Sound reason for avoiding Maori grievance.

1291201 2012-07-28 05:52:00 Thanks for the link Cicero - she makes some very good points! Erayd (23)
1291202 2012-07-28 05:55:00 Excellent, but I can't help feeling her arguments will be sidelined and belittled by those who see racists under every bed, round every corner and behind every tree. Wonder who I'm thinking of ? :) Terry Porritt (14)
1291203 2012-07-28 05:57:00 Yes, a good read there and many valid points, one being "To claim that there are two separate ‘peoples’ each with rights to ‘public’ resources under the control of separate political entities is the fundamental flaw in the iwi case. It deserves rebuttal. Despite the insistence on a primordial difference, Maori and non-Maori are not two distinctive peoples with that distinctiveness justifying separate political categories. Yet the iwi strategy of a separate people, aligned with the equally effective strategy of ‘partnership’, is powerful politics. "
