How do we get the care we need?

It is a very different environment in New Zealand today. No longer a we a monoculure or a bi-cultural society for that matter. We are a multi-cultural society.

But let us not forget our own roots. Lets not forget that in this society there is such a thing as a Pakeha culture. We do have the right to be care for as a Pakeha. No matter how we look at it, Pakeha still make a the majority of New Zelanders and are being cared for by a multi-cultural workforce. Pakeha need to tell the carers what they want not let them give them what they think you want.

Now I am not intending to start a riot here. I think we are very blessed to have such rich diversity in NZ. What I am saying, let us not forget that Pakeha has a unique culture of its own and needs to be recognised to. While Pakeha now are good at recognising and embracing other cultures. Do the other cultures recognise and embrace us in the same way.
