Some people are better than others because they are born closer. Let the others burn because as part of the ultra rich (almost all NZ people) I want to be richer and this seems to be the best way.

- harryh 9y agoYour hypothetical is a personal choice. The other one is about legally limiting the personal choices of other people. This is a bad comparison.
- ponyfleisch 9y agoso personal choices can't be racist? "foreigner" is not a race, and isolationist or protectionist policies are rarely based on perceived attributes of specific races.

- ponyfleisch 9y agoone would think so. it is so weird to me that this is called racist and xenophobic by so many people. collective delusion happens all over the spectrum.
- legostormtroopr 9y agoAt worst it is nationalism, not racism. And nationalism isn't always bad, a group protecting members of that group (say based on geography) to the exclusion of the out-group is just how groups function.

- aaron695 9y ago? Absolutely. It's bad for the economy and NZ society. But this is politics not rational thought.
- lostlogin 9y agoI guess we will see. New Zealand has gone from a comparatively equal society to one with a large divide in a relatively short time. Housing ownership is no longer possibly for many. This didnt seem right to a majority of voters.
