Any Hexbears from Aotearoa here? If so, is it okay for white people to wear pounamu/greenstone? (hexbear.net)

I grew up in NZ and have a pounamu/greenstone toki I inherited from my parents.

I miss New Zealand dearly and want to wear it, but I feel that as a white person whose great grandparents came to new Zealand from Ireland, it would be cultural appropriation?

I'm unsure and haven't lived in New Zealand for over a decade, so I don't know the stance on crackers wearing Maori symbols.

Calling her British

Well I already do that. I'm sure you guys eat gross food with goofy ass names like "figgy waffle taddles" too.

Yes, perfect. Ask her to say "Fish and Chips" too

What do they call it "floppy wops and crispy wiffles" or something else that sounds totally made up?

Australians make fun of the way we say it. They think it sounds like fush and chups when we say it.

Shit, why am I giving you ammo against me. I have a kiwi accent still
