And yet here we are, 2026, and New Zealand is eagerly swallowing America’s obsessive race fixation like a sweet poison. Movies, music, architecture, politics — we copy it all. And now, we’re echoing their absurd idea that pigment defines morality, competence, or destiny. It’s a carnival of nonsense, a tragicomic pantomime.
Marama Davidson, co-leader of the Green Party, dropped a line that made the country shiver: “cis white males are responsible for violence in the world.” Not a thought experiment. Not a discussion. A blanket indictment, as if a person’s skin were a cosmic crime scene. Lazy. Reckless. Morally bankrupt.
Meanwhile, in Parliament, Mariamēno Kapa‑Kingi let slip, “that’s mighty white of you.” Spoken aloud, with no digital filter, no ironic meme shield — and the chamber shrugged. Flip that phrase on any other ethnicity? National uproar. Here? Silence. That’s the double standard Olympics, folks, and we’re all watching from the cheap seats.
Then there’s Rawiri Waititi of Te Pāti Māori, whose mouth is a grenade of controversy: blood quantum, claims of Māori genetic superiority, and dark jokes about poisoning David Seymour with karaka berries. Dangerous? Certainly. Reckless? Absolutely. A stark emblem of how far race discourse has strayed from civility and reason.
These aren’t rogue voices. These are mainstream politicians, wielding law, shaping culture, defining social mores. And the message? That being competent, rational, moral, and hardworking — especially if you happen to be fair-skinned — is offensive. That objectivity, integrity, and diligence are coded white supremacy. The absurdity is breathtaking.
Excuses pour out like vomit at a drunken banquet: “It’s not about white people, it’s about whiteness.”
Ah, yes. Being punctual, reasonable, effective — oppressive. Genius.
“It’s about systems, not individuals.”
Systems don’t speak. People do. And these people in power are wielding race as a cudgel, not a lens.
“You’re afraid of challenge.”
NO. We are saturated, soaked, drowning in this relentless pigment fetish. Every screw-up, every policy failure, every social hiccup blamed on skin tone. Enough.
New Zealand is full of mixed-race humans. Māori, Pākehā, Pasifika, Asian — walking, breathing testaments to our shared chaos. Pigment does not define morality, character, or capability. Treating it as though it does is childish, destructive, exhausting.
Judge humans for what they do, not what they’re born with. Demand honesty. Demand competence. Demand accountability. Teach history truthfully, without turning classrooms or Parliament into a race scoreboard.
Humans are messy, lusty, brilliant, flawed, contradictory. That’s the glory of existence.
Skin color? Irrelevant.
Morality? Paramount.
Intelligence? Sacred.
New Zealand deserves better than this obsessive, pointless fixation on race. And if you’re still clinging to pigment politics? Congratulations. You are part of the problem — and nothing less.

“Interbreeding”? With what, penguins?!
Also mods, this article has the style of an AI output in many ways. Patriotic people are articulate enough to get their point across without resorting to laziness.

As my uncle would say back in the day, to his grumpy murri mate-
'Nigga mind, you go black home, have a good sleep and wake up all white'
They're just words, but words that reflect character!!!
'Greens' and 'the partly murri' party, waste of attention-word fluff for print media!!
The aim here is restitution and is worldwide. UNDRIP and the Algerian Declaration against Colonisation are examples. Supported by the UN. For "wrong doing" carried out centuries ago. People need to realise this is very serious stuff. In New Zealand, people have jumped on the bandwagon as they see some advantage. Basically society could be taking a major seismic shift when you read the documentation. In Africa the indigenous people don't just want an apology, they want their land back and millions in restitution. Radicals here are just seeing an opportunity. Our politicians seem oblivious except for David Seymour. No wonder they dislike him so much.
Re: Anon 643
I think most readers will realise that 'interbreeding' refers to interracial breeding.
I am soo sick of having racist / Maori nonsense being forced upon me constantly, by the media.
As I have said before:- My position is this:-
I am not deaf
I am not Maori
I am not blind
I am not Chinese
There, I do not use sign language, Māori, braille or Mandarin.
However I fully accept and respect that some people need or prefer to use these languages.
All I ask is that I do not have any of these forced upon me.
If I am greeted with sign language or “Kia Ora” I would normally respond “Bonjour”.
@Anonymous 6.43am - What tools one uses to compose an article, or even whether someone copulates with penguins matters not a bit.
Someone is either right or wrong.
That's all that matters.
And if you think they're wrong you have to prove it.
Crapping on about AI and penguins and hoping nobody notices you have no substantive argument ain't gonna do it.
Touche, anon@3.32! Many, enlightened, will fully appreciate what John is on about, but there's always some who are critical, yet add nothing substantive. As with the Sneetches, having a star (or not) should be irrelevant.
John's closing comment is so apt.
NZ, like the US (and Aus and Canada), is an immigrant society - one in which the descendants of immigrants vastly outnumbered the indigenous people quite some time ago, and where one or two cultures brought by the immigrants prevail (British in the case of NZ, British and French in the case of Canada).
This complex multifacetted scenario is far beyond a simple matter of skin colour. The article's author seems to home in on this aspect of race just a bit much, probably in an attempt to simplify it. But skin colour may not even by a reliable guide to tensions within such a mosaic society, as witness e.g. English/French tensions in Canada.
In Europe, multiracialism/culturalism has been foisted upon us through uncontrolled immigration. We are doing something about it by booing out some of the surplus.
Having said that, there are non-European communities in our countries who adjusted a long time ago to our way of life and exist among us without any hassle. They speak the same lingo that we do, attend the same educational and healthcare institutions that we do, celebrate the same public festivals that we do, etc. The term 'monoculture' gets many backs up but a common set of cultural maxims and values unite whereas a disparate set of diverging ones divide.
