Oh No! NZ is Racist???

Well, the local rags may be horrified that someone's got the gall to suggest there's an element of racism in NZ, but in Ireland the papers are touting Bic Runga as the new Norah Jones.

That's an excellent achievement Ms Runga; I wish you all the very best in Europe.

Yea i knew NZ was racist. Way to state the obvious.

nz aint racist...

i agree - i mean compared to australia we outrank them. Also NZ was the first country in the world to give her indigenous persons the vote. and as Sir Apirata ngata quoted in 1940 "no other country than New Zealand has treated her indigenious people so well"

at least i dont think they are

While I'm here though, if you read the comment Bic made, it looked like the reporter asked about the differences between NZ and Ireland; likely with specific reference to internal political relations.

...and I like Bic Runga way more than I like Norah Jones.

Norah is sexier, though.

i just wrote something really random i dont really give a shit aye

norah vs bic?
it's like asking a man up to his neck in shit if he minds a bucket of vomit being thrown over him.

go you good thing

Well, I guess it wouldn't be nzm without someone registering their disapproval in the most graphic, revolting manner possible. Cheers guys.

If you're that deep in shit you might as well take the vomit. What harm could it do? You're that deep in shit that a lil vomit wouldnt hurt anyone.

yes i must say that even though i listen to a quality band such as Phoenix Foundation, i do own and also enjoy bic's music.
and yes like she mentioned there are some racist elements in this country.

i hate those fucking niggers, gooks and honkeys!!!

you're cruising for a bruising. (or maybe just a deleted comment)

How about THAT guy??!!

well if u ask me newzealand during the spring bok world tour ,had sum definite racist ppl(im doing the project 4 school)

im racist as they come, but its a half hearted racism, my maori mates dont seem to care.

I don't think thats a good thing to admitt

I'll say!

...its not like you've never made a racist comment before?

Being racist is giving a group a name. Calling someone racist is giving them a name also, which you will stereotype them into being bastards. Being racist and calling someone racist are just as bad as each other.

I could turn anything around... its great.

so typical of ex-pats, once they abandon there country they start criticising it - traitors.
