I never intended in any way whatsoever to suggest that NZ's race relations were saintly and pure. Ever.
But just because it's not perfect does not mean that it is equivalent to the Australian stolen generation scenario and I actually resent, mightily, the suggestion that I'm being "smug" (as your friend posted in her response to you).
NZ is not ideal but it *WAS* better, and is consistently working to be A LOT better. Just because I'm Pakeha doesn't mean I'm evil by default you know.
