Helen Clark is excellent at apologizing. She should be outsourced to run the NUN [New United Nations] and could apologize to everyone for everything. I doubt that there is anybody who doesn't deserve several apologies for what their ancestors have suffered. Perhaps Bill and Helen could do a double act - two for the price of one. < Asians are no good at apologizing, so the obvious solution is... outsourcing> Isn't that a very racist thing to say? A nasty stereotype. One is only allowed to make positive generalisations about ethnic groups. For example, "Maoris are a very intelligent race with great mana" is approved as a good thing to say. Saying they are "a race of thieving, violent rogues, taking up half the prison space", is not. Oddly, saying "Europeans are a very intelligent race" is considered poor form, smacking of racial superiority, but "Maoris are a very intelligent race" is not. Mqurice PS: Note the excellent and prolific use of the r-word.
