What planet are you on Ix? Generation Y wouldn't even grasp half of those concepts.

Sadly mate they belong to a mythical past which we fondly recall.......

2) the term Pakeha has no meaning and yet is so offensive?

We were raised with the understanding that the word 'Pakeha' simply means those who are not of the same. Be it way of living and way of being.

I have never applied the term 'pakeha' in a derogatory form as far as I am concerned it is not ... but things can become distorted sometimes

Everyone's world view is ultimately the same, isn't it?

They need a new word.

Whenever i'm asked what ethnicity i am i answer with Terran, strangely i end up being listed as nz-european anyway..

anyway.. world view..

The world is a fucked up place.
just do the best you can with what you've got for yourself and family. Then work to improve it. (family may not necessarily be related)

What about Hippies? We are a minority these days - but some of us still hold fast to the old ideals.Cool,bummer,freaky,dude - the words of our culture are deeply ingrained in modern society.

I've still got my long hair in a draw somewhere....
