    @taniwharugby said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

    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!

    I really struggle to believe that any school has a policy where it is sweet as for any kid to call another kid a fluffybunny, regardless of race.
    was the consistent 'white' abuse raised with the school before the 'brown' and ignored, or did both come to light at the same time?
    obviously i'm just guessing here, but more often than not what you see is one has been getting away with it and the other not complaining, then when they fight back it gets noticed and looks like 'he said she said' rather than a pattern of bullying and then an eventual reaction - which is unfair and shit, but the school can only act on the evidence they have. on the other hand, if they did know it was going on already, then i'd be having some pretty strong words with the school.

    @reprobate it was more that the 'brown' comment was supposedly at the heart of the issue, other comments barely gained a mention, was all just part of him being 'mean' to TR Jnr.

    As I said elsewhere, I felt blame has been unfairly apportioned to my son, IMO to appease parents who are on BOT and the claims of a racist comment made by my son, but am letting it slide if issue is resolved, as I hope it seems to be.

    My complaint has been documented, so if anything continues then we will be taking it further and query why specific points were not addressed.

    I presume this is an investment / bolthole, but he could he be the first US leftie to actually put his money where his mouth is and leave the US after the Trump win?

    Not sure he'll be inviting his fellow american bolthole neighbours like Peter Theil around for a drink though.

    Oh look, must be another light news day. Max Key gets another story.

    Maybe his desire to be famous is the reason he looks like he is auditioning fro 'Dumb and Dumber 3'

    I read yesterday that at Pak N Save in Thames, there is a massive uproar, as the bakery has decided to stop making the 1 dollar wholegrain loaves as they were losing money on it.

    This was on the herald.

    On the front page.

    Somebody call John Campbell.

    And then get the Mother of the Nation to chime in.

    Meanwhile Max Key watch continues.... this takes the piss perfectly

    Madeleine Chapman  /  Mar 5, 2017  /  Pop Culture

    A harrowing report from the Max Key VIP experience

    A harrowing report from the Max Key VIP experience

    Max Key is touring the country to promote his new single 'All The Way'. The Spinoff sent known recluse Madeleine Chapman along for the full VIP experience.<br /> <br />

    What a dick.

    (Mind you I used to think the same about Phil Schofield when he was an annoying weedy pom prancing around Auckland hosting Shazam and trying to ingratiate himself with bands and groupies. He actually did become very famous and very rich....)

    Such a good article. I read it via the herald website and can say with 100% certainty it's the best article I've read on there for the last 2 years. What an absolute douche.
