The saddest thing, for me, about David Seymour using violent rhetoric targeting our Māori and Pacific tāngata to attract votes in Aotearoa NZ, the land that was settled peacefully - John Key - Nov 2014, is that it wil probably be effective in attracting voters who will deny their racism by suggesting people can't take a joke and further normalising the racism that Taika Waititi received a huge backlash from the right for daring to point out. #GiveNothingToRacism #NZPol
David Seymour and the ACT Party need to be called out for their increasing vilent rhetoric and use of stochastic terrorism to target vulnerable racial groups in NZ. There's absolutely no place for political violence in NZ. NZPol #GiveNothingToRacism
Worth reading on #Racism / anti-indigenous comments and attitudes. Thanks @KarenWyld

@Kay I understand your point but honestly, I have never tolerated racism regardless of where I find it. I was tooting how I feel about racism, particularly when it is weaponised against Māori in their homeland. I wish a few more people were prepared to take a stand. #GiveNothingToRacism #NZPol
@RoddersClassics Sad to see Act choose to single out and target Māori in Te Whatu Ora efforts to address the very poor health outcomes for NZ's Māori, Pacifika, rural residents, farmers, low income earners and vital bread winners for the reactionary racist vote. The high-calibre Māori reaching out to Luxon wouldn't qualify for consideration either. #GiveNothingToRacism #NZPol
Was just talking with a non Pākehā Nat voting friend who told me Nat's targeting of Māori for votes is inexcusable.
I asked, "So who will you be supporting now?"
I'll still vote National, I just want a tax cut.
So racism is excusable?
Well as long as you stand to personally benefit it seems.
The response was a shrug, the conversation kinda ended.

Julian Batchelor is making racist arguments against what he thinks co-governance is. There’s a petition on change.org to hold him accountable for his racist acts https://chng.it/SnVqvdzPnG #GiveNothingToRacism
A friend of mine is a big fan of The Fabric Store, and is even a bigger fan after finding these resources on their website. It'd be great if more businesses were so explicit in their stance.
Waitangi Day 2023: Let's count the number of ways people say "I'm not racist, but" without actually saying those words. #GiveNothingToRacism
@tehamua, your toot immediately brought this to mind. I wrote a paper on it.
"In response to Chris Luxon’s comment about potential gang members ‘sitting in a garage in South Auckland’, artist-curator Ema Tavola shares some photos of people who visited her own garage over the years."
