Why is african people black?

The color of a person's skin is determined by the amount of melanin in their skin cells. People of African descent have higher levels of melanin, which gives their skin a darker color. This is an adaptation to protect against harmful UV radiation from the sun in regions with intense sunlight and is not specific to all African people. It is important to note that not all individuals of African descent have dark skin, as there is a wide range of skin tones within the African population.

What is the meaning of pakeha?

Non-Maori. The Maori term 'Pakeha' was originally used to mean European or a New Zealander of European descent. It is used to describe anyone or anything that is not Maori. Contrary to popular (media) belief the world "Pakeha" means fear skinned. The world Pakeha is a derivative of the maori word Pakehakeha. In maori myth in legend we had the equivalent of the fey/fairy folk whom where either called Patupairehe or Pakehakeha, they were said to be fair of skin with red or light hair. this is what eventually our European settlers were coined with! Pakeha short for Pakehakeha.


What does the word Morena mean?

Morena is a spanish word used to describe Latinas who are tanned/dark (i.e., dark hair-brunette, dark eyes, dark skin). It also means "Morning" in the native language of the New Zealand indigenous people, the Maori. I have triple checked my answer after consulting my Maori experts (thanks LT!). Conversational e.g. "Morena James" translates to "Good Morning James".
