There are f*#kwits in any race, the trick is to see past them to the bigger picture.

My position is that during an argument involving racial issues disagreement with one's position or argument does not necessarily consititute racism.
I further contend that if a party does play the race card at such times (as it is clearly an argument based on race) then they are showing racism.
There have been many issues raised in this thread.
First off I'm not fucken racist! Even though I may have the gall to ask questions.
I believe that land illegally confiscated should be returned.
I believe that items such as air waves which were not known or conceived to be in existence at the time and thus no provision was made for in the treaty should belong to the crown. Note that the crown does represent us all including Maori thus your ideal of all getting on with each other is so much closer than if 2 (or more) classes of citizen are created. Ditto such things as the sea bed and foreshore unless "specifically" envisioned and covered by the treaty.
I would be happy for you to expand further upon how "we" have caused Maori to be over represented in crime. You levelled an accusation, then when questioned or rebuttal was offered declined to substantiate it. This helps your position not a whit.
Now that covers off a part of the discussion raised in this thread. I am happy to clarify my view on any other points.
It should also be noted that NONE of the above is racist and none of it is an opinion cast in stone. However I would hope for a better rebuttal than "you're racist".
