I agree with you on the word pakeha being a racist term, along with
"palangi"
it pisses me off having to sign a paperwork and put my nationality as something that means either 'white pig or white shit'
as logical as it may seem, being racist back to the people who use
these words wont solve anything. if you want to solve the problem tell
them that you think its racist, if they don't listen to you and
continue calling you that shit then go hard.
I am currently in the process of making these words legaly classified
as racist.
Whos with me?
This may be old but I don't care.
I hate the damn word, and call everyone who calls me a pakeha, a nigger.
I'd rather be called white. or kiwi. I am not european and have no traits resembling europeans. Caucasian is fine, a word that means white man
worldwide.

When I was young (1930s) we all used the N word and didn't think anything of it.
There was a rhyme "Ten little N..... boys" that every child knew in Britain. Then we were told to say Darky instead. I think that could be offensive
too, these days.
I try not to offend anybody, and I don't care what folks call me. (I'm English).
