I dont see why Maori should be discriminated against by dealing with people that dont know the tikanga, non-kiwi dont have the understanding of whanau concepts, with maori its not about the individual there is a whole community that you will be dealing with also totally different dynamics to western thinking and practices. You have taken it on as an insult but it isnt.
"In the last week, Psychology lecturer Dr Linda Nikora was kind enough to inform a lecture room full of keen students that a number of placements would be available in the clinical psychology programme.
One little catch though. Dr Nikora is proposing that the limited places are restricted to Maori only as she does not believe any Pakeha (Europeans) are culturally competent to deal with Maori health issues".
I don't see why people of Africans, Asians and European decent should be discriminated against.
