MAORI BLOOD QUANTUM QUESTIONS
Can anyone provide a satisfactory answer to these two questions?
Good luck -- you will need it -- because no radical 'part' or post-colonial guilt-tripping white liberal enabler has proved up to the task to date.
[1] on what basis should someone who is less than half-Maori be regarded by anyone OUTSIDE their kin group as "Maori" just because they say they are.
"Some delicate little snowflake will be butt-hurt to discover others don’t share their self-delusion" is NOT an answer.
[2] on what basis should someone who possesses more of the blood of the coloniser than of the colonised be regarded as a "victim" of "white privilege" rather than its beneficiary?
Please don't tell me Maori genes are so inferior that even a smidge is enough to make someone a congenital loser and an inadequate. Oh the soft liberal bigotry of low expectations. What was that word beginning with "R" again ...
This is the equation rational people who operate according to reason and logic consider:
More than half-Maori = on balance a Maori.
Half-Maori = you get to choose what side of the fence you jump down on (if you’re a fence-builder).
Less than half-Maori = a Pakeha with a touch of the tar brush aka an indigenous pretender.
Herendith the lesson.
