Wild Samoan: Difference between revisions

* On ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', Jadzia's bachelorette party included one of these, a crewman named Manuele Atoa.

* Amazing (and appalling) that it isn't discredited yet, as it was subverted as far back as ''[[Moby- Dick]]''. Queequeg is an "islander" from somewhere in the Pacific, and Ishmael initially fears him as a dangerous savage, but he turns out to be a basically civilized and decent fellow with some peculiar cultural mannerisms.

* Doctor Gonzo from ''[[Fear and Loathing Inin Las Vegas]]'' is described as Samoan (though his real name was Oscar Zeta Acosta and he was Chicano). The charade carries over from the books, and was pretty much necessary to keep Acosta from being disbarred.
