Ok. Well. I never said I was scientific, just that there are terms like "Polynesian", "Caucasian", "Asian" etc, and I'm not a European, so I go with Caucasian. I'm just a little white girl. ;)
Fair enough on the 3rd one. But I don't like 'Pakeha', so I don't use it. For some stupid reason to some people this makes me a racist. ;)
If I was Maori and there was a well-known anglicised word for Maori, I wouldn't use it to describe myself. So I don't see why I should use a Maori word to describe myself. Shrug.
