Not respected

If you offered to paint my house free, I don't doubt that I would accept your offer. But to respect your offer as that of a sane self-respecting man. is another proposition.

Does it give one a mild thrill of superiority or a feeling of big-daddy generosity to think that one, in one's vacation, by stooping to pat the head of some brown-skinned boy, can make the sun rise earlier and brighter for a people who are all too conscious of the cultural differences that are further emphasised in this completely one-sided scheme of patronising giving?

Is it not possible that these hypocritical Pacific excursions may well be in ultimate conflict with the proudly and loudly declared aims of NZUSA travel scheme?
