Please refrain from this sort of imperialist language. Refer to the particular nations and peoples by their real names, not a catch-all concocted by a Frenchman.

This is the first time I hear about that people in Polynesia have something against the term "Polynesia". Do you have any resources where I can read more about how they feel about the term as when I've visited many of the islands, I've never come across this before.
