AOTEAROA?
P R writes > Since when has this country changed its name? All we hear from the media now is Aotearoa this and Aotearoa that they seem to embraced this word and forgotten this country is officially called New Zealand. It would take an act of parliament after a referendum of the people's vote to make any change to this countries name. We are being Maorified by the media at every opportunity we cannot even hear the news without having phrases in Maori being inserted in the dialogue.
If anyone wants to learn the Maori language then by all means do so of your own volition but please do not force it on the rest of us.
I can understand Maori wanting to keep their language alive for future generations but in reality, there are no full-blooded Maori in this country most have more European blood in their DNA but choose to be Maori ignoring their other heritage. Take for instance the two Maori Party MP's how much actual Maori DNA do they have?
It is time the mainstream media of this country stop trying to force this language down the throats of the majority, there are several Maori TV channels on which they can speak Maori but leave it off the English-speaking channels. English is the universal language used worldwide so why not accept it?
