I always hear oh they get XYZ and we get nothing (I was amongst this group for a long time).
This isn't the case.
I will try to describe it as best as I can, I'll even use the same name.
Wiremu is born 12 December 1989
William is born 12 December 1989
They both enter a 200metre race at birth to see who will succeed.
Immediately William is advanced 10metres as when his folks die at ages 30 he'll inherit a $1.5m estate from the sale of their house, based of accumlative wealth.
He gains another 10 metres for having food in his belly every day of his childhood, allowing him to succed at school
Another 10 metres is gained for growing up in a affluent area, giving him access to a high decile school
He gains another 30metres as no "white" will ever interview him for a job, look at his skin colour and decide not to hire him because he's brown.
He only has 140m to run.
Wiremu gains nothing at birth.
His parents and grandparents own no land
Their language has been actively suppressed until just 2 years ago
He doesn't go to a good school because of the area he lives in
He has no lunch when he's there as his parents can't or choose not to afford it
There's violence at home
All of which push him back even further from William at the staring line.
Now an exceptional individual might be able to run fast enough to beat William, but lets face it the odds are against them.
This is why the extra effort is poured into minority groups, not because they're "Lazy" or not willing to work hard enough, just some need a bit of help to get them off the line, to claw in that advantage.
I've worked fucking hard for what I have, but I doubt that if I wasn't born into my circumstances if I'd be where I am today.

What a crock of wokistan shit. Thats the sort of crap virtue signalling white solo mothers put on their Facebook pages pretending to apologise for their privilege that doesnt exist.
Youve been watching too many American sitcoms... Id love to see real statistics on how many white people recieved your alledged 1.5$m inheritance.
I grew up in a predominantly Māori village, went to school on bus with Māori kids all throug out my education.
Ive been broke a couple times in life but reset and moved on. Im where I am now as a result of decisions I made including the bad ones.
You forgot to mention all the extra university scholarships only available to Wiremu and not William.
Wiremu also has a free block of land thanks to treaty settlement processes. Whether he engages properly with his ini to utilise that is another story.
Wiremu is about to have his own overfunded medical system too.
Btw theres violence in white homes too infact it happens more than in brown homes, there was a major fluff news article about that.
Theres lots of successful Māori at my work some from quite rough backgrounds but THEY made their OWN individual decisions that made them successful.
If you want to talk about racial disadvantage try talking to a white person trying to join police...
