Very interesting look. I've noticed that Polynesian-West Eurasian mixes look predominately Caucasoid.

That's because he is predominantly European. Taika's father isn't even half Maori. He's stated his father also had Anglo and French-Canadian roots. Also, despite what sources claim, he's not half Jewish. He's only 1/8th Ashkenazi Jewish and he has admitted that his mother and himself aren't practising Jews or were even raised Jewish. He probably lied because there are many Jews in Hollywood.
