No they didn't .. (I thought he was hilarious) .. I know lots of people who were pissed off at him .. claimed he was perpetrating stereotypes and demeaning Māori ..

Was that you that took a pot shot at Billys house?

He was the most revered of all NZ comedians...period. Nowadays, any so called NZ ''comedian'' rely's heavily of foul language (no humour) to get a laugh.

I heard that a lot of folks were not fans, which is a shame.
He was a brilliant comedian and also a damned good entertainer, singer, writer and actor.

Any person who can do all of those, has a gift. Luckily he shared it with NZ.

Billy..........

He was so funny. The "Tainui Kid" was an all-time classic. The people who didn't like him, could just switch off right? Somehow they couldn't / didn't want to do that, they watched him and complained about it.

If HE does it ... it was ok ... Whitey does it ... national outrage.

Reverse racisism I think it's called ...

NO the FUCK it is NOT!!!..called reverse racism. Racism in reverse is = treating everyone the same....
Racism is treating somebody badly or unequally based on their race. Black to white or white to black - it is still RACISM.

Good job on completely losing the faith of the public nz police.

This is just flat out racism. No other word for it.

Entirely, its amazing how a certain section of society think that history owes them a living and privilege. While at the same time many claiming such ethnicity will have much less than 50% of such ethnicity. PERVERSE. Its high time any politician from any party stood up and said ''most of NZ has had a total gutsful of this state sponsored racism'' And that we are all New Zealanders and nothing else

Inequality is always wrong...

unfortunately for all of us we do not live in an equal society... (Yet)

we all would be better served if we could get over ourselves...

regardless of skin colour.

seems we got some way to go yet.......

So? Some fool coined a phrase and it got wiki'd. Still object to it's usage. Racism cannot be termed as the discrimination of a white against a black. It must be either way.....and fools that use the term only perpetuate the myth further.

The thing is, if these initiatives were done by socio economic status/background, it would get the same people, achieve the same results, and NOT have the opening of being labelled racist.
