Look, I agree that the union jack is a poor representation of NZ, and that it should probably be changed, and that it's unfair to represent a colonial legacy and little else, including Maori culture. But the analogy to the Third Reich just doesn't work. Some countries didn't hesitate to throw off British imperialism - but the white majority of Canada, Australia, NZ and other Commonwealth countries valued their British identity. That never occurred under Nazism, because German colonists never really existed, and certainly never formed a majority. Including the union jack on the NZ flag is bad, but it's utterly incomparable to including the swastika flag on the French Tricolore. |
