The white people being more Maori than the Maori is pretty accurate actually.

No. It's just that some of us Pākehā actually care about preserving and supporting a people and a culture that our ancestors did their best to eradicate.

Those of us that care enough, will find out the appropriate ways to provide such support.

Auckland Airport has some (IMHO somewhat crass) token Māoritanga in the international terminal. They're quite happy to exploit Māori when there's tourism dollars to be made.

Wellington based civil servant, by any chance?

Nope. Not in Welly, nor civil service, nor publicly owned employer or clients or anything.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

Hmm. You'd fit right in in the civil service.

And you probably fit right in 1930's Germany
