Couldn't pronounce, and she was to be interviewed for the flagship Sat morning interview segment??? She couldn't pronounce it, hadn't looked it up, and so I couldn't take her seriously, turned her off).Hilary Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240590567749247083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-13002245620704523202021-06-21T08:05:12.242+12:002021-06-21T08:05:12.242+12:00Oh but that's racist!!!🙄Oh but that's racist!!!🙄Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05134025465295032820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-26240022320032142282021-06-20T18:26:25.076+12:002021-06-20T18:26:25.076+12:00When is the 2022 Pakeha writer in residence award ...When is the 2022 Pakeha writer in residence award be announced?Brendan McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741263914308842497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-63695385816766632322021-06-20T16:57:58.698+12:002021-06-20T16:57:58.698+12:00Karl's comment perfectly reflects what we all ...Karl's comment perfectly reflects what we all see happening in New Zealand at present.

I have lived and worked in quite a few countries, had any of then treated me in such a way I would have quickly moved on. Why would her father have stayed and married a Pakeha women if the treatment was so dire.<br /><br />Or is it perhaps an exaggeration played out in the knowledge that tales of victimhood receive the accolades and funding.

Would she have won the Pasifika writers' award otherwise? Who knows for sure but it mightn't have helped her chances. It's entirely rational behaviour on her part, even if it might seem disingenuous to some pale, stale males.<br /><br />The fabric of New Zealand society today is an ever-expanding honeycomb of such little "omissions". New myths are being created daily by a government consciously and deliberately promoting racial division. Dare I mention the Marxist race-baiting that is proposed as the New Zealand history curriculum? We have a government that offers incentives to opportunists on the basis of race, while relying on the cowardice of the public to keep turning a blind eye. I can't see how it will end well.Trev1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00271717267778957672noreply@blogger.com
