Im just gonna put this out there because I think it is totally awesome and beautiful. I teach te reo Māori for beginners out at Mokoia Community Center twice a week. I have 40 students in total and about 85% of them are non-Māori. Buzzy aye! They turn up so excited and keen and I can see them learning and developing every week and they love te reo and everything Māori. These people are doing more to care for te reo than most Māori I know. Makes me proud, and I dont even mean proud to be Māori necessarily, but proud to be a New Zealander ( and I dont say stuff like that very often). We are always hearing about the shitty race relations stuff in the media and politics dividing people based on ethnicity but not often about the beautiful stuff where people from different backgrounds come together with mutual respect.
