Lol.Don't use big words to make a point ... Profanity and abuse with a dash of personal insults ... are the KB way (apparently) ...
If more actual facts were reported ... there would be less (no) bias involved. Bias gets people talking and facts shut people up ...
Labels aren't that great ... (eg) Hooker or Hospitality manager. It's who attaches the labels that say the most ...
Point well made :P

Why? A double standard is observable by the direct actions/words, to go digging around for secondary factors implying intent or causal relationships simply shows there is no observable double standard as you claim.
My bias is towards tolerance and happiness, try it sometime...

Some pretty valid points in there, somewhat dimished by his use of the "pakeha" term though.

I guess he could've used the term *Honky's*....

Some good points and true, people of all ethnic origins should read it.
But as I said ' in my experience' was based on work experience with vocal aggrieved 'clients'. ( You have to be there)
Outside of work it's a different story.
Another year will see me not having to deal with the 'in my experience' types.....

Or 'New Zealanders'...

Only New Zealanders exhibit tribal xenophobic behaviour?
"Human" is the correct noun, there.

Just as an interesting aside which is sort of relevant to the original topic, I learned last night (or did I re-learn?) where the term 'third world' comes from.
There isn't a 'First' or Second' world ... just a 'Third'. It was a phrase coined in the Cold War to describe nations who were not allied with either NATO or the Communist Bloc. EG, Ireland was 'third world' because it supported neither side. Of course the term has been hijacked now to mean something else but just thought I'd share.
As you were ...

I recall them banning them when I lived in Ireland....2003.
Oh and China does't want our piles of plastic either.

I remember in the late 80's Germans taking all the surplus packaging off their shopping and leaving it at the Supermarket.New Zealand previously shipped 15 million tonnes of waste plastic alone to Chinese processing plants each year.

I do that almost every time I buy something from any actual shop.
Good to see the plastic bags gone too.
