Do you hate living New Zealand? If yes or no what would be things that you hate or like about it. What is the racial make up of the town/city you are in? Where are people at politically? And can you have a decent conversation with the average New Zealander?
New Zealand is the usual Angloshpere asylum, so that is the down side. The climate and nature tend to be quite good. The town I live in is quite cosmopolitan, about half white and the rest a real mixture. The surrounding area used to be about 70% white with the rest being Maori, but now it is about 50-50 with some other admixtures. Most of the younger population is Maori, so crime is quite high out there. The average New Zealander probably has a little more knowledge about the world than the average American, but of course most people from anywhere tend to be morons.

Your questions seem to be more about me than NZ. Please try to keep your questions on topic.
What is it about NZ that causes some of the economically failing men there to develop rabid hatred of blacks, even though blacks are not common in NZ?
He's talking about Maori and other Polynesians who most - if not all - see themselves as 'black'.
No, that's not true. When I say "black" I am generally talking about Bantus, not mixed race Maori or Polynesians. And they don't generally see themselves as black.
Bantus are simply from the Central and Southern Africa. Most "blacks" in the American context have West African ancestry which only trace amounts of Bantu ancestry. I think the term that describes the target of your ire is Sub-Saharan Africans.

But about the Maori and Pacific Islander gangs, @yick brings up a good point. They might not think of themselves as ethnically black, but they have indeed adopted black street culture. Also, one of the most powerful and notorious street gangs in NZ is called Black Power.

In the video, the police Inspector states that South Auckland gangs pattern themselves after the LA street gangs and from their parlance, behavior, and mentality, I take that to mean black LA gangs, not Latino. Black American gangs are essentially surrogate families for young boys, and the criminologist mentions that same paradigm exists in South Auckland, not to mention the emulating of black hip hop culture from mass media.

Sub-Saharan Africans would include Khoisan, Pygmies etc.

The established Maori gangs like Black Power were originally modelled after predominantly white biker gangs, although they don't necessarily ride. Patches, territories, prospecting etc. Maybe some of the kids now copy black American street culture.

The whole book 'Once Were Warriors' by Alan Duff was about the erosion of traditonal Maori culture to the advancement of African-American culture within modern urban Maoris (and other Polynesians) they might not see themselves as related to Africans racially but they - from what I know and I bow down to your superior knowledge to it seeing as you actually live in South Auckland - see themselves as black - there were many references by Jake Heke as being a black man and even nicknamed one of his own kids as 'nig' saying that, I could accept it might not be an accurate portrayl.

Well obviously traditional Maori culture has been eroded (although Duff seems to identify more with the traditional boomer culture of his white father) but it is more being eroded towards just becoming shit rather than becoming black American, although I can see how people might confuse the two. The movie is a boomer interpretation in some respects, so Jake refers to himself as "Mr Black Ass" as a self-deprecating term because when Duff was his age it was perceived (maybe rightly) that whites controlled everything and so everyone darker, and that mean almost exclusively Maori in those days, was inferior.

BTW, I do not live in South Auckland. Although the movie OWW was set in South Aukland, the book was obviously set in a shitty area of Duff's home town of Rotorua (of which Two Lakes, the name of the small city in the book, is a transliteration of and actually exists of course and is a popular tourist attraction due to all its volcanic activity). Jake would actually probably be shot fairly quickly in the completely non-NZ South Auckland of today.

Cornfed, I have always felt that certain mixed Maori girls are quite cute. Plus these people are evidently a race that once produced a lot of powerful wariors, as can be said of many Polynesian races. Have you never considered finding a partner from this ethnic group?
Short answer, yes, but you have all the same problems.

Many of them are economically not-so-well off, and one of them may be able to provide you with strong sons.
So are many Filipino tribes, from the Igorot of the nothern Cordilleras to the Bagobos of Mindanano. The only trace of their glorious past is probably in the way some of them train professionally as MMA fighters, Arnis performers or boxeurs.

