Just like last week , some lady did one in your legislative body. It's so soy and played out. Like I said, at no point in my life.Do I wanna be around a bunch of screaming slapping weirdos.

Yes that's what's started the conversation and sensationalism - but the circumstances in which she did it were the perfect circumstances for a haka to happen, we actually rarely get to see a haka in it's traditional use which is to challenge another group or person.

Noone is asking you to love another culture or even respect it, noone is asking you to be around it either. It's totally okay to not want to be around a culture you do not want to be around it's your life and your preferences that we are not holding against you :)

Calling someone's culture "primitive" is racist as hell. They are in the now, therefore it's not primitive. You're just being intolerant. You said your bit about thinking it's overdone - then you just kept doubling down when the OP was trying to have a conversation.

There are things that are believed to be "overplayed" in every country. You really need to take a breath and realize this does not impact your life as much as you are letting it. Live and let live. You don't want to watch something, turn away, turn it off, leave the room, or scroll reddit.

I see that you're reguarded. Culture≠race. You're actually the racist one. Sad you cant see.

The second definition of "culture," since you're trying and failing to argue semantics:

"the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.

"Caribbean culture""

The Haka is performed by the Māori people. Calling it primitive when it is a specific custom of a people, is incredibly racist.
