Stupid white people!

Stuff reports:

“White people are stupid” and “can be fooled easily” according to a Green Party candidate who also labelled her opponent, Labour Minister Priyanca Radhakrishnan, “****ing useless” and an “incompetent” minister. 

Greens co-leader James Shaw was unaware of his Maungakieie candidate, Sapna Samant’s, tweets when asked about them during an interview on the Tova podcast.

Shortly after the interview, Samant protected her tweets so that only approved followers could access her posts.

Now imagine if an ACT Party candidate had said black people are stupid” and can be “fooled easily” and called a Labour Minister “f***ing useless”. This would again lead every news outlet for days and days. There would also be an online Lynch mob writing into their professional body demanding they be deregistered.

Kudos to Stuff for reporting this but so far Google News doesn’t show any other news outlet covering this.
