This form of racism has found its way into sports in new zealand, I belong to a sports club that asks you what racial group you belong to in its annual membership form. Because there is extra funding that filtered down from the government for anyone that says they have maori heritage.

When ever I am asked to put down my race in any official form I always put myself down as subhuman just as a little reminder about last time it mattered what race you belong to.

As a retired public servant I recall being required to attend ToW classes where we were instructed to regard the Treaty as a partnership.(Notwithstanding the absence of any words to that effect in the Treaty). Any job one applied for required applicants to repeat the mantra and people were selected on how they demonstrated they would implement it in their workplace. Little wonder partnership is endemic in the public service.

Our govt and our media, are the only ones I really see, stoking the flames of racial division. Pretty much everyone else I come across, in real life, seem to have no issues getting along with, the wide range of different cultures represented here. How about our govt and media do right by our people, and give up trying to subvert us, using race. I’m not even sure there’s any good reason, that the govt needs to break down all their statistics by ethnicity. Of course different groups have different rates of this and that, when you group them separately, they always will!!!! If everyone were in the same group, New Zealanders, there’d be no more racial disparities in statistics. But they want there to be. So that they can treat us distantly based on race, to “fix racial disparities”. Racism doesn’t actually fix racial tensions. Being united under the law does. Everyone having the same rights and access to services, does. The only people who really do need to classify us by race, for a good reason, are the police. Andm only because it’s important that they have enough specifics, to accurately identify suspects
