> Racism: we has it. Ok, I'll bite… Yet all those affluent, successful Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysians, Koreans, Arabs, and Indians somehow get a free pass from the local racists? For racism to be the ONLY reason, the Pakeha (Europeans) would have to have somehow come together at some secret congress in the past and agreed to ONLY discriminate against the Maori (and Pacific Islanders) - and then secretly pass this pact down generations and induct new European immigrants into the pact. All the while intermarrying with the oppressed at an increasing rate and deifying them in All Black jerseys? How else do you explain that multiple groups of non-European folk find NZ (filled with racists according to you) to be a venerable paradise, yet the only community that is armed with 1) its own dedicated government department, 2. dedicated cabinet minister, 3. reserved parliament seats, 3. privileged access to land and sea resources, 4. its own courts, and 5. drowning in public funding cannot compete with the children of immigrant shopkeepers? It really is a primary school analysis. Or - unspeakable alternative b) - there are other reasons for the disparity other than clan members with a kiwi accent? But, that said, you are fortunate enough to be born in a time and place where simplistic, progressive analyses that accuse entire population groups of racist crimes are now considered acceptable in polite society - so go for it. Mate.
