In case you’ve by no means heard of Drew Afualo, you are lacking out. With 7.9 million followers on TikTok, she grew to become well-known for calling out misogynists in essentially the most hilarious methods you possibly can think about, with fun that by no means fails to make me smile. She’s additionally the host of The Remark Part with Drew Afualo and the Two Fool Women podcast.
Since Drew and I are each Samoan, I am particularly happy with her success. It is fairly uncommon to see Polynesian ladies make it large within the US, and I really like that she reps the tradition wherever she goes. Bear in mind what she and her boyfriend, Pili, wore to the Black Adam premiere? Iconic!
The 26-year-old talks about her heritage on a regular basis. She’s credited her cultural humor as the rationale why she’s so fast together with her jokes. And he or she even has a Samoan tattoo on her hand! So, I used to be appalled when somebody not too long ago referred to as her “basically white” as an insult.
Placing apart the troll’s nonsensical comparability of a feminist TikToker to the police, it is wild that they might ignore Drew’s identification for the sake of a silly remark. Pacific Islanders already face little or no illustration with out the willful erasure of our identities. Many individuals know Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Momoa, however that is typically it.
Nicely, my woman responded to the touch upon Twitter. In typical Drew vogue, she wrote, “Literally what the actual fuck does this mean…Bro eat my whole entire fat Samoan ass u goofy ass bitch lmfaoooooo.”

“Fuck you & your mama fr lmfaooooooooo,” she concluded.
As humorous as her responses to trolls are, I really like that she additionally makes use of her platform to coach individuals who genuinely need to study. Yesterday, a fan requested if Samoans have been “historically big people.” Drew responded, “We are much taller & have a much higher bone density.”
this isn’t offensive in any respect to ask lol, to reply your query: sure. Genetically we’re a lot taller & have a a lot larger bone density. We’re thick bois primarily lol
Enjoyable reality: that’s why Samoan individuals are so well-liked within the NFL. The agility vs peak/weight is UNHEARD OF https://t.co/TkWUfLdp0Q

And he or she defined that it “doesn’t mean we’re unhealthy (which many racist people try to say about us). One of the biggest reasons Samoa has had an obesity problem is because of colonization.”
This additionally doesn’t imply we’re unhealthy (which many racist individuals attempt to say about us). One of many greatest causes Samoa has had an weight problems downside, is due to colonization. (Once more, one thing else I may ramble about for hours)
