I was going thru YouTube when I found this:

It turns out these are Tongan teenagers! There song 'Crush on You' made it to number 3 in the billboard charts(maybe 1986)

I guess Americans will listen to an Asian group after all.
So if a handful of Pacific Islander teens can make it the U.S. charts.......

Call a Tongan an Asian to their face, and see what they do to you.

Yeah I'd be curious.

I doubt Tongans think they are white, and I doubt any Tongan to start a fight with me over my asking such a question.
In any event, I'd bang with anyone who'd dare mess with me. icon_wink.gif

Don't worry so much about size.

A guy could be 5'5", 5'8" or 6' - 120LB, 180LB or 220LB

You crack him in the jaw real hard, he is going down.
slip a choke on him, he is going to sleep.
