    Interesting, however the majority of NZer's know there's no anti maori sentiment no matter what vids like this one would wish to purport. Susan mentions a balance of NZ history to be taught in the schools etc, that's on the coalition agenda thank goodness.

    All the race relation comissioners were hand picked for their wokeness and ease of being lead by the nose. Possibly the money was good as well but Maori claim they are not making progress so what has been the point??

    Not sure what “lead by the nose” means but I think wokeness is a sensitivity to social injustice and discrimination which would be a quality for a race relations commission?

    Race and ethnicity are social constructs that should be put in the dustbin of history. Race and ethnicity aren't scientific categories. It is about classifying and stereotyping people often for nefarious reasons. How can there be a "race relations commissioner" when biologically race doesn't exist? It is one of the horrid leftovers from the eugenics movement.

    Because people and institutions have historically treated others differently based on these categories. If they didn't, there'd be no need for a race relations commissioner

    If those things didn't affect the people of today then maybe we could throw it out. But turns out. Racial constructs were used to divide and conquer alot of the world. To fix it. We gotta face it head on first and acknowledge it. Then repair.
