What would Jesus do?
Kick Tamaki's arse, for a start.
ahhh... but tamaki is jesus you see.
consequently, such a kicking would require a level of contortionism so extreme and bizarre as to have brian banned from his own church.

i'm not wanting to read the whole thread... so let's say i agree with ian.
the bish is all about railing against all the things the bible doesn't like. "christian country" is a dogwhistle for straight men calling the shots.

here's an example. try saying to someone, with a straight face, "all asians are dole bludgers"
it just "doesn't work", if you'll excuse the pun.
someone also pointed out to me that a better stereotype is "all the poor asians are in asia". that one really works.
but all this said, i kind of think ben and joe are in partial agreement. it's good that "the man" can show a united front.

I suspect, but cannot be certain, that if you were living in Europe or North America you'd see a lot of Europeans.
well, yeah, but in my experience the persons depicted in australian and nzl ads are very difference.
in oz they're mainly blondes and "southern european' types (dark hair dark eyes), whereas here they're mainly blondes and "possibly polynesian" types.
i think joe is correct, asians aren't stereotypically depicted as poor in nzl. many other things, but rarely "poor".

this from the neale article.
Isn't one of the most common questions asked by and about New Zealanders still: "What is New Zealand culture exactly?"
Biculturalism was supposed to provide a neat answer to that. It hasn't.
ummm... sorry imogen. biculturalism was never meant to provide a context for new zealand culture. it is supposed to introduce maori culture to the majority, many of whom were aware of it, but didn't understand it.
i feel a blog coming on...

whoops... last comment was supposed to be a compliment to both androidss and mint chicks.
weird how things can seem kosher on first draft, and not on a reread.
