@PaulaCrosswell@CullenKehoe@ievlys Maori experience significantly higher rates of type 2 diabetes (twice as likely) and cardiovascular disease than non-Maori, with studies identifying specific genetic factors like amylin gene mutations linked to diabetes risk in about 7% of Maori populations.
@ievlys I’m calling bull crap on that article. I would love to see a research study where ten people who have Māori names and appear Maori and ten who have western names and are white all go through hospital for similar reasons. The Māori will get more attention.
@jacktame Great use of mental gymnastics. To take KPIs written to ensure positive action and turn them into a negative in order to smite the government is so typical of you.
@TheRedbaiter@sundancethecat I joined the NZ Conservative Party. Pity they don’t attract the same media attention that TOP does though. Colin Craig seems to have left a bad taste behind.
