Are you a 'Kiwi' or a New Zealander?

[Big Dog]

If you think they're being derogatory, replying in kind makes you no better.

Race never entered into it.

Maybe that is the difference? I didn't intend to offend anyone or be derogatory, only offer a descriptor.

Just as when I use the term faka-palangi (speaking in Tongan) I am being respectful and describing things, tradition and language in English.

A couple of years ago we trimmed some dangerous branches, cut what we could into firewood and put it out by the roadside with a "free" sign.
As they were collecting the last load we got "fuck you palangi! Sieg heil!"
I may be wrong but i think they intended to cause offence.

like humans are yet the pinnacle of evolution...
We revisit??

..the supreme being dictates what transpires...whether that being is of three elephant heads or of the nailed type, humans need Disneyland...it's in our 'wantbox'...irrespective...paranoic delusions or denial are the common denominator to our passage...

You get 4th+++ generat Americans and Australians calling themselves Greek, Italian or what have you, so technically in the minds of many you are neither a Kiwi nor New Zealander

Doesn't bother me either way personally. Still better than being called Bruce.

Or maybe Daniel. Why do parents do that to their kids?
