True of NZ as well. Early settlers married Maori princesses* but after the arrival of settler women interracial marriage was shameful and nearly unheard of. Until the cultural revolution in the 60s/70s. But even then it was rare.
Replying to @arctotherium42
Almost all of the first generations of encomenderos and conquistadors married native women (mostly aristocrats), and the first generation of mixed children passed easily into creole society. But by the 1550s, interracial marriage between Indians and Spaniards ~stopped.

*frankly, the surfeit of "Maori princesses" makes me wonder if the settlers weren't exaggerating to save face after marrying tūtūas. Every village had a "princess" to sell or marry off to a visitor.

When ACT's candidate immigrated he reportedly brought his wife, her parents and his own parents with him under NZ parent pathway visas. Bring in one migrant - get five more. It's a Ponzi scheme that will crash our economy in the same way it has done in the UK or Canada.

The framing of the article makes it clear this is more about resentment towards @NZfirst than it is about a new party. The establishment want a "kingmaker" to take disaffected votes and side with Labour. A role that was up til now played by NZF.
Red Radio doing a glossy puff piece for the far-left Opportunity Party. RNZ will actively promote them because they know the kiddy halfwits would vote for more funding for their left wing garbage.

A few comments from Facebook. The attempt to paint @OpportunityNZ as "right" is as transparent as it is opportunistic.

Littering is one of my biggest personal bugbears, cannot stand it. Triggers PTSD from travel in the third world where, apart from being unpleasant, garbage everywhere is an indicator that there is some state or social breakdown in a country. Big visual marker of enshittification
Reform UK vows to make Britain beautiful again with major crackdown on fly-tipping and littering - including tougher fines and National Action Day where MPs will lead local clean-ups trib.al/u6IuRh5

After taking this photo of burned out houses in East Belfast, two local lads scrolled through my phone photo library to ensure I hadn’t captured any faces, telling me “with no animosity, like” to “fuck away off before you get kneecapped”

Bungee cords are perfectly safe if you don't over tension them like a retard. They're only really meant to stretch enough to keep the hooks engaged.

The @1NewsNZ segment on looksmaxxing is hilarious. They're treating it like it is ISIS. 🤣🤣🤣

"Of the 87 graduates, 33 were born overseas, with eight born in India". More than a third of the trainees were foreigners. The overseas recruits don't even require citizenship - residency will do 🙄 indianweekender.co.nz/news/i…

There's a pattern of NZ media concealing the ethnicity of criminals - the K Rd gang r_pe, the Sth Akl graffiti vandal and now - 'Charlie Hebdo' threats made in a Chch newsroom. The reason for the obfuscation - 'to dampen community tensions' ⬇️ rnz.co.nz/news/crime-and-jus…

An example: I noticed the public area outside our house needed waterblasting and thought "I should do that". But I didn't and so I was woken up at 3am by the council doing it. Wtf

There is real power in cleaning graffiti, in picking up litter, in taking ownership of your surroundings, in setting the rules. Your neighbourhood is yours for the taking. Don't wait for permission.

Henry's brutal treatment by the police for the crime of "being accused of racism while white" is even more indefensible (if that's possible) when you learn how officers treated his murderer almost like a guest of honour when they finally deigned to arrest him:
Sikh Sentenced to Minimum of 20 Years for Murdering Henry Nowak With Religious Dagger. Vickrum Digwa has been sentenced for the murder of Henry Nowak with a large Sikh dagger, in a case that drew public outrage after the killer falsely claimed his victim was racist and the police initially believed him. These are the details: PULSE POINTS ❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Vickrum Digwa, 23, was sentenced to a “life” sentence with a minimum term of 20 years before the possibility of release for the murder of 18-year-old white teenager Henry Nowak, whom he stabbed five times with a large Sikh dagger. Digwa claimed self-defense, alleging Nowak was drunk and launched a racist attack against him, but the sentencing judge said these were lies. 📰 DETAIL: The murder took place in Southampton, England. Digwa’s false accusations of racism against Nowak saw responding police officers initially arrest him and put him in handcuffs while he bled to death, saying, “Please, brother, I can’t breathe.” The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the officers’ actions. However, sentencing judge William Mousley argued in court that “Henry was complaining that he had been stabbed and was struggling to breathe, but that would not necessarily have told the officers how serious the incident had become,” suggesting punishment may not be forthcoming. 🎯 IMPACT: Nowak’s family called for a “transparent investigation” following Digwa’s sentencing, noting the contrast in their treatment. “Henry should not have died on the streets of Southampton in police custody. The way he was treated was inhumane and degrading,” noted Nowak’s father, Mark, adding that Digwa was afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all. And, as Vickrum Digwa himself told the court, while under arrest for Henry’s murder, police even took him to the kitchen so he could choose his food. The contrast is unbearable.” 💬 KEY QUOTE: “You have brought shame on your family, your community and your religion,” Judge Mousley told Digwa during sentencing, adding he had “stirred up racial tension in Southampton and across the country which have made many Sikhs worried about their safety.”
