Yes, Polynesians are Asians. The question is not if ; the question is how much of Asia relates to the Malayo-Polynesian Southeast Asian Expansions.

Asia - Asia Pacific is very diverse, Asia includes India, Russia, Melanesia , Papua , and extends to parts of the Middle East and eastern Europe or Eurasia; the stereotype of a toned man doing Kung Fu does not encompass Asia and has been an image left to those uneducated.
