Reference: DCDL-0018769
Description: A man enters a 'Tanning Salon' with a newspaper in his hand that has a headline that reads 'Margaret Mutu - white immigration should be restricted.' He says to the woman at the reception desk 'The full treatment - I'm looking to emigrate to New Zealand.' Context: Margaret Mutu, head of Auckland University's Maori studies department, is standing by her claim in last weekend's Sunday Star-Times that immigrants from countries such as South Africa brought white supremacist attitudes with them. Some immigrants say they feel less and less welcome in New Zealand, as anger grows at Maori academic Margaret Mutu's controversial call to cut white immigration. The Race Relations office has received 30 complaints about Mutu's comments and there have been calls for her sacking, but the university is backing her right to free speech. Margaret Mutu says her comments about white immigration cannot be racist because she is not in a position of power. Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres earlier said there was no justification for anybody to discriminate on the basis of colour, race or national origin. He dismissed the idea that the ability to be racist depended on a person's position of power. (Stuff 7 September 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
