Your ordinary average Pakeha Kiwi has no problem relating to Maori Kiwis as fellow ordinary people, fellow workers, fellow parents and generally just getting on with it. It is arrogant shit stirring nobodies like what’s her name that are always wanting to drive a wedge in between the races. Sure we’re different in some ways, but we have more in common than differences.
If nobodies like what’s her name would stop virtue signalling and write about ‘real news’ we’d all be better off.
Mind you, serves you right for reading that pathetic little rag. If you hadn’t read this crap you could find more interesting things to write about.
Can something be the "right thing" if it is wholly self serving? I would argue not, but that's just my view. I respect that other people may disagree and place more weight to good intentions.
The bigger picture is the work Seymour is doing to draw on what one might call "the silent majority" to build a larger constituency for his party by using his bill to divide New Zealanders along latent lines of dissensus that he has accurately identified. Arguably, your calling out of well-intentioned (if "naive") kiwis on fine intellectual distinctions assists that process. The watchword should be "all those who are not against us are with us", not the reverse.

You make it hard for anybody "to do the right thing". But maybe that's your shtick in life.
