Default Re: Do you know what RACISM means?

I'll take a stab at this..

1. Inherent differences DO exist between races.

ie: Caucasians have less melanin in their skin than Polynesians, leading to the first group becoming sunburnt more easily than the second.

Polynesians are more succeptible to various forms of disease, such as Heart Disease/Attack and Obesity... the list goes on.

2. For many years now, the NZ Labour Party has pandered to the Maori, giving Handouts and Scholarships and lower Entry Criteria to university courses, Free Land (Treaty Claims anyone? Land that was basic and un-improved upon in 1880 is given back in the 21st century, complete with Development and Improvement.), free this, subsidised that... the list goes on and on and on.

Hmm.. seems almost like.. the Government is favouring one race over another, giving things to people who are Maori, and not giving them to those who are not. What do we call that class?

"Racism, Mr Kall!"

That's Right!

"That sucks!!"

I agree. So, there you have it. My opinion of Racism.

(Oh, it also sucks when people can MURDER their children and get off without Jail time, simply because their Whanau can gather around them in a cone of silence. "The Maori Way", I have heard it called.)
