COLUMN CALLING FOR MĀORI SERVITUDE FOR A DAY PULLED AFTER OUTRAGE (Sir Bob Jones)A column calling for a day in which Māori serve the British has been deleted from the National Business Review's (NBR) website. The Sir Bob Jones column argues that instead of a day in which Māoritanga comes to the centre, we should have a day in "appreciation" of the Brits. Why? Because Sir Bob believes there are "no full-blooded Māoris in existence", ergo, he argues, Māori should thank the British for their existence on Waitangi Day. "As there are no full-blooded Māoris in existence it indisputably follows that had it not been for migrants, mainly Brits, not a single Māori alive today, including Professor Temaru, would have existed," he wrote. "I have in mind a public holiday where Māori bring us breakfast in bed or weed our gardens, wash and polish our cars and so on, out of gratitude for existing." On Twitter, the column was called "incredibly racist" and "hate speech". Sir Bob was called a "fossil" and a "blatant white supremacist"...... www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2018/02/column-calling-for-maori-servitude-for-a-day-pulled-after-outrage.html
