Please remember where you have come from, whether Maori or other lands = Aotearoa has a treaty and that includes sharing the land and to work alongside each other (respect). Just remember, nobody asked for the prejudice & hatred, in fact, it goes against your human rights.

Huh... is your korero directed at the victim? Where are you from?

[@tiffanysytartist205]

@@TheSmiley316 just people in general. It's a reflective thought and also to the offender as a "bro, wth?!"

[@tiffanysytartist205]

@@TheSmiley316 I'm Maori, and mixed. Not sure where the last full-blooded Maori are anymore? Some claim to be the last and that's another korero.

@@tiffanysytartist205 that's why maori have to create with other maori, that's what will bring the percent of Maori bloodline up, the most percentage of Maori bloodline recorded in modern day is 87%, and that was 10 years ago. We will at least hit 99.9% in the future.

[@Souljainbattle]

Yeah well you let them beat you up an put you down. Thats why we have an old custom called utu to make these things right. I dont understant why would you get that tattoo on your face if your not willing or ready to uphold the customs an honour of whoever an wherever your from.
