Now we have a new Governor-General can we please investigate the old one for War Crimes?

We can all mock Donald Brash – but what about actual racism in NZ? Where were the smug comments last week?
The mere idea that Maori somehow have a special privilege is just a white myth! Look at the incarceration rates, look at the crime rates, look at the life expectancy rates, look at the socio-economic rates, look at the education rates, health rates, inequality rates, poverty rates – in EVERY SINGLE NEGATIVE SOCIAL INDICATOR, Maori are suffering.
