That's fucking shocking. I hope people cop on for you brother Grá ó Éirinn 💪

That's AUT. These students are talking about Auckland University

Samoans aren't indigenous in NZ .They are migrants like the Pakeha and the Asians . No difference. Maori are the tangata whenua in Aotearoa and have no other land they can go where their language and culture are paramount. Pacific Islanders have that as a privilege.

@@MrAhuapai True, Tangata Whenua are the Indigenous Peoples of Aotearoa New Zeaand. However, the word 'Indigenous' is universal & applies to any First Nation Peoples from one's homeland eg NZ, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Niue, PNG, Solomon Is, Vanuatu etc in the Pacific. The word Indigenous goes with them regardless of what foreign land they migrate to.

@@vosavaka-viti625 Indigenous coming from a particular place and having lived there for a long time before other people came there. The term Indigenous relates to being from that place. They dont have to be first nations as we know them. Italians are indigenous to Italy.Migrants are not. In NZ its disingenous to refer to Samoans or Tongans as indigenous as they are a migrant population. Its also used in a political sense First Nation as terminology where the original population have been overtaken by a dominant population. pacific Islanders should use the term when they are in their own land not when they are living on another indigenous persons land.

When were Samoan indigenous to NZ? University and Government are creating an apartheid NZ and causing division. Let’s all apologise for being white. How racist and divided NZ has become

+Pepe Mosby They do that to everyone unless if you have showed them that you and trying and having trouble, but it's a bit unfortunate that perhaps it has more to do with the annoyance of that technophobes doesn't know how to do basic things. Even my IT teachers at high school acted in the same manner unless if I was asking them advanced stuff, but than again, I am not entirely sure if it would be different if I was Pacifika.

LAH MARU are you speaking facts or are you just making assumptions to me the true ignorant ones are those that reflect that shit on to others stop focusing on other people so much focus on you you invest to much time worrying about how others perceive you have you even given those people you say are ignorant the time of day to get to know them before jumping to accusations talked to those people who you feel are looking at you that way

@@getyourfactsstraight4612 Clearly comprehension isn't your friend :) Re-read the comment & you'll find she is speaking from experience.. Now you're suggesting she hasn't even tried giving THEM the time of day - as history has shown, it's Europeans who are closed minded, ignorant & afraid of what they don't understand. Take yourself for instance...

You realise Islam isn't a race right?

Well if you want to get technical about it, the ancestors of the Maori migrated from eastern Polynesia, the only real difference, is that no one else was there when they arrived

Weak is being born with genetic deficiencies such as high anxieties and inferiority complexes lol What's a mid-life crisis? and what is it about life that causes you to curl up like a foetus and cry out your insecurities!??

Oh dear me lol!? Would you be so kind as to explain to me, what is a mid-life crisis!? Is that even a thing!? and if so, what is it about life that causes you 'people' to break down in despair & break out with inferiority complexes and anxieties!? and be in constant need of psychiatrists, lying on their couch crying out in inadequecies and insecurities!? Is it because you are nowhere near as mentally strong as you claim to be!? :) lol Notice how no Islander is ever in need of psychiatrists!? :) LMFAO

Oh puleaassee ~ !

@@nemo9343 This inbred has no answer because your truthful comment hit far too close to home for him. Now he's like a dear in headlights lol happens alot with those who suffer from genetic deficiencies such as anxieties and inferiority complexes.

No, people who display racist attitudes towards Maori and Pacific students just don't understand affirmative action. You say history is no excuse ? Well Pakeha wrote that "excuse" when they agreed to meet the obligations of underprivileged populations under the Treaty of Waitangi to develop an "even ground".And mate don't ever go associating the word "privilege" with disadvantaged populations because that's just plain ignorant. Affirmative action for the Medical and Health Sciences is to bridge the health disparities and inequalities between Maori/Pacific and Non-Maori/Pacific populations. Also, Maori/Pacific medical graduates usually go back and serve their underprivileged communities so your whole "choosing a GP" argument is full of crap. The people doing the "choosing" here are Maori and Pacific patients who request for Maori and Pacific doctors. Can Asian or European doctors communicate effectively in Te Reo the effects/symptoms of treatment ? Define a "competent" doctor now.

