Wow, it's 1970 all over again.
I just found out during the week that my proposal for doing alterations to a South Auckland Primary School has been rejected.... not on the basis of my proposal or my fees but because of the fact I don't have my staff made out of 1/4 Maori. The fact that I'm self-employed and don't employ any staff is irrelevant.

Plain racism.
No defending that. These sort of divisive racist policies do Maori more harm than good.
And our lefties canāt understand why Trump, the far right and Hobsons Pledge are growing. These indefensible racist policies are driving people there
The point is it was set up based on race, which I have no problem with, but letās not kid ourselves and believe tpm and the radicals and say MÄori donāt get special treatment because that simply isnāt true.

Just out of interest why don't you do one of those Ancestry.com DNA tests to clarify if you have NZ Maori ancestry or not. (assuming they're accurate)MaybeTop8 reflecting on on your racist govt claims.
My grandparent was adopted and possibly Maori.
How can dividing us by race have any importance if I canāt identify if Iām Maori or not? Do I need all the extra help or not?

The definition of racism is āprejudice on the basis of race by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group.ā
A decision to award a contract on the basis of racial membership rather than any other criteria is a racist decision according to the definition. It is racist.

Yeah so do I, affirmative action policies have some merit for historically marginalised groups but they're a minefield of resentment once we've passed the point of redressing past wrongs. I have no fixed opinion on it now, have we achieved all the equality we're going to get, or gone too far and the disadvantaged have become the privileged, who knows where that point is.One day I will. My background is very multi ethnic but i just see myself as a kiwi.

That line is also used by racists to squash affirmative action and indigenous rights policies, so I can see why he might react negatively from his POV. Not saying that's your thinking.Such wise wordsā¦

There are thousands of scholarships to apply for mate, from coming from rural communities, LGBTQI, international students, the first in your family to attend Uni or just because you face financial hardship. Why is it that MÄori scholarships are the only ones you have a problem with?My child would be able to get these $1,000s in scholarships but because we canāt identify if we are Maori or notā¦
Did you apply for your share of the $85m that my kids, as normal middle class kids donāt meet any criteria?

Honestly, I have a problem with them all. Why should anyone get assistance when others donāt? These sort of things arenāt based on need or ability.
My daughter has been tossing up not doing university due to cost and she doesnāt meet the criteria for any scholarships so itās just front of mind.
Even worse some kids are eligible for student allowances but apparently I earn too much so sheās looking at a significantly higher debt that others. Again I think thatās pretty unfair and is affecting her decision.

The majority literally are based on need or ability, requiring NCEA marks, University marks or financial evidence to apply for? How are you coming to that conclusion?

He's pissed off that he earns too much for his kids to qualify for a grant while the offsprings of layabouts on minimum wage get all the handouts. That's why he votes ACT to straighten out this whole mess. -Don Brashwah.
