  • Description

    "The Office of Race Relations Conciliator has been receiving more and more letters of this type:

    'I know that Pakeha means white pig. I would like you to tell me the word for brown or dappled pig. Until the word Pakeha is banned, the Maoris will be known to us as the Mongrel Mob.'

    or this: 'Keha is a flea, pa is a village. Maoris call us Pakehas to insult us - calling us fleas.'

    or this: 'I strongly object to the insulting word pakeha. I had it on good authority that it started in the 1800's - and was an adaption of the most used word by early whalers and sealers - the word being bastard.'

    The three statements seem to have been accepted merely to add fuel to hate justification activity.

    So now."--P.1.
