Why do people think racism works like noise cancelling?
If you’re racist the “other way”, it doesn’t cancel out the initial racism, it just creates more racism.

How the heck do they figure out who’s who and where do they draw the line? Imagine telling someone who identifies as Maori that they aren’t Maori and then charges them an extra $10 for it. God I hope they’re not doing any blood quantum shit.
I’m not sure if Aotearoa has band offices like they do in Canada, but one way to achieve equity (and not doing any harm) would be to give coupons or something to the band office so they can hand them out to their people. Thus giving discounts to people who need them and not making anyone feel excluded.
That’s a good point, I assume they just take the person’s word for it. There’s a lot of Maori that don’t look particularly Maori around.
