But sure, it can be as you stated, suppression and racism.
Yeah, i mean, what if the entirety of the UK had to have everything bilingual. Thats kinda what i was saying about practicality, it doesnt make sense to spend the resources to push the language on areas and people who have no knowledge or interest in learning it.
But, im not afraid of speaking my mind, and im not afraid to be wrong either. I dont know a lot about the situation in NZ but i know that its difficult tho. If the situation is as i suspect then i think the resources is better spent in the areas that makes sense.
