As I said in my last bit: "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."

Fair enough that NZ and Maori culture go hand in hand. It's just not me. I'm such a nomad, too! I've lived in Australia, America and here, so yeah. :)
