This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The white people being more Maori than the Maori is pretty accurate actually.

I enjoyed the meme, but it's still better to have folks embrace your indigenous culture than try to stamp it out or banish it to the undesirable parts of your homeland.

Unfortunately it got embraced heavily in corporate office culture not so much in everyday culture so most peoples day to day experience with maori culture is very soulless and performative. The only positive is its keeping the language alive.

That corporate adoption is only profit/marketing driven anyway.

Look how culturally sensitive we are! Spend money with us!

It's sickening.
