2) Other European IMHO doesn't apply - to me that means Mediterranean/Baltic/Slavic/Balkan or such
Care to explain this?
I think it's because in my mind (only as a relatively recent blow-in to NZ) that Pakeha means those white NZr's of Anglo-Celtic descent. I've never heard Greeks, Italians, Yugos etc being referred to as Pakeha - they're usually described as Greek, or Italian, or Croatian (or Dutch, Swedish etc etc etc)
So, as a Scot (for arguments sake of Celtic ethnicity) - Pakeha of European Descent I dont think applies to me - as that to me infers someone that is of European descent that was born and bred in NZ, and Other European doesn't apply to me because I think (imo) that that applies to non Anglo-Celtic Europeans
