    Judge gives feral 150 hours of community service to "repay" the $155k debt, equating this low level work to $1,000 per hour.

    Yep, nah, the taxpayer will be thrilled with that outcome.

    Dame Susan stirring up racial disharmony again....I never knew European kids never got abused. How entitled and ignorant of me.

    yeah apparently it is ok for a Maori kid to call my son 'white boy' and a 'white cnut' every day at school, but as soon as my son uses the word brown in a response, he is racist!

    That's the world we live in today. You hear idiots say "black people cannot be racist because they don't have the "power" to be racist". Or some other nonsensical bullshit to justify it.

    My better half (who is black) constantly says by far the most racist people in the world today are black people against whites. Especially in places like the States where movements like BLM are completely normalised. It's sad and just takes us backwards when we normalise racist behaviour like that because of past injustices.

    @MN5 Dame Susan is a fucking terrible race relations commissioner. The way she grandstands...she is so unqualified for the position it's ridiculous.

    No one really know exactly what was said at that Waiheke party, but the way she went after Sir Peter Leitch was disgusting.

    This is not specifically directed at you and I am prepared for the "leftard" backlash and maori apologist responses.

    Has your boy considered trying to break down the aminosity, the hand of frieendship as they say? The maori kid is likely to have a cnut for a dad/role model and is probably not mixing with other cultures. Racism is learnt and one of the ways to reverse this is to create empathy with other cultures. I know its not your boys responsibility but it could start with him

    I don't think that is unreasonable. Without a doubt the boy will have learnt that behaviour from care givers or other people in his life. That's the part I am sad about - that it is normalised to the point that the boy thinks it's OK and nobody is likely to call him or his family out on it.

    A leftard response would have been to claim that Maori cannot be racist and that TR's boy needs to check his white privilege.

    @dK this boy is from a good stable family, however the issues with this kid extended to physical bullying this week too (they were in same class 2 years ago at primary, and they never had issues)

    Despite being much bigger than my son, and my son being terrified of him following threats to beat him up after school, it is because of my son's racist remark that he is bullying him, and he promised if my son stops being mean to him, he'll stop picking on him...as my son said to the principal, why would I antagonize him?

    That sucks your son has to put up with that. The principal supportive? They bring in the bully's parents?

    That's the part that has annoyed me in the past with bullying in schools. They make it the victims problem, and get the victim help etc.

    What they should do is tell the victim this has nothing to do with them, and that they will work with the bully and his/her family to ensure they know what they are doing is wrong. They can then organise counselling etc for the bully to work through their issues.
