While I have to say that as personalities differ, so does
tolerance towards others with different values and social beliefs regardless of
race or religion. While some immigrants bring a piece of their own culture and
assimilate into New Zealand society peacefully without any inconvenience, there
remain those who fail to appropriately follow the accepted social traditions in
the form of New Zealand’s cultural norms and go as far as to create tension
between local communities throughout New Zealand’s society. Those at fault are
not just immigrants but many Kiwi’s as well. However this problem seems to always revolve around someone of a foreign nation.
If you’re female and
were to travel to certain areas of the Middle East wearing a revealing clothing then I’m sure your safety
would very much be under threat, whereas if you were in New Zealand and refused
to show your face or concealed it in some way
your punishment would be a slap on the wrist and maybe some media coverage saying
how bad that person is for not allowing you the right to dress freely.
Of course if you’re of Maori or Pacific Island descent, I’m sure you would be
asked which house you robbed. One can understand how this really doesn’t
reflect all too well on New Zealand’s society.
