[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 532978, member: 44093"] That's weird eh, given that the vast majority of our population are all immigrants. Hardly any white NZers would be more than a 3rd generation kiwi. I find it weird when a commentator or author refers to a Pacific Islanders heritage, but never refer to a white dude's heritage even if their grandparents or parents had moved to NZ at a similar time. You never hear about for example Richie McCaw's (or pick any white All Black) proud English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh heritage. I guess people are more willing to accept a white guy as a NZer rather than a brown guy, even though their roots to NZ may be exactly the same. [/QUOTE]
