@Virgil that article didn't really say a hell of a lot in the end. The segregation in Auckland is based on wealth rather than race - like any major city really. Some groups, like Pacific Islanders, are over represented in the poorer communities which leads to it looking like racial segregation, but it is really a symptom of an underlying issue.
My better half's experience in Auckland after coming from a small town in NZ is that racism is basically non-existent up here.

I'd really like to think that study over exaggerates the situation. They refer to 'neighborhoods' with no explanation of what they count as one. If they are using density (eg 500 people make a neighbourhood) then obviously the denser lower socio economic areas will make up a lot of these.
I grew up in South Auckland and back then you could have said the same things as this study. There were the 'Remuera' types and the 'Otara' types that really didn't cross over but alongside that were places like Manurewa that (at the time) had a complete mix of housing and income levels and cultures with the majority of kids and families mixing together at school or the shops. Roger Douglas lived over our back fence and families were just as likely to be business owners with flash houses and swimming pools as they were factory workers or beneficiaries in State Houses
I know some of those places have changed but then others have developed. Howick gets a rap as being an Asian community but it is actually quite mixed with various cultures living side by side.
Anyway, it isn't to do with where you live, it's whether you treat people equally and I still think NZ is very good in that regard. -

Read the article, Papatuanuku Nahis comments make Susan Devoy look like a fun person to get on the piss with.

Firms like that are a result of the bullshit degrees that get handed out a universities these days. People that leave Uni with things like Gender Studies degrees have to create work for themselves somehow.

@No-Quarter Sad but true. At college when Ms Cato No1 had flunked her course and was considering a different "journey". Her tutor advised me to avoid anything that had the word "studies" in it as it was felt that they were invariably doss courses.
Apologies to anyone out there that might get triggered by this assertion.

Ha! That's why I don't even have a degree. I started on one that would have ended up being called 'Social Sciences' and I couldn't see how on earth that was going to help me more than actually going into the world and doing things. so I quit.

It pisses me off that I live in a world where this is considered a viable career.
It pisses me off even more that someone actually pays someone to do this. Again, the energy drink company apologised for any perceived slight but that still isn't enough for those whinging fluffybunnies.

The only thing that pisses me off is I don't have a slice of that action, talk about money for jam . All you have to do is keep an eye on product launches and celebs idiot utterances quietly notify anyone who might be outraged and offer whoever fucked up your services smoothing things over . I offered to do the same thing in reverse with Mokeys books ( set up a Christian group, announce they are scandalous and full of sex. Loads of free publicity in the press when I call for them to be banned) sadly she's yet to take me up on it.

I'm fucked if I know, apparently it's acceptable to mock the way he looks but film a video with an Irish theme to it and you're the fluffybunny in this situation. Or it could be an elaborate piss take that went over my head

This notion of cultural appropriation is bat shit crazy. It's insane that so-called educated people would even acknowledge it.
There was some arseclown a while back at the black something or other awards wanking on about cultural appropriation. That fact he was doing so while wearing a suit a speaking in English obviously went right over his demented head. Apparently white rappers are only permitted to rap if they have a "ghetto pass", whatever the fuck that is.
Can you imagine the furore if kids with Somali or Pakistani backgrounds in Norway weren't allowed to wear the Viking horns because they weren't the correct culture? Or Indians weren't allowed to play cricket because they were stealing an English game? Do you think that Bavarians give a shit about the worldwide appropriation of Oktoberfest?
As I said. Bat shit fucking insane.

Yup, if anyone mentions the term "cultural appropriation" to me in a serious manner my respect for them falls through the floor. Just about the dumbest term the SJWs have come up with, and that's saying something because they've come out with some fucking retarded shit the last couple of years.
