At the moment there is a redress of past imbalances that is happening in SA. Which I agree with, but cannot live with.

I realise that this process will limit my childrens opportunities - and probably theri children's opportunities, and chose to move to a place where they (and I) will be treated equally.

Honestly, I dont think Kiwis understand how good they have got it, in global terms.

I haven't tried looking for a job over there, but I have (white) family members over there.

The point I am trying to make is that over there, there were, and still are (just the otherway around) real legal, structural and ecoomic woes that prevent people from having opportunities. Over here, there are NONE - just maybe percieved ones.

Yep.
I didn't know how good it was until I went overseas.

If we could just fix the arseholes here we would be perfect

Funny thing about Maori (no under or overtones intended here) is just how well they seem to do when they venture overseas!

I know quite a few in all sorts of different locations and they fair thrive!

Makes me wonder, what or who holds them back here?

They have told me the answer to that question but do they tell us "all" what they think we might want to hear?

Like I said funny thing!

Then again most Kiwi's seem to do OK when they go overseas don't they!

We should at least all be thankful for the existence of the Treaty. It has probably prevented the existence/occurrence of racial reservations and armed conflict.

P.S It has also by way of the Treaty industry provided a lot of employment for both Maori and Pakeha.

I heard that comment a few times when I lived in the UK. "You Kiwis are all good workers". I used to reply that it was generally only the working types that go on an OE. Based on that there are plenty of useless bludgers in NZ as well!
