what they said vs what they meant

 I had to read the story 'being kiwi' by lona mcnaughton

they said:afghan biscuit which mean black man

call new zealand home = call new zealand a second home

i understand how hard it must of been = you've been through the same stuff they have

ideas of culture and belonging weren't something she gave much thought to = she didn't care about her culture much

refugee = somebody sent to a new country

have a different take on their new home = doesn't settle in much

content to say they have two homes = there old and new home/town

now that first one was mean anywho i'm done now goodbye
