433479 2006-02-25 05:23:00 I agree - turn this into a poll. I'm proud to be a Kiwi and very often put 'New Zealander' on survey forms etc. Although I am known to use 'Celtic' when in a contrary mood.....

433480 2006-02-25 06:27:00 The census is designed to find out how the country is made up, not to state the obvious. It makes no sense to put down "New Zealander" because it doesn't tell them anything what-so-ever, they already know that.

Agreed. The form should have Caucasian as an option rather than European.

433481 2006-02-25 06:36:00 Ah this is silly - it is asking for your ethnicity.

How about you check the option "white fella"?

NZ born of European Decent is certainly the BEST answer, even if you have an issue with the terminology. It is a bit wierd that they have Australian without specifying an whether you are aboriginal etc.

Heh, put whatever you like but in the end all you achieve is annoying some statisticians.

Oh yeah, and last time, I looked England is part of the European continent :)

433486 2006-02-25 17:20:00 I'm a mixture of German, Polish,English and Irish descent. But all four grandfathers were NZ born.
Guess that makes me the same as most other NZers.
So why not just ask: NZer of European descent or NZer of Polynesian descent?
Seems to me they are doing their best to keep NZers and Maoris separate.