Grew up in a underprivileged background as well. Based on your assumption that every non-maori/pacific person is automatically branded a racist because of their skin colour. Your assumptions also assumed that the most discriminated group is NZ aka Asians faces no discrimination in NZ. Those assumptions automatically make you sound racist. "Disadvantaged population" -Another word I also hear. Ever heard of Chinese gold miners in NZ? They were discriminated by early European settlers and how do they earn respect? By simply working harder. The current system with MOST NOT ALL Maori/Pacific students are whining their way into a shortcut rather than being competitive. The most plain legalised racism: Giving a degree to someone with a lesser qualification due to their skin colour. How is that any different to racial segregation/maori supremacy? Only ignorant people won't know affirmative action is no different to a National Front for maori/poly. Does not having Affirmative action mean no Maori/Polynesians will graduate as doctors? No, it in fact encourages them to be more competitive rather than "incompetent" doctors who got a C- average vs A+ average for other grads. Doubt underprivileged maori/pacific community would choose a doctor who knows 50-55% of their stuff rather than one who knows 90+.

+chrischoy9 Just because you assumed that I made those assumptions doesn’t necessarily mean that I made those assumptions. You are totally missing the point of my argument.I am basically saying this: Affirmative action in relation to the Medical and Health Sciences is to bridge the health disparities and inequalities between Maori/Pacific and Non-Maori populations. Maori and Pacific have the highest rates of disease and have the poorest health outcomes (look at the stats). Having more Maori and Pacific doctors will reduce these health inequities (want me to explain, sure I would love to educate you).I do not know why affirmative action is implemented into other faculties and I have specifically referred to the Medical and Health Sciences in my previous comment. And if you are inferring that affirmative action in the Medical and Health Sciences is institutionalized racism then you are basically denying Maori and Pacific people their right to better health outcomes. Who's racist now? Only ignorant people won’t ever see the bigger picture and are confined to their own pre-conceived beliefs. If Asian/Indians or any other ethnic group had the highest rates of disease/poor health then of course the government would make a commitment to level the playing field through affirmative action. But they don't have the worst health outcomes which is great because I would never wish that upon any population. Finally, could you stop with the “stupid Maori/P.I doctor” generalizations because you have no evidence to back that up, again you are one who sounds racist here. There is no such thing as an "incompetent doctor", have you ever heard of a practicing medical license? You either have one or you don't ! So I doubt the Medical Council will employ incompetent doctors in the first place because nobody who knows 55% of their stuff would pass those vigorous board exams.

Wayne Amituanai That is a very pro-Maori/Pacific-centric view. I can easily tell you're not the type of person who has even been to uni (by your use of American English and your attitude in doing bare-minimum). If I showed what you've just justified to one of my close hard working Pacific/Maori friends, they would be disgusted as much as I am. You can justify all you want, you can twist your justification and make Hitler non-racist, you can depict ISIS as a civilised human rights group, it's not hard. Anyone can do it, but ultimately, it sounds illogical which is what you're doing. I don't view Affirmative action as "racist" for manual labour jobs that don't require much experience, but denying someone getting a A from graduating in favour is someone with a C rather than someone more QUALIFIED due to their RACE/ETHNICITY is ultimately RACISM. -Dictionary definition of racism. If language barrier is a problem, they can give a double weighting on people who studied Maori. I don't see a problem in that as long as everyone has the same equal rights on a fair playing ground.

I am having an online argument with a cartoon avatar, do you think I care If KZfaq autocorrects my punctuation and grammar into American English. And of course I would give you my bare minimum because you are not worth my effort. Funny you say that your Maori/Pacific friends would be disgusted with what I have just said when all the hardworking Maori/Pacific researchers are the ones who are perpetuating these justifications in the first place. And now you want to associate "hard working" with Maori and Pacific people when you just generalised them as incompetent. Language barriers are ONE of the problems. There you go again being ignorant, trying to recommend "quick fix" interventions. But yeah, nothing further because you are entitled to your opinion and your facts so rant off all you want.

How so? Racism still exists today fool. Not just at Auckland Uni.
