Did you think it was offensive?


I assumed it was, as with most things, offensive.

It's like calling an Australian an Aussie.

There's no negative connotation.

If you call an Aussie one it is probably offensive mind.

I mean, that raises a good reason on WHY they're called Kiwis. There's no good way to shorten "New Zealander"

I think with "New" in there it could be construed as a less specific term or possibly an insult.

It's already gotten here, and even they don't consider it offensive.

In fact, quite a few NZers got offended at the idea of not using it anymore when it was brought up once.
