The government in New Zealand give the Maori special treatments like benefits,health services, special entry for only pacific and maori students,and the list continues on, from the psych lecture today,maori are "traumatised" by the adapting to a different culture,'Acculturation'-which gives them acculturation stress-that results in negative mental stress.I just cant help but only see it as excuses for their bad behaviour. They cry out for injustice,prejudice and racism,but still ask for special treatment!Special treatment will only isolate them from everyone else who's also trying very hard to make a living!Cant anyone see the cycle will never break unless the NZ govt treat everyone equally!Hostility towards them will never end, the elder Maori will only teach their children nothing but give reasons to make excuses,no wonder the Maori are decreasing in numbers, we shouldnt treat them so well so that they can learn to stand up themselves so they can be good role models for their nxt gen
