That's respect for Maori culture. Which pretty lame for country so pragmatic and atheistic.
Maori science [0] is being reintroduced in schools too. And while it's not some woowoo science it still feels forced, almost like a brand for big corps.
There's 0% Maori culture in my day to day life unless it's some business trying to be hip (see: AirNZ cabin safety videos).

- dzhiurgis 3y agoWhats the word would you use? Baffling maybe? I've outlined reasons why it's lame. What are yours for calling me out?
- peterashford 3y agoThe word I would use is "appropriate". I'm not sure a couple of reactionary right wing talking points constitute good reasons, but you do you.
