Now this is some good discussion.

But I would add that to me, Islander could go a couple of ways.

It could refer to The Hawaiian Islands, or the general overarching idae of the Pacific Islands ( which would include Micronesia, Polynesia, and all the other "nesias") OR it could refer to the Islands as in Tortuga, Haiti, Jamaica etc, or as in my high school, it could refer to the Easter Islanders.

See "I Was An Islander"

A further sub genre of it would include KEY WEST ISLANDER. Which might also include Buffet stuff.

Maybe some could post some definitive shots of each style for future new members and to allow everyone to view the styles.
