Peter Hemmingson: MAORI SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE
If most New Zealanders with a Māori ancestor are doing just fine, the problem with those who fail to launch cannot be attributed to 'institutional racism' or to 'a legacy of colonisation,' but a lack of personal responsibility for one's life outcomes.
Putting in at school is seen by part-Maori losers at the margin as 'acting white.' It is rapidly discouraged by group harassment and physical bullying.
The 'crab bucket' mentality write large.
When one crab tries to climb out of the bucket, the other crabs gang up to pull it back down again.
Seen it many times growing up.
People are typically poor not because of what someone has done to them, but because of what they haven't done for themselves......