Perhaps. But at this stage, what do you have to lose? Your window of opportunity is closing, why not pursue one? I know I would, if I were in your shoes.
Perhaps. It is something I think from time to time, although you always have something to lose. You are not suggesting anything to me that hasn't previously occurred to me.

So what's keeping you? Time's ticking. You could still build-a-tiny-warrior with one. :wink:
Indeed, and if my sperm is still good I could do so for a long time, although sooner is better, but once again, lets not make this thread about me.

My wife's ancestors come from an era that has many Igorots. Her mother has some Spanish blood but her father's father is one of the last pureblooded members of a tribe that now has only a few thousand members. Him and her uncles are among the last few speakers of their language. It's pretty nice to think about at times, how such interesting DNA now found its way to my children. Although when I think "warriors" I think of Maori first before Filipinos, as not all Filipino tribes were particularly warlike... the strongest warrior culture was likely among the Bugkalots/Ilongots of the Cordillera region in Luzon, the former headhunters. Met many from their tribe, they are small but powerfully built compared to your average Filipino and have legs like mountain goats... seen one of their men, a grandfather of twelve, climb back and forth over narrow muddy roads carrying heavy bags of rice as if it was nothing.
Fantastic. There is indeed some "blood pride" in these people of the mountains. Any coincidence Team Lakay, the factory of so many MMA champions (Folayang, the Banario bros, Pacio, etc.) is based in Baguio?

I’ve been on this forum for over a decade and have repeatedly doxxed myself, but it seems only now have people got it through their skulls where I am from. So it is a good time for me to perform a public service by answering questions related to NZ. Don’t ask me about contemporary politics or the stupid stuff portrayed on TV, because I think they are irrelevant and don’t care about them. But for other stuff, ask away.
I have questions about NZ wildlife. How common is it for someone to be hiking or out in nature and see a Kiwi (bird) and other birds native to NZ? Are the birds in New Zealand really friendly like articles say and people could go up to them and pick them up? The articles said the biggest reason most birds in New Zealand are endangered and many at risk of becoming extinct is because there use to be no natural predators so they lost the ability to fly, and now rats, domesticated and feral animals like cats and dogs are killing them and eating the eggs because the birds didn't use to have any predators so they didn't learn to feel threatened by other animals.

Kiwi sightings are pretty rare. For one thing they are nocturnal. II myself have only seen kiwis in the wild on a couple of occasions when out shooting possums. It is very common to see various other native birds. Some birds are friendly such as fantails. In fact one was bothering me at work today. Then you have birds like kea that are somewhat fearless and aggressive. In general though, no, most birds are not tame. Maybe the article is thinking of sanctuaries you can visit where the birds feel safe. Yes it true that predators are a major problem. It is not so much that the birds don't feel threatened as they tend to be K-selected in that they are long lived and slow to reproduce, so ill-equipped to deal with the new predator filled environment. An interesting feature about conservation work in NZ is that it is largely about killing things, which apparently causes NZ conservation workers to be regarded as barbaric by their overseas counterparts.

What's the future of New Zealand, will it one day become a republic? Will it become more Polynesian or more East Asian in character?

How would you encourage more British/Irish immigration to even it all out?

The future of NZ is that if nothing is done it will crash and burn and become a giant prison farm staffed by whoever is most convenient for the global elite at the time, which is how the global elite viewed NZ all along. Hopefully something will be done, but the revolution will have to begin in America. No-one cares that much about becoming a republic or not, except that we have a sentimental attachment for the British monarchy and such things as Knighthoods and VCs. Personally I don’t like British Isles immigration any more than any other immigration. They are a pain in the ass and generally arrogant, and they are put into government positions, presumably to maintain white type standards while denying local white men influence. We just need to get all recent immigrants the hell out. Then we need to deal with our own racial problems. I would actually favour a kind of two state solution to do that.
