'Most so called privileges are not privileges at all but measures against discrimination.”
On the same page we had a letter from Wendy Galloway telling how her son had come home from school being upset he had Maori blood.
She wrote: 'Reason being all those with Maori blood were asked to go to a special assembly where information on scholarships, grants, etc were offered to Maori students. He went to race relations and said this was racial but of course was ignored.”
Later in the same letter at Auckland Medical University he again learnt that he was required to treat Maori patients differently to anyone else.
But the fascinating bit of this letter was the last sentence in the first paragraph. 'Amazingly not many Maori took up the grants or scholarships.” I await Peter Dey's reply to the above in eager anticipation.
