or that polyamory is when it's done by fashionable white people, and polygamy is when it's done by weird brown foreigners

I thought it was "polyamory is when it's done by New Yorkers (Californians?), polygamy is when it's done by Utahans," and weird brown people have harems and concubines instead.

(Though of course I also don't think this is a fair characterization)

Oh, I had forgot about Mormons - here in France, Muslim immigrants are the first thing that comes to mind on discussions of Polygamy.

Ah! Well, good to know. Generally I expect "Utahans" and "weird brown foreigners" are to be inflected similarly in both of these versions, anyway.
