The racial slur of the day is Pakeha.

It is used to refer to New Zealanders.

Deep lore: White New Zealanders. Not generally seen as derogatory. The word derives from 'pakepakeha'...mythical fair-skinned human-like creatures and now means any New Zealander with predominantly European ancestry. Was referenced in the news recently when some white Kiwis tried to get it changed on their census forms because it was racist - "Pakeha" translates to "White pig", a reference both to what the Maoris thought of the first English settlers, and the way the same settlers tasted when eaten - salty, like the wild pigs they also ate.
