>school graduation and it was all in Maori,
That's retarded, here all we do is some 3 sentence bullshit that "We acknowledge that we are on the treaty _ territory of the _____ people." No one pretends the native languages aren't dying or even bother to save them. Personally I think its kind of sad but pushing it on people with no connection and don't understand it is retarded.
>all of it's structure was taken from English,
To be fair English is mostly French, Greek, or Latin loan words, and is hardly even Germanic outside of the grammar.
>now they have "Maori words" for things like "Telephone".
I think that's good I hate seeing European languages just get lazy and start adopting 50 new English words a year when they already have words for a lot of the stuff or can make new ones.
>They're so desperate to deny their own defeat
I don't blame them, we're all here because we don't want to be replaced by foreigners, but let the savages do their own thing, if they want to work in Kiwi society they will behave like Europeans, and if they want to do their own thing they can. But forcing white Kiwis to learn or pretend to care about another culture is retarded.

Native culture is always good in their own lands, not sure why so many people want non-European peoples to act like Europeans.

Weren't the Maori there before being discovered though? I know they supposedly killed all the natives and took it over but so what? I wouldn't say an Englishman isn't native to England because his ancestors were Jutes from Mainland Europe.
