The Maori
Do you feel uncomfortable/ashamed of the fact that white Europeans slaughtered Maoris on mass just a century ago? Do you feel that the present NZ government is doing enough to appease and satisfy any rights that the Maori have?
I suppose that there must still be a lot of resentment as thousands of Maoris were killed so that Europeans could settle in NZ. Being only a century ago, and the Maori being denied many rights (i.e. education) by white Europeans until relatively recently, surely this issue is still a rather worrying and topical issue. Do you think that, in general, Maoris still harbour a deep hatred and resentment towards Europeans?
Tottefan.
