Just cause you went through that experience, doesnt mean you can label every NZsamoan fake, Aint our fault our parents moved countries, to make a better living, & dont act like the only time your family in samoa call is when they want your money.
UASSA still going strong, solid. Do they still do socials in the clubs? Those were good days, club duo or devo parties, allows to go cos it was a University thing, and not just a clubbing with whomever thing 😂 mum was alright w it, cos maybe I’d have got a girl that met her expectations. But I didn’t 🤷
Would love to hear more on the last Hot Take about NZ born Samoans and Afakasi needing to be humbled and are entitled, some of the points you made kind of went off the topic of what you were originally saying and I'd love to hear more of what you were meaning and some examples 😊
Kia ora kōrua, he uri nō Te Taikerau me Te Tairāwhiti. I’m responding to your statement about NZ-born Samoans and Afakasi, and I need to address the harmful generalization you've made. Labeling an entire group as "entitled" is not only problematic but perpetuates stereotypes and overlooks the complexities of identity. Your critique of your own people ignores the pressures of assimilation that Pasifika peoples, including NZ-born Samoans, face in New Zealand. The process of adapting to Pākehā norms often leads to cultural dilution and identity struggles, which you wrongly dismiss as "entitlement." There’s no research to back your claim, and without understanding these challenges, you're reinforcing the disconnect. Conversations about perceived entitlement must start with an acknowledgment of the colonial history and racial dynamics affecting all colonized peoples. Without research on the effects of forced assimilation, we risk perpetuating harmful stereotypes, further marginalizing these groups instead of supporting their cultural identity and autonomy.
I am a australian born new zealand raised samoan niuean fijian and i disagree with that hot take and everything you said is really irrelavent on the topic at hand i dont have to prove to anyone im samoan or fijian or niuean i feel like to fully solidify yourself as a samoan or any pacific culture in general is to know your rootsto learn and speak your native tounge not by giving all your money back to the islands i know alot of humble nz born islanders who can prove your whole take wrong so please make sure you fact check before you start talking a whole lot of rubbish
I just wanna know what ‘entitlements’ & ‘gifts’ Hana refers to about Samoans? Make it actually make sense. Speaking broadly about a subject & then not giving examples of how you are contributing to your family & villages is misleading. Making assumptions of your own people on a small poly platform that could have easily been used to uplift is so disappointing. Prime example of people who SHOULDN’T have a podcast.
