Rick Ellis is just doing his job

For the life of me, I cannot see what's wrong with what Rick Ellis said about a commitment to showing Maori on TV including programmes about crime and prisons. Surely they fulfill a commitment to showing Pakeha too. This kind of nonsensical outrage is the result of state racism - no more, no less. Content quotas based on race, gender, or nationality are stupid. And the politics around them is inane.

Did the knee-jerk morally outraged types ever consider that on these shows there are a hell of a lot of Maori policemen and prison officers?

noooo...
