Sack Marama Davidson!

You seem to be hell bent on labelling her a racist, and that's fine, it's your opinion.  

I don't agree - it was inappropriate and dumb thing to say, but I don't see this as evidence of racism - context is everything and you seem to be ignoring all context in favour of focusing on the word 'white' - one could speculate why that is?

I put it in the same category as Luxon calling out 'bottom feeders' - dumb, inappropriate, insensitive even, but in and of itself not really discriminatory against the lower classes... 

Now, repeated offences would tend to indicate a pattern of behaviour and might be a different story which i'll form a judgement on at the time...

So if dumb and inappropriate then she should have apologised publicly for the comment.   She hasn't.

I don't think it meets the level she should resign or be taken off the portfolio - but an apology would have been appropriate. 

And you ask why I am focusing on the "white" part?  Easy - any time some picks out a skin colour in an statement be that white, brown, black, yellow or copper it is unhelpful.  

I ask again - if a politician said only brown people kill their babies would your reposnse be the same?

well you've escalated the scenario by including killing and babies, but again context is everything, so probably yes but depends...  Ask me when it happens...
