Having played football in the Old Days with many Samoans, I have to agree with you. I know it's a huge generality to say so, but they are as tough as any people I've ever known.

Kinda like Nicky Santoro from the great Scorcese movie "Casino". De Niro's character describes Nicky as such:

"No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And if you beat him with a gun, you better kill him...because he'll keep coming back...until one of you is dead."

Many Samoans (living in southern California at least) are related, and you take on one Samoan, you take on the family. So you don't want to take them on, take my word.

Ahhh trip down memory lane. We had an idiot try to rob a bar full of Samoans in Fontana, CA.

Oh the idiot got off a few shots, but they still pounded him. I had to get one of the Samoans pick up the pool table so I could get a photograph of the Suspect's blood trail when he crawled under it ;^)

They are hard workers, but don't try to cheat them out of their wages.
