Oscar Kightley: All praise the defenders of te reo

After being an official language in New Zealand for 30 years, how, asks Oscar Kightley, can te reo Maori still have its detractors? As long as the world is full of people where not everyone has the same colour skin and speaks the same language - and last check, that was the case - these people are going to exist. I've long ago stopped believing that everyone is nice and right on and understands what Martin Luther King was on about when he dreamed about a world where people were judged on the content of the their character, and not the colour of their skin.
