New Zealand Culture
The New Zealander has respect and knowledge about their past.
They feel that they have Maori blood, and they are proud of that. In some way, it's not like Chile where we are progeny of the Mapuches, but sometimes we refuse and make racism on them.
Even more, everywhere you go you find things written on English and Maori. For example in the TePapa Museum, all the explanations that they have are in both languages. Also you can appreciate Maori's architecture inside their most importants buildings, such as the Governor's House
The Governor is the one who represents the British Queen in New Zealand, and in fact actually he is Maori.
Do we have Mapuches leaders in the government of Chile? Unfortunately the answer is no.
Is this attitude the one who makes New Zealanders tolerant in front all the others cultures that travel to the islands. For them see some black or asian people is normal. In Chile we look them in a strange way.
In other words they are empathetic with people who cames from other countries.
They accept what is different compare for what is common for them. Is thing is what in Chile doesn't happen.
