Ah yes, nothing if not predictable.
What about Flight of the Conchords? I demand they have a place!

Yeah, but we don't count the natives. We sorta caused the vast majority of them to die off, so it's not very much of a "good thing".
...I suppose it's good that any of them still live, really.

Well, looks like you're shouldering enough guilt there for the both of us, so uh... I'll leave you with it.
Look, I'm from a predominantly Maori/Pacific Island area. Many of my family are mixed. Maori people and culture are a normal, everyday thing for me, just as they were for my parents, and pretty much all New Zealanders. Your response to the mention of Maori people is a little confusing to me; I get the impression you're being a little too free with the cookie-cutter model of 'evil Anglos vs natives!' and all it's accompanying stereotypes and it's not always so simple. Nor is it necessarily fair. But... at any rate, this is an enormous can of worms and I'll leave it at that. You can message me if you want to pick my brains about it.
So uhm... back on topic! Have some more toffee pops!

Just for the sake of clarification: a part of my family comes from New Zeland too, but they´re geneticaly European only. That being said; the were not, culturaly alien to Maori people and in fact, they have told me lots of things about them.
I personaly consider Maori culture as very interesting and the couple actual Maori I have met as amazing people. Plus they have the myths of Maui that can only be labeled as beautiful examples of poetry and storytelling.
