Surely this is it. Anyone who reads the entirety of that thread, or even a few posts by poor Steve, and yet still comes away believing the word "pakeha" is some kind of insult, is, to my mind, simply trying to be racist.
That seems like a bold statement to make, but truthfully, the debate is so inane that you could only hold onto the idea of it being an insult if that's what you truly wanted to believe.
