It concerns me, as it should most other New Zealanders that in the issue of The Weekend Sun 28 July, there were a total of five letters expressing dissatisfaction with the seemingly preferential treatment being given to Maori. This is a worry to myself as well. But the more serious concern is that these reactions are an indication of the emergency of racialism in this country.
Whether we, as New Zealanders want it or not, I fear we are heading towards the path of racial unrest. The only answer is to treat all people on a level playing field.
