diversity among nz people
New Zealand has come a long way in accepting ethnic diversity and cultural difference.
Multiculturalism is a reality in today’s ethnically diverse societies. As globalisation increases so too does migration as people settle in new countries for a better life. At the same time dangerous conflicts are increasing forced migration. Our societies are becoming culturally, ethnically, linguistically and religiously diverse.
New Zealand may have ’symbolic biculturalism,’ however Pakeha New Zealanders are still, unwilling to redistribute their resources.
In theory, the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 secured equality and respect between Maori and the Crown (and therefore its British subjects). It was also the starting point for New Zealand's evolution of inter-ethnic relations.
An example of ethnic conflict occurred between Maori and Pakeha in 2004 over public access of the Foreshore and Seabed of New Zealand. The Court of Appeal addressed this on the premise that as part of the Treaty, Maori were entitled to “redress past injustices”. Yet some New Zealanders saw this as a violation of equality and insisted the past had no relevance to the present. In the end, their redress was denied.
