it will happen - it's only a question of when - which comes down to how afraid Māori remain of the explicit threat of extinction by the slowly decreasing (but increasingly heavily-armed) fraction of the population that are openly white supremacist - currently around three million out of five.
Keeping any statue of a white in Aotearoa is white supremacist - no difference from keeping statues of confederate soldiers and generals in the re-Confederating USA, or statues of Stalin in Eastern Europe.
Keeping English names of towns or cities (except possibly Auckland) is white supremacist - no difference to dong the same anywhere else - or calling Kyiv "Kiev".
Keeping schools English medium is white supremacist - Wales has a plan to move their entire primary and secondary education system to Welsh, whereas we're literally doing the reverse.
white zelaanders love to decry afrikaaners as the big racists - but of course South Africa returned the legislature and executive to the Indigenous Peoples (even tho' the judiciary still embodies a white veto) but that's still far more progress albeit thirty years ago than in white zelaand today - but hey, our country is still named in Afrikaans
just who do white zelaanders think we are?
why are we still here?
