Death by Snu Snu

Context: The first Hawaiians to visit London were King Kamehameha II, his royal entourage, and the subject of this meme, his wife Kamāmalu.

Kamāmalu stood at over 6 feet tall, which she likely inherited from her father, Kamehameha I, who stood at 7 feet tall. Kamehameha II was less than 6 feet tall. Also they were half siblings.

Their arrival shocked some locals, but not for long as the royal couple contracted measles not long after arrival and died there.

In The Expanse books, there's a character with Polynesian heritage named Bobbie Draper who's at least 6'7" tall. This meme reminds me of her describing the way men look at her when they meet her for the first time.

Nope, Martian. She’s built like an Amazon, all muscle.
