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.

Thank you. I feel like not a lot of people consider this angle. I mean, whatever your personal heritage is, if the people of New Zealand don’t take some sort of stewardship over the national heritage, no one other country is going to.

You can't say no and just prove his point. Good job on the whitewashing though, phenomenal theft of their culture.

Try reading past "No."

You mean when you immediately mention the very thing the greentext talks about?

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.

Like, how much of an ego trip are you on to self-insert into a greentext that you argue isn't about yourself?

I fail to see where I'm inserting myself I there.

But keep tilting at windmills.

Bye.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
