The irony of calling a government that is 35% Maori, white supremacists

The Herald reported:

National Māori Development minister Tama Potaka has defended Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s absence from the national hui-ā-iwi at Ngāruawāhia, where many speakers have attacked the new coalition government’s policies towards Māori.

He also described claims by speakers that the Government was underpinned by white supremacy as ‘premature’ and said he did not believe that.

Seven out of 20 Ministers are Māori, or 35%, and people think this is white supremacy – having three times as many Māori as their share of the adult population.

Wouldn’t it be nice if one could actually discuss different views on the Treaty, without ridiculous insults.
