She didn't want me to be bilingual just to speak her first language, because there is such a small population of people who speak it, she felt it would hold me back, to invest time and energy learning it.
She was sick of the shit that comes with the Polynesian package, too. She didn't want me hanging out with other Samoans. If she met another Samoan who wasn't part of her family, she gave them a very wide birth. She was like racist against her own race.
And many others
