gotta thank PA System for the heads up on the Coddington article.

After reading this post I made my way to my fav coffee shop to digest it all. I actually thought the article on the Orgasm researcher was way more interesting.

Anyway not being one to hold…

Rather it would seem that 'mainstream' New Zealand demands an idealised conformity on immigrants.

My point was that Suu Kyi and Mandela became symbols of virtue that dramatically altered prevailing popular attitudes. Martin Luther King was the focal point for a similar social metamorphosis in the US. Some stereotypes, like…

Neither Nelson Mandela nor Aung San Suu Kyi are 'minorities'...

Nor did/do they represent the values of the societies they lived/live in — they were/are both rebels by the standards of the prevailing doctrines of their times.

On that note, I'm always trying to make the point that getting society to acknowledge the rights and contributions of minorities by overemphasising the model minority 'high achievers' who get awards and prizes and are well integrated, is problematic.

This is a good point. But it is also true that…

Remember how Nationals popularity spiked after the Orewa speech on the Treaty?

Unfortunately life is not quite imitating No.…

Perhaps my metaphor has strained it's moorings a little too far ...

Dude, I was on the point of calling search and rescue ;-)

Dastardly exploiter:
How come I've never seen you people before?

The big picture spread ("Queen St, August 2006") was obviously chosen to show the provincial readership how Asians are TAKING OVER Auckland in VAST NUMBERS. "See how tightly packed they are! Just like Hong…
