[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 532985, member: 20605"] I don't think he was saying what he believes. I got the impression that he was playing devil's advocate; essentially saying what he believes that [I]others[/I] believe, and how they justify their stance. Looks like he went to Wales as a child, so in the absence of any other information, poached from Wales perhaps No, thats not right. I would say that MOST white New Zealanders are third generation or more. A generation is about 20 years. I was born in England but my daughter was born here, and so was her daughter, so that makes her a second generation kiwi. She has just turned 14, so within the next 10 years, she may have children of her own, and they would be third generation, from a mid-1960's immigrant; me! Immigration to NZ goes back well over 150 years. [/QUOTE]
