Is this the wettest wokest yet?

The Herald reports:

The literature review found that “‘bias' has become a scapegoat for not addressing racism directly and the literature shows that the New Zealand Police and the criminal system have been uncomfortable with racism and the legacy of imperialism“.

It said “a legacy of eurocentrism, neoliberalism and white supremacy” had become a “core component of policing delivery and the criminal justice system”.

“These negative impacts have shown that anyone who does not fit into the colonial ideal of Pākehā hetero-patriarchy seem more likely to be harmed by the New Zealand Police.”

Very impressive that the Police managed to get imperialism, neoliberalism and hetero-patriarchy into the one report.
