As a Pakeha New Zealander I am fed up with having to bend to all other ethnic groups in this country.
We have a culture too. We are generally a fairly passive group of people. We have been told to recognise other ethnic groups and be culturally sensitve.
But what about us!!! Who is being sensitive to our needs? Who is making sure people understand US.
Get real Pakeha New Zealanders. Speak up for your needs and your rights. Stop being so passive about it.
A message to all caregivers, including RN's and Managers, Pakeha New Zealanders have rights and needs. Many of us have been living here for 4 or 5 generations. We don't have to take what you give to us.
Pakeha New Zealanders, it is time for a revolution.
Stop apologising for who you are.
Stop being afraid to say what is not happening for you.
Stop receiving care or being dressed in clothes you dont want to wear or are culturally inappropiate for you.
Stop allowing other people saying we are cultrally insenstive. We are not. We are very accommodating to all cultures so how about other cultures thinking about us and our needs.
A message to other ethnicities - Start thinking about what is culturally appropriate for your clients and be culturally sensitive towards them.
