That’s literally just racial discrimination
“It was very intimidating, a woman of color wasn’t being quiet while the white men were talking”
There were MPs of both genders in the haka…
Freedom of expression. But don’t dance or nothing

Isn’t the point of a haka to be intimidating?

In general, no. Historically and in the vast majority of cases it is done as a show of respect, to honor someone or something. It’s done for anything from dignitaries visiting to funerals. For example, Viggo Mortensen was very close with the stunt team on Lord of the Rings, and they performed one for him after he filmed his last scene.
The Ka Mate haka(which is the one they did), was popularized by the New Zealand national rugby team. And, is from what I remember a retelling of a story. Honoring someone who won by outwitting his enemies. It’s was never originally intended to be intimidating in terms of the vocalization and movement.

Given the current context though, I suppose it’s definitely not meant respectfully?
