Oh god, people. Before you complain about BYU appropriating a culture that isn't theirs, will you please actually LOOK up their haka's origins? They started doing it because their one Maori player REQUESTED it to honor his deceased father. Who was the son of the Ngati Porou iwi chief.

Seems to check out:

quote:

Mahuika said he was honoured to share his culture with American fans and overwhelmed by their response.

"The crowd went crazy. I had people coming up to me asking why we had not done it before."

The news was welcomed by his grand-uncle Api Mahuika, chairman of the East Coast iwi Ngati Porou.

"It is a great opportunity for him to learn and share his culture."

Speaking from his home in Utah, Bryce Mahuika said the haka was inspired by his father, Michael, who despite leaving New Zealand for America in the 1970s remained proud of his homeland and culture.

"My dad passed away a couple of months ago. He taught us [six children] the haka and our culture."

When his father died, he, his brother and other whanau performed a haka at the graveside, which rekindled his appreciation for his heritage.

When the football squad's coach asked for ideas on strengthening team motivation, Mahuika suggested the haka. "The coach was all for it."

Mahuika's mother Nancy said her late husband would have been proud.

Mahuika said he was confident the haka would become a tradition for Brigham Young University.

I knew a Maori guy through rugby who used to get massively pissed over the misuse of the Haka and frequently exchanged harsh words with people when they asked him to do it as a party piece.

Why do people want Bernie to actually win? Imo he'd be better staying in Congress to do things or at least give good filibusters

they want him to win because they think the president has dictatorial powers and obama just refused to use them (also probably only bush and obama are the only presidents they can actively remember).

Because America is full of individuals who refuse to think things through.

I want Sanders to run and win as much as he can (which I am quite sure is neither the nomination nor the Presidency, but hopefully a meaningful amount of votes) because I want Clinton to be forced to deal with a campaign that is leftwards of her, and because, in the US system, the President is the only office elected on a national level, so that is the scale in which to raise discourse of national importance.

That isn't a substitute for work on the district and State level, where legislators get elected, obviously. That being said, it's not unlikely that many people pushing for him do think that the President has powers far beyond what our system actually allows for.

Obviously he felt that he hadn't managed to cover enough racial and cultural stereotypes with the original trilogy, so he was trying to make up for it.

Also, are you going to watch the original trilogy, or are you stopping after Return of the poo poo?
