    Waititi is right. NZ is racist as fuck but not as racist as it was 20 years ago and NOWHERE near as racist as it was 40 years ago.

    No racism is acceptable but human nature being what it is we are never going to enjoy collective colour blindness. I've certainly been to a lot of places with more blatant and institutionalised racism than here.

    I think a lot of what is construed as racism is a result of the poverty trap rather than clear prejudice

    The most racist stuff I’ve seen in nz has been directed at Indians and people from Asia. People who I suspect would never utter a racist thing about Maori seem to feel comfortable saying awful things about the Chinese in NZ

    It's because they're new. Probably hard working and wealthy too, which pisses off some people.

    Which could apply to people from Newcastle for example. They might call it English, but it's clearly not the one I learnt and use.

    Ha! Calls out a whole country for racism - think about that for a minute. Also Calls out Aucklanders in general.

    Irony at its best.

    There's over a millions people in Auckland, how did he find the time to listen to every one of them be patronising to him?

    I have an alternate scenario, if the first person you meet tomorrow is an arsehole, chances are they are an arsehole, if everyone you meet is an arsehole chances are you're in fact the arsehole.

    Is lesbytarian a word for someone that neither sex wants to copulate with?

    I misread that as corpulent.

    I am assuming that this is a picture of the kids' dad.

    No mention of bacon, but whiskey and cigars are the secrets to a long life. I bet this man could tell some stories.

    Forgive the old fella though he just forgot to mention it with the whiskey and cigars.

    Where to begin on this one, @jegga some thoughts?

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12031524

    She’s 16, driving alone, speeding, no id, already has chest tattoos
    Yet the police have to apologise?

    @virgil ... and in her partner’s car. She’s 16 and has a partner. Still, photos of her tats was probably unnecessary. The cop should have just asked for her insty account and looked at the inevitable bathroom selfie.

    If the cops knew she had a birthmark that pretty creepy . If they knew.

    She sounds like a prime candidate for joining the “ partner severely beat toddler because it wouldn’t stop crying while he was playing Xbox/PlayStation “ club . Feral is as Feral does.
