to be done for free and without me even questioning it.
Anyway, there are two separate networks in Hawaii. The first is the local Ohana. You never rise out of poverty, but they will always take care of you. At the arcade, these families would give me food and demand I eat it if they had a party.
The other network was about business and moving up in place. I was expected to sit back and let them do their thing. They would bring only enough food for themselves.
When we had parties on the calendar, we would skip a meal in case it was local.
In the gaming world, I noticed that gamers liked the dark edgy feel to their place. They wanted well made graffiti and other designs. They also hyperfocused on the game being played and ignored everything else. This was especially the PC/XBox/Playstation Gamer. They felt like someone was judging them because the game was M and they were in 3rd grade. Most of the crew just let them at the game, but I wouldn't.
Bounce over to women, who tended to be more social gamers. They wanted to game together, have more light and color shown. It was especially important that they all play together, and I knew they were done when some of them started sitting down during a game or two.
These parallel groups often showed what I needed to prepare for and what to do. I have seen it a lot in the gamer conversations. I'll admit, the news tends to use them as a way to control the people a bit as well.

melanesia.
There we go. Thank you.
My sleep needing brain was able to tell me it wasn't peloponnesian, but that was it.
