RID THIS COUNTRY OF RACISM
I find the most frustrating thing about the racist seats is the tactic of Maori claiming they need them.
Most people are generous and flippantly say oh let the Maori have their seats.
However the issue is not one of condescension it goes much deeper.
There is a whole industry built on this racism and it is fundamentally wrong. If a business can not stand on its own without govt propping it needs to shut down.
Maori culture will survive without the seats. It is alive and well in Australia with no handouts.
The problem with privileges by race is they say you are either superior or inferior. I certainly believe most Maori don't feel inferior and that's what annoys me the most. Though all people are different fundamentally we are all the same in many ways striving to better ourselves. Some people however when getting a knock back will look for others to blame instead of getting back on the bike.
Life is full of ups and downs I have been to the brink of bankruptcy and blame nobody but my own stupidity. Been long term unemployed too stuck in the trap. It's taken years to recover but with strength of will I am on my way. Can't say it was White Privilege either as a lot of my clients along the way have been none white including Maori.
The purpose of this rant is to explain my desire to rid this country of racism you see reverse racism is still just racism. Two wrongs do not a right make.
