Scottish Advert insults NZ Maori IWI (tribes)

[jock leith]

THe KAPA HAKA is the challenge performed by the ALL BLACKS Rugby Team before every game.Scottish TV has made an Advert that has a group of people doing the HAKA to ask for jobs.Some IWI see this as an insult to their culture and sacred dance.
What do ORGERS think about what is acceptable fun,and what is deemed as insulting.Are some cultures getting to protective about how they are perceived by others.??????

Have I got this correctly, the Maori tribes are taking offense at an STV advert, but they do not take offense at the All Blacks who are a multi cultured bunch of sportsmen, doing their sacred ceremony, on rugby pitches, what is their problem?

The Maori do not mind others performing the HAKA, its the way that it is being performed.
