"New Zealand is a hopelessly confused country where people ... use the same words to mean different things

"TV and social media imagery is overloaded with couples of mixed ethnicity. ... The bi-cultural images aren't a problem. They reflect statistics ie fact, that more Maori partner with non-Maori than with Maori. ... New Zealand is a country where the first settlers welcomed and joined together, literally, with the later settlers.

"But change screens and consider the next image:

"'Decide together, Thrive together.'

"'Decide together' to be Separate? It's like deciding together to a divorce.

"Separate rolls for Maori. Separate wards and separate electorates. By any stretch of the imagination, that is not togetherness. ...

"To thrive together requires individuals to put their humanity before their ethnicity."

~ Lindsay Mitchell from her post 'A Confused Country'
