I dont agree that people fear it and people are entitled to reject maori culture being forced on them. I am a New Zealander and for me, personally, I have no interest in maori culture. Its not my culture so why should I be forced to embrace any part of it.
Maori culture does not make me the kiwi that I am. If it gives you warm and fuzzies then thats great but a lot of people have no interest in embracing maori culture.
Nobody is scared of it. Why should we all have to learn it? Its part of maori culture, not New Zealand culture and some of us just arent that interested.
So work smarter, upskill, retrain, further educate yourself and then earn better money. Complaining about being poor will get you nowhere, do something about it.
