Pakeha

== English == === Alternative forms === pakeha === Etymology === Borrowed from Māori pākehā (“stranger”). === Pronunciation === (New Zealand) IPA(key): /ˈpaːkehaː/, /ˈpaːkəhaː/ (New Zealand, archaic) IPA(key): /ˈpaːkɪə/ === Proper noun === Pakeha (New Zealand) A non-Maori, especially a European New Zealander. [from 19th c.] ==== Usage notes ==== "Pakeha" is capitalised when referring to ethnic Europeans specifically. Some New Zealanders prefer New Zealand European (formal) or Kiwi (informal). Although "Pakeha" is widely used in politics and media, the use of "New Zealand European (Pakeha)" in the New Zealand 1996 census provoked a "significant adverse reaction" and the word "Pakeha" was subsequently removed. In New Zealand English, macrons are often used to reflect the word's Maori origin. ==== Coordinate terms ==== see also Thesaurus:white person ==== Derived terms ==== Pakeha Maori === References === https://web.archive.org/web/20090704143742/http://www.stats.govt.nz/NR/rdonlyres/213CBD4E-56C4-4419-85FC-5A1C010B7859/41187/DraftReportofaReviewoftheOfficialEthnicityStatisti.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20170518035244/https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about/news-events-and-notices/news/news-2013/2013/02/05/Research-busts-myth-that-Pkeh-is-a-derogatory-term.html
