Is the word Pakeha racist? So Pakeha originally meant not Maori, foreigner, alien, exotic. That was it's definition and use. However; it's historical *use* was against European colonisers - so it has become defacto attached to Europeans due to historical connotations. It seems then that the word Pakeha is a word used to identify specifically white people with a connotation that they are "not from here", alien, invaders, colonisers, "not us", outsiders. The fact that the word Pakeha is no longer applied to other non-natives like Asians, Pacific Islanders, Mexicans, etc, underscores that this is a term that is more about racism and dividing society based on ancestral transgressions based purely on skin colour - and not about merely identifying native vs non-native New Zealanders. How is that not racist? An example would be a Spaniard or Canadian being treated as a Pakeha with all the baggage that carries in some environments when they actually have nothing to do with colonising NZ. You can say that 'that is just what the word has come to mean' - but I mean - that would mean the only difference between that and other racist terms, is generally white people DGAF about it. *puts a log on the fire and sits back* Last edited by _indigo1 : 19th April 2022 at 13:08. |

There's also racism in the sense of judging individuals and communities by the race you identify them as, exploiting racial inequalities, both at the individual and institutional level. Likewise there are the efforts to mitigate racial inequalities, addressing the problems that we've identified have emerged from this history, this exploitation. To offer redress. All this is racism. Unfortunately the extent of the education many of us receive on racism can be an overworked teacher telling us "don't be racist". It's understandable more nuanced understandings of the concept can be met with resentment by those who just thought we were all trying hand not to be racist, whatever that actually means.

Well yes, you're defining a group of people based on whether or not they're a part of your race, so yes, it's racist to the definition of the term, but then it'll be up to you and the rest of society to determine whether or not it's an acceptable level of racism. That's also something that changes over time. It used to be perfectly acceptable to discuss any manner of things that would be considered disgustingly racist today.
Obviously those things aren't all equal comparisons of equal weight, but it's so nuanced no one's got it right yet.

Interestingly, during my period of being self classed as a Pacific Islander in the medical system, the GPs nurse was profiling me for type-2 diabetes. Since changing to Euro-NZ no such drama.

It all comes down to what's cost-effective.
It's much cheaper lumping people together by race, than come up with more sophisticated means to identify people at risk due to their biological profile. Money is the priority in all of this.

Doesn't Pakeha just mean "Anyone not Maori."? So yea, they would be.
Like how either you were Greek, or you were a Barbarian.

I don't go around considering who or what other people are. I'll let them tell me, otherwise, why do I need to know? At least, I do my best.
I'm a Pakeha in the sense I'm a European descendant who grew up in direct relationship with a Maori community. You might be a different kind of Pakeha, that's up to you. I get that this isn't how these things worked in history, but history is full of bullshit and we can make our own decisions.

Neither Musk nor the Twitter board have any choice. Offer and acceptance; neither can pull out. It was never not going to go ahead.

Yeah - when I saw that on the news last night I said to the boy "Looks like more Covid anti-vax conspiracy nutters..." then realised I was just basing it on people going off grid.
