PAKEHA

Etymology

Noun

pakeha (plural pakehas or pakeha)

(NZ) A non-Maori, especially a European New Zealander.

Usage notes

• Although widely used in politics and media, the use of "New Zealand European (Pakeha)" in the New Zealand 1996 census provoked a "significant adverse reaction" and the word Pakeha was subsequently removed. Many New Zealanders prefer New Zealand European (formal) or Kiwi (informal).
