Default Re: How tolerant is NZ

Yeah, probably, after all I know all 4 million people who live here so Toxi should too!

I think NZ is, relatively speaking, a pretty good place for all races to get along. Things are getting worse but they're still nothing like the US or even Australia. Integration is possible if you let it happen. It breaks my heart to see increasing segregation - but it's the Maori driving it. And maybe it's a process they need to go through. Life is very different for everybody from when the English stepped in to stop the French from invading (as a women I can say that's a good thing) and bad things happened back then but in the context of the day they don't seem so extreme.
