I've lived in New Zealand my whole life and didn't notice some of these things needed celebrating. Was just normal here. I guess we take things for granted when we don't realise some things we have a better than others. It's nice to see the things we don't notice.

Sorry - not true, I’m in my sixties and l have known Americans living in NZ my entire life. Yes my mum worked at a University and most Americans we meet as kids worked there too. However just because your experience is different doesn’t make it true. An important part of our Maori war history which is ‘Always’ over looked are the American soldiers who came here to fight in NZ. The sad part is that they were recruited to come to NZ straight after the Civil war in America. I guess they were professional soldiers, but imagine sailing to a totally foreign country to fight a war you have absolutely no connection with.

In New Zealand you don't have to worry about wild animals so you don't need a gun to protect yourself when walking through the bush 😉

I agree! There’s a focus on common sense here that is refreshing. One of my favorite things I’ve gotten so much better about here is eating seasonally.

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Yes the world has bad people, but there is also a lot of good people too and most go through out their lives not caring who is white or otherwise, or who is privillaged and who is not.
