The new school year seems to bring these stories out .
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12202304
Why can't these kids wait till they finished school. You see a lot of 18/19 year olds get all hairy and tatted after school has finished.
Way back in the 90's I played Under 13 Open weight reps for Counties. We played a few pre season games versus Weymouth Under 14's. Their biggest island boy had one of those Tatted arm bands.
Where’s the attention whoring opportunity in that?
That's the school trip to Japan gone then coz it will offend his liberty to have to cover them up there. Not like those all blacks who will cover their tats during the world cup because the organizers told them to. Fucken puppets of the nanny state
-
I think both sides of these types of issues (tatts, beards at school etc) need to take a step back and look at how they approach these things.
KIds and thier families - fuck you I wont do what you tell me
Schools - thems the rules, always been the rules, suck it up or leave -
Ok..what? Self described Asians are claiming the word Asian as a descriptor for them is 'incredibly racist service'..and it makes the front page of stuff.
If you think your own ethnic background "Asian" is a pejorative then I think it might be you with the problem not the restaurant.

They obviously must have boycotted this

People like that are the scum of the earth. She's trying to ruin a small business because... why exactly? To fulfill her own insatiable need to be the centre of attention all the time? We have a growing problem with narcissism in the west...
-
@No-Quarter been growing for a very long while, just need to check out the narcissists on Instagram...it's wonderful

"I definitely will never go there again."
I'm sure that suits everyone.

next we will have rangas moaning about Ginger beer!

I think it should be obvious now that if you want to kill someone and get away with it you hit them with a car and you’ll be unlucky to even get a slap on the wrist .

Total BS

@jegga yup our laws around driving are way, way too lax. Even if they're going 50% above the speed limit it always just gets treated as an "accident". Sorry, if you're speeding and you crash that isn't an accident, that's you willfully putting innocent people's lives at risk. It should be treated as such, with way harsher sentences. It's little wonder so many people die on the roads.
-
@No-Quarter our roads are shite, but it is driver behaviour that is the root cause, and largely Kiwi drivers, not foreign ones.
-
@No-Quarter Personally I reckon if you kill someone while drunk driving/drug driving/speeding, it should be an automatic manslaughter charge. And the driver should never be eligible for a license again. It's not a right.
-
@Mokey I always recall one that came over my desk several years back, the initial police report said the guy was doing between 110-125kmh...
Serious Crash Unit report concluded he was doing between 190-200kmh, was even on that SCU programme they had on for a while there...the implications of the differing speeds was monumental!
He lost his licence for 6 months for dangerous driving!

I can actually understand her logic. She just wants to be seen as everyone else in her native country and when some someone refers to her as "Asian" there can be whole shitload of loaded nuances that goes with that term.

Being of that ethnicity if it happened to me I might be annoyed, depends on how I was treated by the staff. Maybe I'd boycott the place if I felt that strongly (depends how good the food was....). Maybe I'd tell my mates. I don't think I'd go whingeing to the media about it though, seems like the response was disproportionately strong

That would be her own insecure interpretation though, not necessarily that of the new inexperienced and likely teenager server who now has a national front page news article branding them and their place of employment as racist.

Agreed - particularly if you have the suspicion that they're not putting "terrorists", "africans" etc. on everyone else's bill. There's just no need for it - number your tables.

@antipodean we had a 'webinar' a year or so back with an Aussie company, and the presenter described thier bearded Pakistani employee as 'whatever his name was The Terrorist'
Oh man, the faces of the people in our other branches was priceless, let alone one of the females in our office, whats more, is he said this twice in the 45 min presentation!
