If we pooled all the unused fireworks and dug a tunnel ... oh wait, hasn't this been tried? :D

You cant legalise away discrimination. I prefer to hire WASPS cant see how the Greens know I discriminate. They haven't got thought police thing up and running yet.

Yes that is just what we need to get NZ out of the **** and moving forward - eliminating unreasonable discrimination.
Can I have some sandals with that ?

That must be an example of reasonable discrimination, after all (according to the nut jobs) Its only racist when its a white person doing it.

If you want an example of discrimination against white people, you should probably try to find something that actually, you know,discriminates against white people. This would appear to benefit Maori, rather than discriminate against whites. There is a difference.


And Metla, racism is generally power + prejudice; that meaning, only the dominant race is racist - their discriminatory behaviour has a major and negative impact on the minority/subordinate group. In reverse, it's discrimination, but not racism, since the power imbalance means that the major and negative impact is felt as an individual rather than a societal level.

don't think I don't notice that by using the word "nutjob", you namecall anyone who might call you out on racism. Fortunately, I'm comfortable that I'm not a nutjob. And I'm closing this thread down.
