COMBINED LOOKS
I can well understand Tommy Wilson's pride in his niece becoming head girl at Bethlehem College but cannot help wondering why, under her charming photo, he reels off a string of possible tribal heritage but no mention of her very obvious European ancestors who have given her her blonde good looks. I have noticed time and time again, that part-Maori cite their tribal links but absolutely totally ignore the fact that they have European or other ethinicity. Wonder why this is so. They should be just as proud of the latter as they are of any Maori connections.
