I've lived in NZ a few times and have Kiwi citizenship, as well as Pommie, and Aussie. A large part of my childhood was in NZ.
I wish people would understand, the Maori are NOT indigenous to NZ! I'm sure most people think they are, because that is how they are presented to the world. I also wouldn't be surprized if lots of Maori children are brought up these days being told they are indigenous.
Yes, the Poms colonized NZ. However, much earlier, the Maori arrived from Polynesia and colonised the country, and 'dealt' with the people who were already living there.
The Maori were more advanced and they loved war, and also cannibalism. In today's woke religious world, these things are not really being taught anymore.
The article in the link mentions the, "British colonizers." But what about the Maori colonizers? In the religion of the woke, tanned, brown, or black people from any land cannot be criticized
I agree with what is said by this politican:
“My Treaty Principles Bill says that I, like everybody else, whether their ancestors came here 1,000 years ago, like some of mine did, or just got off the plane at Auckland International Airport this morning to begin their journey as New Zealanders, have the same basic rights and dignity,” he told the BBC.
“Your starting point is to take a human being and ask, what's your ancestry? What kind of human are you?” adds Seymour who has Māori ancestry himself. “That used to be called prejudice. It used to be called bigotry. It used to be called profiling and discrimination. Now you're trying to make a virtue of it. I think that's a big mistake.”
