They are doing this as adults, it's not like a situation like "they did it as a kid so we remove you from a party 20 years later"

I suggested to my work colleagues (who were saying how racist white New Zealanders were) that perhaps it's time to abolish the Maori All Blacks given the only people allowed to play for the Maori All Blacks are Maori. Apparently that's different... apparently.

He sounds very ignorant, a lot of the things he says just sound like monologues and repetitions from values I've heard a lot from certain communities and people are mystifying him with BS, its just annoying that a race relations minister who should be completely unbiased and take the views of all NZers does not understand his role, he doesn't understand the country and the people he is living amongst and doesn't take it seriously and apparently whoever hired him doesn't take his job seriously either. So I would think this is a job that is a total waste of NZers money if this is how our money is being used. We'd be better off creating an app in which we all manage the country and just vote for whatever we needed and contributed money to it lol 😆

Race based sports teams, race based funding, race based politics, talk of "dual" governance, determined by race. Yet question the neo-Maori advocate on these forms of apartheid and you'll be called racist. We are in NZ without doubt the most racist country in the world and it's time to acknowledge it.

as Lauren Southern seems happy to state "don't let the facts hurt your feelings" #WokestersActingAllWoke #KarmaGoesBothWays

It’s not a racist statement that genetics make some groups better at certain activities, most Polynesians are better at physical activity as shown in our contact sports. But the Maori Party should be very careful opening this discussion. There’s genetic variation that determines IQ and testosterone, with research repeated around the world that shows the increase in testosterone obviously increases levels of violence. These genetic markers are based in the Neanderthal genes and/or the lack of. The Denisovan ancestors which is Chinese/Asian shows a 5 point increase in intelligence from Neanderthals which is the European ancestor. We can drive by any NZ school and see who wins the educational awards and they aren’t called John Smith. The African genes show a 5 point decrease from Europeans genes.

This is not a competition we want to enter into because there is so much overlap in say, IQ statistics, and there is intermarriage and there are cultural factors.

You're brave to even mention this in this day and age. Almost no-one seems to be capable of discussing genetics and IQ without their heads exploding. You'll see every counterargument falling into the "equity of the gaps." That is, differences in IQ MUST be down to other factors, poverty, health, historical inequities of every conceivable type, etc. I haven't read it but I'm interested in the theory of class-based hereditary genetics as opposed to simply race, something Charles Murray wrote about but rarely gets discussed, and might draw peoples' attention away from race for just a brief moment, which by god I'd be grateful for.

Inequities of sporting allocation of funding is a problem now. What a clown, can anyone remember back to the "Halt all racist tours" Spring Bok tour. People were out on mass to protest politics in sport, that there were no Black Africans in the Spring Boks. Now it seems it's racist if different ethnicities don't have their own sports funding. The Maori All Blacks have their own team and you can only play if you have Maori Whakapapa and this is not racist? Can you imagine the outcry if there was a European All Black team, sorry Hone Whites only bro, no hard feelings. Seems like its only racist if its done by Whitey. The irony being a large proportion of Maori have European ancestry as well and could compete in that this team as well making a mockery of the race card anyway. All sports teams should be selected on ability, pure and simple, irrespective of their ethnicity. I couldn't care less if after selection the whole team was Maori and Pacifica people, I'd support them because they are our best. Maybe Meng Foon should be accusing the NZRB of racism because there are not enough Asians, Little People in the team, where's the Trans representation? There's only one ethnicity bringing race into sport and that's a few Race Hustling Maori and White guilters.

Everyone knows that racism can only operate in one direction, surely.

I am currently hunting for this "DNA" statement from the Maori party, does anyone have a link?

I didn’t think he had balls .

Menu Foon Translation ……basically because I’m painted into a corner, I’ll reluctantly say this was a racist statement.

I don't get paid, but I can call anyone out ... Meng do your job in full or step aside!

There has always been a section of Maori who have been Activists not the majority

Is Meng Foon moonlighting in the Disinformation Project???

The reality is that everyone is racist....the biggest "dimwit" is someone who claims they are not. I think the role of government is not to institutionalise it .

Meng stop being part of the problem, you are adding to the agitation of divisive race-relations..driven predominantly by the Maori Party

I've only just found this fantastic platform, so am a bit late to be commenting on this aricle - curious, though, as of late feb 2023, whether there was any favourable outcome or, if not, what follow up occurred/is occurring ...

Māori are privileged. They can do what they like, and if that means being racist then they can do that too. There is no fairness over race issues when it comes to the Māori Party. They have their entitlements and their ingratitude. These are what define the worth of the Māori Party.

Who cares what he thinks... Go back home 🤣

Meng looks like Garth,in Wayne's World where his head is about to explode/implode,because lights on nobody home, he's in a state of panic,cos he's got no idea what to do, possibly about to soil himself,if Sean asks him any more probing questions.? Aren't you glad,it's a freeze frame,should Meng make a decision?or is that a bridge too far.?
