Discrimination against Asians in New Zealand grows

The racism in NZ is so minor that it may as well not exist. Stop crying about nothing retards.

I'm a mix of White and Maori, and i have many Asian friends though even as friends they still tend ton insult New Zealanders and claim to be more superior. Still Asians are treated far better in NZ than Westerners are treated in Asia. I experience racism form Asians all the time. And this is in my own country. so how bad must it be in Asia? well I've been to most Asian countries and the racism there is really bad.

Surely all but the Moari should fear the words go back home!

Your rationalizing I never heard absurd. Remarks not physical reaction of anger! Nothing to get excited upon, I know. The attitude the policies of foreign trade. Then immigration if feel Oceania. Racist you have option allow western. Freedom in confined prison camps you full conformity. Tired of perception of political assumptions. Go back to Asia you don't need us. Where members of ASEAN free market. If we do more trade with Asia then EU,UK,Canada and America. Reason they ignore us geographically anyhow. If feel exclusion take the next flight out. Of misery White and proud racial is economic. Color is worthless maybe I should Asian. You'll have better pensions! I'll say this regarding Asian respect. Your values upon, narcotics children. Eager to become successful not some dependent lott. Paradox you'll never change social order which is established. Thank you.

I understand exactly and sympathise with what Asian people say about NZ racism..Try being a Maori....

I remember that I was just going for a walk with my cousin, when a car slowed down next to us, and the white New Zealand people in the car started yelling racist insults at us, and then, they threw a half-eaten hamburger which hit my cousin on his head. My cousin told me that the Chinese people normally always walk in a group of 4 or 5 people, because if a Chinese person walks alone, he is likely to be yelled at and to have rubbish thrown at him by the New Zealand people. New Zealand is far more racist than Australia or England. Normally, if a Chinese person walks along the street in England, it is highly unlikely that the white English people will yell racist insults at him, because most English people only look down on Chinese people, most English people do not resent the Chinese people. And in Australia, of course, it may happen sometimes, some white Australian people will start yelling insults at a Chinese person, because some Australian people seem to resent and hate the Chinese people. But in New Zealand, it is very common that the New Zealand people will start yelling and throwing rubbish at a Chinese person who happens to walk alone, because most white New Zealand people look down on the Chinese people and most New Zealand people do seem to resent and hate the Chinese people. At least, in England, the white English people only look down on the Chinese people, but they do not hate the Chinese people! In New Zealand, not only do the white New Zealand people look down on the Asians, the New Zealand people also hate the Asians! My Chinese cousin also told me that it is nearly impossible for Chinese students who graduate from university in New Zealand to find suitable employment, because the white New Zealand employers are racist, and they do not want to hire Asian graduates.

I went to NZ from HK in 1990 and returned to HK in 1997.
I went through the schooling system and worked locally to make contributions to the IT industry. However, I did encounter very rude and unfriendly people throughout the years and I have made as much effort to integrate and befriend people as I could. All I could say is that people want us dead and silenced, and rob away anything valuable from us. They want our lives fail and did a ton of character assasination towards us unnecessarily. I could not trust their justice system either. If you dont have money, nobody would care about you. If you have money, they seem to think you owe them something.

BD, according to what you commented here, I think you ARE a racist person. I agree Asians should try harder to mingle, but at the same time, many Kiwis don't allow us the chance to. As soon as they see our faces, hear our words, they already have a verdict in mind, just like you.

I am not a racist person, but what do you expect. These so called unwanted migrants come to NZ thinking it's their country without respecting the views of the existing citizens if they find it that hard to live in NZ why not go back home where they belong or don't settle here in the first place. I am sick and tired of walking down Auckland high street and hearing lots of Asians speak in their own language so loud everyone can hear, so much for wanting to integrate these people choose not too and don't want to either. The main problem with the NZ government is that they are trying to flood NZ with too many Asians more than NZ needs without thinking of the effects that this would do to NZ. It is no wonder why racism is on the increase as the existing residences are beginning to feel like second class citizens which in a way is discrimination against them. The NZ government should stop trying to encourage people from Asia, like they did back in the 1970's and 1980's this would solve the problem that NZ is facing.

I've read some of the comments people have made and I am disappointed that racism directed towards Asians is being justified on the basis that Asians aren't 'integrating' enough. Is this a justified basis to verbally abuse another person? Sure, there are groups of people of Asian descent who choose to have links with individuals who came from the same country, does that mean they aren't New Zealanders or integrating enough? My boyfriend is Polish, he's part of the small Polish community here,likes to speak Polish and meet people from his country of origin from time to time. Is it justifiable to say he is not integrating and should be subject to racism? It's obvious the man who is the center of this article was verbally abused based on his race, not on how integrated he was to the mainstream NZ community! It's shameful and needs to be addressed.
