    I’m so incredibly sick of this mentality, and it needs to change.

    Just because one group of people have been treated poorly in the past, doesn’t mean the solution is to treat a different group badly in response. Tit for Tat isn’t the way forward.

      They are saying statistically some ethnicities are sicker than others and they should be looked at earlier. Nothing wrong with that.

        They already treat the sickest first though, why the change?

          “At a basic fundamental level, when a Māori patient hits that surgical wait list they’re already far behind their non-Māori counterparts."

          Seems pretty straight-forward to me.

            That sounds like utter bullshit to me, we should be trying to fix the underlying system, rather than countering perceived racism with more racism.

              It’s not “perceived”, it’s measurable.

          Do they though?

          If the triage was being done correctly there would be no need for a change in policy. Obviously it’s not and obviously it’s hurting some ethnicities more than others.

            So why not fix the underlying issue, rather than try and fix the racism with more racism?

              maybe this is a way to fix the racism. Can you think of any other way to fix racism?

                Not being racist in the first place, rather than trying to even things out with a different type of racism?

                Didn’t you read my first comment?

                  I did read it. Are you saying we can solve this problem by simply eliminating racism from the planet?

                    That’s a pretty munted reply, to be honest. Yes, the solution is less racism.
