We’re practically genetic clones of one another — give or take a few wrinkles, freckles, or bad tattoos. That 0.1% difference is all that separates you from your neighbour, your barber, or that bloke screaming about colonisation from the steps of Parliament. Yet somehow, in New Zealand, we’ve managed to take that minuscule variation and blow it up into an entire political industry.
Welcome to modern New Zealand, where your ancestry — not your actions — decides whether you’re “disadvantaged,” “marginalised,” or entitled to a few extra helpings from the taxpayer buffet. Apparently, if you’ve got a Māori ancestor somewhere in your family tree (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), you get to play life on easy mode with a never-ending stream of race-based perks, special programs, and patronising policies.
This isn’t equality. This is bureaucratic brown-nosing — and we’re sick of it.
The moment anyone questions this circus, out come the tired lines. “But Māori die seven years younger!” — yes, and so do people who chain-smoke and live off KFC. That’s not racial oppression. That’s lifestyle choices with predictable outcomes. We’ve all got the same hospitals, the same GPs, and the same damn health information on Google. If you ignore it, that’s on you.
Newsflash: there’s no such thing as a “pure” Māori anymore. Genetics don’t give a damn about your whakapapa when your family tree is 90% blended. And yet, we're supposed to take seriously the idea that someone with one Māori great-grandparent should be legally treated as "indigenous" and therefore more deserving than their neighbours? That’s not equity. That’s race-based entitlement dressed in cultural cosplay.
This country is being torn apart by feel-good racism. Politicians are too spineless to call it what it is. Academics are too busy inventing new victimhood metrics. And the media? They’re too afraid to offend anyone who owns a taonga necklace and a Twitter account. We’ve created a nation where common sense gets labelled “hate speech” and equality is somehow “oppressive.”
Let’s call it what it is: separatism on stilts.
There should be one law — and one law only — for everyone. Not one law for the woke and another for everyone else. Not separate consultation processes, not different resource rights, not culturally-approved legal loopholes where race gets treated like a get-out-of-jail-free card. If you think your ancestors’ struggle gives you a hall pass to lord over everyone else today, you need therapy — not legislation.
We need to grow up as a nation. Drop the race card. Burn it if you have to. It's 2025. You don’t get special treatment because of your surname or your skin tone. You get it if you work hard, think straight, and stop blaming the colonial bogeyman every time life doesn’t go your way.
One country. One standard. One future — and if that hurts your feelings, maybe it's time to harden the hell up.

Great article. Yet the far left will defend their toxic racist views not realizing who the racists actually are. Media- get rid of them. Education system, massive overhaul required, no racists allowed, not sure many teachers or uni lectures will be left.
When trust breaks down in these professions as we are witnessing, then we are in serious trouble as a country. I used to respect teachers doctors etc, now I don't trust them at all. We are in serious trouble.
Well done John and thank you; much of a similar vein has been said before but not so succinctly, and if only the media would publish and publicize such common sense. There is, I'm afraid, one dark gentleman in the woodpile; we do not all think alike, nor are we educated all to the same level, so the shared DNA is subsumed in the dark recesses of the human brain, with its greed and need to feel as if it amounted to something. The need to compete and hold territory. The laws and society norms might try to ensure that we all think alike or feel alike, but the reality can be very depressing. Perhaps if we all followed Buddhism or Humanism, some progress might be made, but your Socratic insights will be largely ignored. Nevertheless, do not stop producing them.
I don't think "Racism" as such is what's responsible for human division, but more tribalism, which is as old as human consciousness. Skin colour just helps us tell one tribe from another.
Well said John. We were once one people with the same goals, dreams and ambitions until the last government spotted an opportunity to spike our almost utopian way of life by playing the race card. Chapter one in the Marxist play book is to divide and conquer guaranteeing success for the power hungry. I’m a fifth generation kiwi and saddened by the racial vitriol I hear from every corner of the country. This was never the case until recently. I admire David Seymour for standing alone while our cowardly PM hung him out to dry. Seymour was simply trying to start a grown up conversation while Luxon demonstrated that humans can survive without a backbone.
Fully agree John. It has been shown statustically that less and less people trust the media.
I also consider that fewer and fewer people trust politicians, judges, police, academics, et al. Where are the statistics regarding trust of each of these groups ?
But as the author says, this separatism has gone very far - and is now the source of great advantage ( not to be relinquished).
As per ACT's TP Bill debate , only 1 of 6 political parties clearly commits to citizen equality. Avoidance from the rest. Interesting to see how ACT uses this fact in the 2026 election campaign.
That 99.9% would appear to be a rhetorical figure because it sure ain't a scientifically correct one. For instance, some races have up to 5% Denisovan genetic material.
Tattos- good or bad- are not genetic ( thank goodness). And no, I do not have a single maori gene.
When 120 MPs voted for self sex ID, as reported in Yvonne Van Dongen: Anyone Can Make a Mistake article, don’t expect them to save us from this deliberate corporate apartheid agenda.
This engineered imbalance/ ideological virus/inversion matrix, is designed to divide, demoralize and replace us. It creates a divided guilt ridden and morally paralyzed society. This society is easier to govern, it’s easier to shatter its traditions, drown it in “imported” ideologies and define its language and turn its people against themselves. The end goal is not justice, not harmony, but a population too confused to resist and too fragmented to unite. This isn’t a war between races or religions or genders. It’s a war between truth and re- programming that has been forced on we the people by those elected and unelected government psychopaths who we allow to govern us.
True: this time only the sheeple can save themselves. Do they have the necessary courage?
Fast forward another few generations - the Maori DNA will even more dilute , down to a few tiny percentage points.
Now, tell those people that's it's not fair that they have considerable advantages over people without any Maori bloodlines, and that those advantages need to be taken away ?
Can you imagine the civil upheaval about that ?
Now tell the people without this genetic bloodline that they have to keep on subsidizing those ever so slightly brown people.
Can you imagine the civil upheaval about that ?
If only Luxon, Findlayson, et al could see this looming disaster and call it quits on all their racist policies.
The current disaster is Luxon.
Listen to his speech today to our military boys in the UK, and you could almost believe that he was ready to fight for democracy.
However, when he lands back on NZ soil he will revert to his normal apartheid form.
Anon 10.56 - Animal Farm in action. Scary.
And how about the government dropping the papa haka port. How much has the taxpayer been billed for providing accommodation, food and flights for the Luxon 'kapa haka follies'. Does he somehow believe that a performance of indigenous tongue poking tailcoaters will help swing a really big free trade deal in today's diplomatic environment? $50m+ for kapa haka, nix for Team New Zealand.
It says something doesn't it! Leave these fancy dress frolics to Air New Zealand and stops portraying us a country stuck in the 1850's.
All of the above comments are valid. However, people like Findlayson know exactly what they are doing (destroying the country as we know it) I will give the PM benefit of the doubt and say his actions are due due to political nativity, being very gullible and like a modern day teacher trying too hard to be everyone's friend.
Chameleon Chris...... very lucky to swing the 2026 election for National on his track record regarding Maorification and a 2 tier society.
