Pakeha - do you like this name?

[firefighter]

and why seemingly sane people buy bland Japanese bikes.....

Reliability, looks, speed, fun, COST, maintenance costs, more mods can be done, wont leave you on the side of the road broken down .......etcetc

And before you say a thing about 'soul', I bet I can have more mods done than yours can!!! Or I suppose that is more character than soul.........Still, more carboncopy ducs than Hornets!!!

[Dean]

Again, you can't help but make it about yourself........



You obviously missed my point, it's a piss take you monkey.....

It's all a piss - take, for you to take it this seriously means there's some truth behind it.....because we all know that hurts.......!

oh yeah, i'm secretly Naomi Cambells hairdresser!!!!!!! You got me!

Nope

Take it easy milkyway, i like swinging from vine to vine, in this world we call a jungle.

Tomato, tumato, i stated my opinions about offensvie name calling, im sure someone one backs up my opinion on this. You just cant be a hypocrite complaining about how you get treated unfairly.

Hahahaha, no the name of the wee tyke is slightly more traditional.......it's Harley!!!!!

And i'm no hypocrite, I don't recall ever treating anyone poorly due to race.......

And I don't think i'm treated unfairly at all, I never said that, I just don't like that one word appearing on forms I need to fill out......

Harley aye will have to write that one down

I wonder if anyone has called their son Pakeha, thats a good question huh. I dont even know any Maori except kia ora, but i think in Maori it means "pale pig" im not to sure on that one.

[Robbo]

The word Pakeha does'nt bother me in the slightest and i don't find it offensive in any way but i do prefer to be called or refered to as a Kiwi because that's what i am.

[Zuki lover]

Frankly, they don't like being called niggers or blacks, so why should we accept being called pakeha's.

We are all one nation, we are all one people, so why are they the ones who discriminate against us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In British, Kia Ora means "orange juice".

[98tls]

Wonder if Pakeha was originally spelt with an h,if not then yes im deeply offended and yes compensation will fix the problem.

[Dean]

does this mean i can call you a savage or a cannibal if i wish? Im sure my people used these words to describe your people at around the same time in our history...

To be honest you can call me what you feel fitted, at the end of the day i cant controll what people say. Im an independant dude i just dont give a.............

[Bonez]

Not too worried at all:

Could well be from pakepakeha: imaginary beings resembling men.

Or and I like this:

From pakehakeha: one of the sea god

wtf... You think it means "pale pig" and then wonder why people "whine" about it on KB?

You'll like the other one.

The word maori, if put in its proper orignal context, really means ordinary.

"tangata maori" or "ordinary man" was sortened to maori by the whities.
Wouldn't be surprised if "pakehakeha" was shortened to pakeha by the whities too .

"poaka" is pig.
"keha" is flea.

Im not to sure, i probably dont even know as much Maori as the average european, i just remember asking about what it meant and somewhere along those lines a person told me it.
