No, why don't you try to learn to facts before posting, just like...err...the rest of us? Opps, stupid me! IT IS COOL TO TALK OUT OF YOUR ASS.
Look kiddie, the lands stolen off Maori WERE NOT legally acquired. Regardless of the interpretational controversies and which version of the Treaty is to reign supreme, BOTH guaranteed Maori (at a minimum) some level of property rights and equality before the settlers' law. Now do you happen to think forced confiscation, "acquiring" of lands at below market value, coercion, and the various other bits of dirtiness that successive NZ government got up to from the mid 19th century to at least the 1970s happen to be legal? If you do, you're either out of your mind or stupid beyond words.
Similar issues apply to Zimbabwe. It might help if you realise that some of those lands the white farmers "lost" were actually stolen or forcibly confiscated from blacks duing the colonial years. Of course, none of this excuses Mugabe's violent streaks and other maniacal behaviour. But isn't it funny how everyone is so much more concerned when the whiteys get hit? I mean, historical injustice for niggers don't matter, right?
Do you really think shitting on the 500k+ people who identify themselves as Maori in a population of 4 million is a brilliant idea? Occasionally, you just need to get off your superior complexes and realise that people are complaining over heartfelt injustices, not because they happen to fit with your myriad of BS stereotypes for that particular group.
