Dear Mr Selwyn,As someone with a preamoindnt Anglo-Saxon name, I am sure you are aware of the injustices done by your White ancestors to indigenous peoples. I am wondering how you may be offended by the word "coon" when that applies to African-Americans, which I am assuming from your photo you are not. As someone with ancestry that Gormsby mocks, I personally was not offended by Gormsby. I found it to be a brilliant relief from the 'shoved down your throat' PC rubbish that students suffer from today. Having went to a school like that depicted in the show (With a Polynesian majority) Most Maoris that I spoke to also found this show to be humourous. Now you may claim that I do not speak for all Maoris, such as your previous posts to another user. Since you seem to think you are, I will leave that position to you.I would also like to point out that having watched all the shows, the 'racist colonial' Gormsby actually respected and cared for the students far better than the guidance counsellor Steve (who apparently is Maori?)I am also wondering that if it is so racist, why did the non European students chose to appear on it? Perhaps they are simple New Zealanders who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves.I would suggest you investigate issues carefully before you make such judgements. Those sort of ideas belong to Facists.
