@jo123mango 4 года назад

This is the most racist video I have seen in a long time. Why should that young man have to learn a foreign language just to go out and buy food in his own country? Expanding the mind and stretching ones self has great benefit, but this is classic bait and switch. It seems the message is how noble it is to know and make the effort to know the outsider. 'See we are all just people'. And of course in Otara where we are all poor, this is the story of the common man. We are all just striving to live, right? But there is a bigger story. China is at war with the world. And Maori are being used in this message.

@moistnutella9560 3 года назад

@Leonard Carr Not necessarily, Malay and Maori are very distant relatives and only a few basic words like fire will be similar: Malay: api, Maori: ahi, but much like how it wouldn't be a cakewalk for an Englishman to learn German despite being comparatively closely related in the Indo-European language family, I'd assume a Malay speaker would still have to put in a lot of effort to learn te reo Maori.

@moistnutella9560 3 года назад

Leonard Carr Well, most Maori people speak English as their first language, not Te reo, and as a Malaysian Chinese person who grew up in Auckland I have yet to meet a Malay person who speaks Te Reo, most Malaysians who come to New Zealand are Malaysian Chinese and tend to identify with the greater general East Asian dispora in New Zealand especially as there aren’t that many Malays in New Zealand. But thanks for informing me! Interesting stuff.

@moistnutella9560 3 года назад

Jacky Phantom They’ll say they’re Malaysian Chinese if you ask their original nationality and a lot of Malaysian culture comes to New Zealand primarily through Malaysian Chinese immigrants but generally they also get absorbed into the greater Chinese diaspora as part of the Overseas Chinese identity. I know a few who stick to their Malaysian roots but there are also a lot who just drop it, which isn’t too surprising since most non Malay Malaysians leave Malaysia due to the rampant discrimination and institutional racism that is seeded deep in the country.

@moistnutella9560 3 года назад

Jacky Phantom Lmao idk what you want me to do, I’m just speaking from personal experience and based off the Malaysian Chinese people I have met here in New Zealand.

@moistnutella9560 3 года назад

Leonard Carr Look, I seriously don’t understand why you guys are getting mad at me. I’m not the leader of Malaysian Chinese people who move overseas, I don’t control them, what do you want me to do?! I’m just speaking from my experiences and what I’ve seen. Would you prefer for me to just say oooohhh yeah all Malaysian Chinese just stick in Malaysian enclaves everywhere they go and sing the Malaysian national anthem everyday since they are the most patriotic people on earth to their beloved homeland.
