The New Zealand Parliament has voted to impose record suspensions on three lawmakers who did a Maori haka as a protest. The incident took place last November during a debate on a law on Indigenous rights.
New Zealand’s parliament on Thursday agreed to lengthy suspensions for three lawmakers who disrupted the reading of a controversial bill last year by performing a haka, a traditional Maori dance.
Two parliamentarians — Te Pati Maori co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi — were suspended for 21 days and one — Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, from the same party — for seven days.
Before now, the longest suspension of a parliamentarian in New Zealand was three days.
…animal noises?

How disgustingly pitiful a position, to be so categorically incapable of understanding cultures other than your own, that you can only imagine comparing them to animals. How outdated you must feel. I suppose we should expect nothing less from someone with such a cringe-inducing self-concept that they literally call themselves a ‘warrior of kek’. I gag in sorrow at your impotence and turpitude. Perhaps it would be better if you stopped your own ‘mooing’, you sad, lost child.

Sorry bud, comparing the haka to animal noises is not “tone”, so fuck off with the disingenuous bullshit.
