I wasn't talking about history. Inheritance has nothing to do with it.
In the present day, Māori have lower incomes, poorer access to housing and so poorer health, and they are discriminated against by health professionals when they do present. Māori have less access to finance and are discriminated against for jobs, and their children by primary school teachers. Racism: we has it.
As far as I can tell the same is true for First Nations people.
Yet all those affluent, successful Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysians, Koreans, Arabs, and Indians somehow get a free pass from the local racists?
For racism to be the ONLY reason, the Pakeha (Europeans) would have to have somehow come together at some secret congress in the past and agreed to ONLY discriminate against the Maori (and Pacific Islanders) - and then secretly pass this pact down generations and induct new European immigrants into the pact.
All the while intermarrying with the oppressed at an increasing rate and deifying them in All Black jerseys?
How else do you explain that multiple groups of non-European folk find NZ (filled with racists according to you) to be a venerable paradise, yet the only community that is armed with 1) its own dedicated government department, 2. dedicated cabinet minister, 3. reserved parliament seats, 3. privileged access to land and sea resources, 4. its own courts, and 5. drowning in public funding cannot compete with the children of immigrant shopkeepers?
It really is a primary school analysis.
Or - unspeakable alternative b) - there are other reasons for the disparity other than clan members with a kiwi accent?
But, that said, you are fortunate enough to be born in a time and place where simplistic, progressive analyses that accuse entire population groups of racist crimes are now considered acceptable in polite society - so go for it. Mate.
Nope, at best you are the partial descendents of an oppressor. As of course, are almost every Maori.
Guilt is not inherited. Stop loathing yourself.
