what a non-answer. regardless, the book - and javert, eventually - realizes the stupidity of your position here. the world doesn't work like that.
The musical is better than the book. Herbert Kretzmer, who wrote the English lyrics, was a South African.
The Maori weren't rounded up into concentration camps no. Some did get used in prison labour in my city. They shipped the North Island "trouble makers" down here long way from home.
So they were never treated as poorly as we were, yet international public sympathy for them is far greater than for us.
My arguement though is NZs near the top of the list for peace and lack of corruption SA is terrible by comparison.
South Africa was not always as violent and corrupt as it is today. Paul Kruger was able to sit on his front porch every morning, with no bodyguards, just chatting with anyone who wanted to see him. That could never happen in the New South Africa.
Africa was decolonized but die to the crappy systems pitbin place they lacked the educated workforce to main things like power plants etc. You see the results today.
Perhaps decolonization was a little hasty?
NZ educated the Maori they're still behind compared to other groups but there's enough if them to form a middle class and invest their tribal assets well.
It's not like NZ impoverished them in the first place. They were always poorer than Europeans were, even before colonialism. Taika Waititi is very wealthy.
No one hates each other outside of very rare extremists. I've meet Maori who be are still salty about the events of the 19th century but no one wanted to hurt anyone else.
Many blacks in South Africa wish to harm whites, though.
Multicultural frankenstein over bland flavorless soggy sameness puree every time, twice on sunday, for a thousand thousand years.
Uniformity is for the weak.
I completely disagree. Pretty much everyone who looks at it rationally would prefer living in Orania to London.
When you spout out Alt-right white supremacst talking points. Again, I’m going to repeat myself since you didn't grasp what I said when I last brought it up. When you spout out alt-right white supremacst talking points. Don’t be surprised when your infamy gets spread into other communities. You’re very very lucky that your infamy is only in the other forum. Your posts here that you made, would go viral if your screeds were posted on Reddit and Twitter.
I know you’re going to cry “I’m not a white supremicist”. That only signals to me that you are in denial (and failed reading comprehension). As the saying goes “if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…”.
I have a very high degree of respect for the Japanese and other East Asians.
It does not matter if Valka is Queen or not. It’s a sign of politeness when you refer to someone Sir or Ma’am, especially if you’re addressing or getting the attention of someone you don’t know their name. But I guess you rather toss aside any notion of politeness for a quick win at “pwning the libs”
I'll call her Ma'am if she calls me Baas.
I’m sure other people would call you, less pleasurable names here with the talking points you espoused on this board. As you’ve already seen when you peaked into another board Valka hangs out at.
Interracial marriages shouldn’t raise any questions on weather or not their being assimilated in a group.
You do know that the Great Replacement Theory is an anti-semetic conspiracy theory, right?
This has nothing to do with that theory. It's a mathematical fact. When a group is outnumbered by 10:1, and the minority group intermarries with the majority group en masse, said minority group will cease to exist as a distinct and unique entity. The Great Replacement Theory is about mass migration, not intermarriage in South Africa.
….yet.
Says that he does not want to discuss further about the American Tribes and their assimilation, then proceeds to discuss American Tribes and their assimilation.
To me it seems you want to annihilate other cultures. Forcing American Natives to learn English and punishing them for using their native language leads to language death. It’s only recently that other tribes across America have taken the effort to reconstruct and resurrect Native American languages that are dead or on the verge of becoming extinct.
Lots of languages are dead, so what? No one speaks Proto-Indo-European anymore either, it's not some great loss. You can get a lot farther in the world speaking English than you can speaking Cherokee.
Given that you won’t like living in Canada and New Zealand (I suspect you won’t like living in the US eather cause, multiculturalism). We get it, anything that expouses any sense of multiculturalism is a degenerate abomination in your eyes.
Haven't I already made this clear many times over?
I’d perfer a “multicultural Frankenstein of a nation” over a ethonationalist fascist state.
My pain, your thrill...
I'm slightly different I don't think multiculturalism is better than monoculture (or close to it).
There's pros and cons of both. In NZs case the Europeans came here and like it or not the Pakeha and Maori are stuck with each other.
Because both groups failed to assimilate the others. Maori weren't able to Maorify the whites (which is what I assume Paheka means), and whites weren't able to completely westernize the Maori. Look at South Africa - the Huguenots were assimilated into the Afrikaner population, and no longer are a distinct group, but many Afrikaners have Huguenot surnames, and some Huguenot influences remain in our culture to this day.
Looking at other nations it see s we're doing something bright. We're working through things in our own way that process will take generations.
Lots of countries tried their own path to reduce the racial gap, only to be sanctioned for it. Rhodesia was moving towards more power sharing between white and black, but the UN meddled and stuck its nose into internal Rhodesian affairs, and well, Mugabe's Zimbabwe speaks for itself. There would be equal power sharing between black and white Rhodesians decades ago if Ian Smith's plans hadn't been interfered with by arrogant UN officials.
Looking at the horrific mess SA, USA and other nations have made of things we did something right.
Multicultural countries are rarely stable. Think of Yugoslavia, the Ottoman Empire, and China, in addition to the aforementioned countries. Unfortunately, population distribution in South Africa makes an ethnic partition on the lines of Austria-Hungary impossible. If Boers were concentrated in one area where we were the majority, we would have gone our own way by now...I'm sure most black South Africans would be thrilled to be rid of us, most of them seem to hate us. Sad, I don't hate them.
Results speak for themselves lots more Safus migrating here than vice versa why Kiwis would go to SA over traditional places like UK and Australia is beyond me.
South Africa is a difficult place to live in if you are White these days, which is why so many of us have scattered across the sea.
In NM most of the tribe actively discourage/prevent non tribal members from learning their native languages. IIRC the 19 tribes in NM speak at least 4 different languages.
Like Harry and Meghan, they want half in, half out. They want the benefits of the USA (i.e. government money, etc...), but they don't want to share their culture with the rest of the USA.
