Same in England, when the reality is most of us can trace our heritage back 1000 years. By contrast the Maori only go back 600 years. Indigenous just means not white at this point.

Ugh. Yeah more or less.
As we go along, it's all becoming even more nonsensical, as an increasing portion of the Euro-indigenous aren't white, or at least, completely white. I'm not sure what their rhetorical Plan B is.
Guess that's where "white adjacent" comes in. When in doubt, just make shit up.
