What about Maori seats? What about Maori Affairs Department? I can't see that we should feel unduly 'repentant' for the way they've been treated? Why are you making me feel guilty for something I didn't do? I worked for what I got, why can't I keep it?, Maori language has no literature it isn't useful, What is your tribe? We Pakeha don't have a culture, There is no major issues involving Maori land in the South Island, Who is the official voice of the Maori people? Who do we believe? Some of my best friends are Maori and they don't talk like this, Maori people are easy-going and lazy, why try to change them? T The Maoris themselves are colonist - what are the Morioris? Some people seem to be advocating seperate development - isn't that apartheid? Why can't we all just be one people? |
