I just spent a considerable amount of time attempting to explain why "pakeha" is just as bad as new zealander, and failed. Le sigh. My debating skills have gone down the drain - I'll never be a politician. I can't lie well.

So, it's Pakeha-German for moi, being exactly half-half. :) That took a ridiculously short time for me to convert. Where did all my argumentativeness, all my expertise in making facts out of opinon, all my pig-headedness go? I'm getting soft in my young age.
