To Mr Dey of Welcome Bay:
One man's 'quibble” is another man's 'atrocity.” The correct intent of the Treaty is shown in the authenticated Littlewood Treaty. The Pakeha privilege you exemplify is, in your words, 'Pakeha students have the privilege of being taught mostly by Pakeha teachers.” Surely you are not inferring that Maori teachers are not as competent. Ordinary school classes do not consist only of Pakeha pupils. All ethnic groups are catered for. The only ethnically divisive classes are in Te Reo schools.
I feel your phrase ' in a Pakeha dominated society” should more accurately be ' in a predominantly Pakeha society.” It doesn't take a mathematical genius to perceive that at 15% Maori are not going to be predominant in our country. If one took into account the percentage of Maori ethnicity in the average Maori they wouldn't represent anywhere near 15% of the population. In fact many Maori have more Celtic, English or Dalmatian blood than Maori.
If Pakeha are so privileged in this Democracy why does the current committee set up to consider a Constitution for New Zealand have half of the members coming from 15% of the population. That doesn't seem like privilege to me.
