Money doesn't make you smart, it's just what you earn off your chosen field.

I know a fella deals in gold for a job,,,,,only enough for a living but he could be wealthy as shit but chooses to spend his spare time riding a bike. Like 4 days a week on tour somewhere. Now tell me who is smart?

Strokes for folks.

Obviously Henry could do the same as your mate - and vice-versa.

Whatever they want to do I guess....

Me?

I would make $$$$ then stop work completely.

It's funny, if you are white, or look white and say something impartial of the darker complexed peoples it's perceived as racist and a big song and dance is made. But if its the other way around.......... nothing ever comes of it.

How is we have people like Hone Harawira in politics when he spouts much much worse, but plays the Maori card and gets away with it.

This country has clear double standards, what really is freedom of speech? people should be able to say what they want.

I don't care what race or religion people are, and I can laugh at my own mixed pot make up. People just simply need to stop throwing stones and get over it. Like it or not, humans are not full bred races anyway, they all came from a pair at some point.

Implying that the GG isn't a real New Zealander is impartial?

Making infantile scatological jokes about the name of a Minister of a foreign government is impartial?

Golly - I must get out more....

What makes you think he got away with it? He was certainly in trouble with his own party. Furthermore many people reacted with disgust which reflected badly on the Maori Party which needs all the political goodwill it can get. Finally, Hone Harawira alienated people and lost what little credibility he had among the wider public.

He won't care, and neither will Paul Henry or Michael Laws (whom I note has now apologised despite saying he wouldn't).

I don't think he ever said the GG was not a real New Zealander. What he said was, he doesn't look like one.

Thats interesting, because I think we all have a view of what someone might look like. There will be people who do not fit my view, but actually, I thinks its formed from factual experience.

I think the world is like that, and if you had given people in other countries the chance to pick which country our GG was the head of, I bet NZ would not have been the first choice. Or even the 10th.

So anyone who says that Paul Henry was being offensive by pointing out that the GG looked Asian, is wrong. This IMHO is the majority of the criticism levelled at him.

They are however right, if they condemn him for suggesting that the next GG would be better qualified by not looking asian.

I see it the same as the comments about Ms Dikshit. It is, absolutely a terrible name, to be forever ranked with Ce'unt, Grubb, Longbottom, Gay and various other names, for which meaning has morphed.

Here again PH generally did something that actually , my old school teacher Mr Longbottom will remember 3000 students doing - making fun of the name in an infantile manner.

Later comments he made about Dikshit being Indian leave me lost - I cant see any relevance.

I cant see the racial insult. If the GG looks asian, how is that a racial slur ? As he does, and thats a fact not abuse or insult. Indeed our forum has a thread devoted to asians and its very popular.

Same as "Dikshit is obviously Indian"

How is that any more of an insult or racial slur than saying Harawera is obviously Maori, Reid is obviously Scottish and Fritz is obviously German. As even if not correct, being of any particular race is not an insult, unless you have made it so.

**Woodman** · 11th October 2010, 20:18

I'm sorry but dikshit is a funny name. Sounds like Dipshit or Dick and shit.

My name might sound funny to an Indian and that is fine with me. I would laugh along with him.

Some people really need to lighten up.

He still pulled out the race card, and it worked. Even John Key didn't have the balls to question him when asked about it in the media.

The "monkey" is a bog-irish marxist mick called Joe Carolan.

You would have have to have pretty weak mouth muscles to miss say "Dixit" - thats Dix - it......and make is sound like Dick shit.......

Fact of the matter, he purposely went out of his way to twist the name. Its not a race thing - its a personal thing.

How would you like it if someone on india TV mocked you name? Wrong place for these types of things. Keep in the school grounds with the other 7 year olds.
