Subject: RE: BS: Child abuse Pitcairn
Once again, my post caused some confusion. Yes, the people of the Pitcairns are a mix of Polynesians and mutineers. Rape and incest has probably been a part of the culture that was developed there by those people. Do you really think the Polynesian women had anything to say about it? I think not. Now, it just seems normal because it has been going on for generations. In that way it is very similar to the history of Indigenous people in Canada. It is not a part of their culture. It has been imposed on them. Rape and incest are an imposition.
