How the 'normal' person reacts to racism

Racism, YouTubeBy Pat BrittendenJune 25, 2015Leave a comment

A brilliant social experiment was done in Lithuania where a new migrant to the country has a Facebook post that is ladened with racist themes targeted directly at him. It is written in Lithuanian so he asks a local to translate it for him into English. Check it out for yourself [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNX1256eVw8&w=560&h=315] The audio…

If not racist, it's certainly xenophobic

Chinese, Property, Racism, Racist, Winston Peters, XenophobiaBy Pat BrittendenMarch 18, 20142 Comments

One quarter of all foreign sales of real estate in New Zealand are to ‘Chinese’ buyers. The reason I wrote the word Chinese as a parenthetical phrase is to most red blooded necked true New Zealanders (i.e. white) the classification of ‘Chinese’ would mean anyone of Asian ancestry. So let’s look at those numbers. Firstly, if 25%…

A powerfully, disturbing diversity excercise

Experiment, Jane Elliot, Racism, YouTubeBy Pat BrittendenNovember 14, 2013Leave a comment

This video is powerful, disturbing, uncomfortable and I think a must watch for everyone who wants to learn a bit more about how a minority might feel. The teacher is Jane Elliot. Jane is also a diversity trainer who developed the Angry Eyes Exercise otherwise known as the “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” exercise to teach students…

You can't legislate against being a 'dick'

Censorship, Fabrice Muamba, Liam Stacey, Orwellain, People who need their heads read, Racism, Tweet, UKBy Pat BrittendenMarch 21, 2012Leave a comment

I wrote a few months ago about football players in the UK being arrested and facing criminal charges for racial taunts, I said then I wasn’t for it, and I have to say I am still not for it. You can’t legislate the ‘dick-ishness’ out of someone. I could understand if a player was to…

Gingrich will be nervous about a Perry endorsement

American Election, GOP, Media, Newt Gingrich, Racism, Rick Perry, VideoBy Pat BrittendenJanuary 20, 20121 Comment

Today we hear the sad news that the last remaining hope for comedians the world over has left the race to be President of the USA. In the early hours of this morning NZ time Rick Perry announced he was pulling out from the race. Comedians the world over have shed a tear, first Donald…

It's not about Race or Age or Gender or Religion…it's about Poverty

child abuse, Christchurch, Discrimination, Economy, Education, Income, maori, Money, RacismBy Pat BrittendenJanuary 18, 20128 Comments

For a long time I have had a bit of an untested theory. I’ve come to a place where I don’t think the negative statistics in New Zealand are about race, age, gender or religion.  I think they’re about poverty and the by products of poverty. Let me back up a little and give you…

Being arrested for using racist taunts…I'm not for it.

Discrimination, legislation, maori, Media, RacismBy Pat BrittendenJanuary 9, 20128 Comments

In the UK at the moment you can be arrested for using racial insults. Now I find racism abhorrent, the idea that one person believes themselves better than anyone else because of the colour of their skin, or what culture they come from is not only loathsome but ludicrous. Often examples of such cretins who believe in racist…
