From the dumbest fk on getbig, and someone who's clearly never visited Nz.
Maybe you're seeing what you want to see, or hearing what you want to hear?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_Zealand"At the latest census in 2013,
74.0 percent identified as European, 14.9 percent, as Māori, 11.8 percent as Asian, 7.4 percent as Pacific peoples, and 1.2 percent as Middle-Eastern, Latin American, and African (MELAA).[n 4][4]
Most New Zealanders are of English,[53] Scottish,[54] and Irish ancestry,[55] with smaller percentages of other European ancestries, such as Dutch, Dalmatian, French, German and Scandinavian.[56] Auckland was the most diverse region with 59.3 percent identifying as European, 23.1 percent as Asian, 10.7 percent as Māori, and 14.6 percent as Pacific Islanders.[57]"
This was in 2013, and NZ is never in the world news. What changed recently there, specifically as it relates to the population demographics?
I'm in no way justifying this madman and hope he gets the death penalty quickly. I'm just trying to point out that while rage about this is normal, it could turn even more tragic.
Diversity is great when it's used to assimilate the strengths of each group for the betterment of society or for a larger group (like at the workplace) Just opening the floodgates to a multitude of different beliefs that are not understood by places allowing it with reckless abandon is going to create more tragic stories like this one.
Stop to think rationally about things before calling people racists and other names when they are just trying to present rational thoughts, and statistical information. Emotions are what drove this guy to madness and killing innocent people.....not rational happy thoughts.
RIP to the victims and condolences to those affected. We can only hope this does not become a trend. We should also hope that FB and other social sites no longer allow livestreams from just anyone. There should be a process in place to get authorized to do one, and some verification that the person is not a psycho like this guy that would use it to show pure evil and hatred to the entire world.
