Well said, Roadkill, typical Nga-puhi might I venture. Having lived a blissful five years in Paihia, I've met many people who refer to themselves as Nga-puhi. To me its more accurate than "maori", which is not true of any New Zealander. Princess Bandit likes to refer to herself as "maori", instead of being honest, and using "part maori, part pakeha". 'Maori ' is ethnic and therefore race based (racist?), Nga- puhi is tribal, familial, and therefore undeniable.
By the way, I live in Dubai presently, and calling someone 'sand monkey' is not tolerated. Emirati have zero sense of humour, very serious folk indeed! Just post a really shit video about a prophet on youtube, and see where that gets you.

My opinion is that a lot of people who get offended only do so because they think they should be offended because they are not as bright as they think they are or want to be.

"Maori" as I understand it translates to "ordinary".

Thought the flip side of Arabic was infidel, oops that's the flip side of Islam like Genital is the flip side of Jew and Heretic the flip side of Christian.

Genital..?

I don't blame you ... I would not like that either ... but is there a reason people call you Hairy Scrotum with Scratchy Fleas?

Sort of right,,but not quite,,,sort of thing.

Maori means ordinary only in as much as Pakeha means not ordinary.

The word only really works when it's used in context.

Another way to see at is as "The ordinary or the common people" but again,,only in as much as "Pakeha" is neither of those two.

Maori is a new word,or a new way to describe "all" the different tribes as being one,,,very much a European concept,because before the advent of Europeans in NZ "Nobody" would of described themselves "Maori".

Funny thing about that. No one seems to want to be lumped in to any group that I'm in for some reason.

My shaving had nothing to do with the fleas.

What is funny ... is how long it takes some to realize they should be offended.

A well made insult can actually sound like praise .... if you do it right ...
