Brian Edwards and Cameron Slater sparring was entertaining to behold at the filming.
Whether there are any absolute ethics or only relative ones that are somehow the privince of yoof like Marshall as argued by Herkt and Slater wasn't prperly grappled with. Must read the LawCom report. Be nice humans.

such individuals were mostly Pakeha who were not comfortable with the label “European”
or more pertinently, not comfortable with the term Pakeha. Do wish StatsNZ would show some leadership.

Thanks. The 2007 report was helpful for some work I was doing at the time, which also included tangling with prioritised ethnicity. Interesting history.
The 2010 health sector review by Donna Cormack and her colleague is worth a read.

Ethnicity is more self-identified.
Always found that one interesting. If it's about *belonging* to a culture, then different ones of those have membership criteria and pathways that individuals interact with.
There's nothing to stop people making up identifications, but I'm not sure why they would bother in a Census - any more than people would lie in answering the disability question (though it's a cool thing to aspire to).

I agree with you on that actually, now that suitable caffeine levels have been restored.
Just a bit surprised at first that the race question would get higher response than the ethnicity one. Seems like evidence against people claiming Maori ethnicity for some kind of gain as talkback would have us believe.

the number of people who are of Māori descent is higher than the number of people who include Māori as one of their ethnicities.
Really? How does that work?

Thanks. I meant the (main) ethnicity question rather than the specific Maori ancestry one.

What would the numbers look like if they used the main Ethnicity question instead?
