they 'don't look Māori'
A senior lecturer at Massey University has apologised for telling two Māori students they “don’t look Māori”.
Dr Chris Galloway, who teaches public relations at the university’s Albany campus, made the comment towards students Mikaela Matenga and Caleb Monk, who were representing Te Waka ō Ngā Ākonga Māori (Māori Students Association) stall at Clubs Day on July 20.
Matenga (Te Arawa, Rongowhakaata, Ngāti Tuhourangi), who is the president of the association, said Galloway told the pair: “I hope this isn’t offensive, but you guys don’t look Māori at all”.
