So what does your average Kiwi twentysomething look like?

Pasty white (red in summer) to light brown, tallish, range from dad bod to morbidly obese, crooked teeth, might be yellow from tea drinking. Might be ginger.

It varies through where you are and who is around, ofc, like on ANZAC day last month we were joking in one thread about the affluent suburb of Ponsonby, where everyone is sculpted into beauty or at least a special kind of ugly.

yeah ponsonby is definitely the special kind of ugly, think mums plastered in makeup and expensive dresses to try look good

Rail thin ladies with pinched, squinty, wrinkled faces and teenager fashion is another good average person.

But for real, I was only young when I was in Canada and the US but I didn't notice all that much difference in how people look, local factors make a bigger difference than the national ones.

Yeah, maoris, samoans, and to a slightly lesser extent tongans are all present in new zealand in big numbers and they'll bump up your obesity levels when you're going by BMI. They'll bench press a Buick and run like a freight train but BMI is not kind to them.

The day after I got out of basic training, I was in Taupo with my family going to hot pools and stuff. There was something weird about the place that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then as I saw the michelin man waddling down the road in sweatpants and jandals, I relized that I hadn't seen any fat people for two and a half months bar the occasional warrant officer with a pot belly.

If you go by these dumb woke awareness videos on social media, same with Europe. Everything is super loving efficient, renewable, sustainable, socially-equal, the kids are smarter, the teachers are all pedagogic sociology behavioral geniuses, parents get fourteen hundred days off after child birth and an all-expenses paid vacation to Fhloston loving Paradise because everyone's so loving woke.

I'm not sure I'm using it correctly in the context it's being used in today, but it basically describes social-equality/political/etc.- hipsterism. Like, people that aren't making sure to "keep themselves informed on the issues afflicting society today" (read: watch and share a bunch of dumb Facebook videos about progress and WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING) aren't woke.

I guess it's supposed to stem from "being woken up" to the truth or something.

My understanding of it is it's a word meaning "in tune with social issues" that was popularized in AAVE and then, surprise surprise, middle class white people on social media got a hold of it.

To be fair... A bunch of European countries are a Utopia compared to the majority of the US. And for many of those very reasons.
