| 655416 | 2008-04-02 09:22:00 | Once again another flawed poll. I probably would not got on with Pol Pot but I would think a number of people did like his Father and Mother maybe. Other people just maybe had to get on with him because they had no choice. en.wikipedia.org It is my choice who I tolerate or not as the case may be but I have never based that on race as such. So should I tolerate all humans regardless of their behaviour? Love your local murderer, rapist, wife beater, peadophile, theives and etc? Personally I think not but that is only my opinion. There are a number of cultural issues between races that need addressing in my view and the best way is probably to communicate in some way. |

| 655417 | 2008-04-02 09:23:00 | Asian!??? I'm not Asian!!! I'm a banana! Yellow Skin on the outside with a white culture on the inside! :D I'd like to give Motormouth Peters a hug and call him uncle. He's all talk and no action. As for asian women... need more Watch them at a restaurant sometime. They eat like a horse but don't put on weight :confused: Me on the other hand... I was born and raised in Sth Aucky. I'm fat as a cat and just as slothy at times :D (Must be all that fried chicken) What I find really funny is that one of my aunties who can't speak english got the chance in the early 90's / late 80's to get residency in NZ. She turned it down. Roll on 2008 and she's gonna marry a pakeha who can't speak chinese. |

I will also note that the Europeans didn't exactly assimilate into Maori culture on arrival, More likely exploited it and then discriminated against it. Sucks to be a hypocrite aye? |

| 655419 | 2008-04-02 09:47:00 | I have no problems dealing with Chinese people - that IS lucky ;) I see heaps of them at work, and a couple at home too. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 655420 | 2008-04-02 09:57:00 | Hmmm 4 people on the poll chose the "I find them intolerable" option. If you're one of them could you explain why? Maybe make another account to protect your original identity? Anyways I told my mum what I thought on this subject. She called me a traitor. Then I asked her how she would feel if China was overcrowded by New Zealanders. She shivered for a second and went silent. :D |

For an economy to sustain itself, it needs a population of about 6-7 million at least. Don't ask me how I get this figure. It's too long to explain. It's too long to explain that you just pulled it out of your arse? |

| 655424 | 2008-04-02 10:32:00 | "All generalisations are wrong . Including this one . " It is far too easy to generalise (and look! I'm going to do it now!) Individually, I find the Asian people I interact with very pleasant and friendly . But as a group they certainly "stick together" and do not integrate well . I'm disappointed that my local shopping centre is now overrun with chinese shops: veges, supermarkets, butchers, junk/crap . And in the last ten years, coincidentally with the increase in Chinese immigration to the area, the shopping centre as a whole has become run-down, dirty and smelly . I, as a European, born in NZ, am now in the minority when I visit that shopping centre . I don't enjoy shopping there any more (for the reasons stated above) and the next nearest local shopping centre is twice as far to go (and not much better) . . . :( |
