71 percent of Māori with a Māori name, most (53 percent) had to explain or spell their name regularly.
As someone with an uncommon name that sounds similar to a common name; I regularly have to spell my name. I have even been "corrected" to the correct spelling twice. My partner who is not of European descent....she has to spell her last name all the time.
I wouldn't class that as racism. However...
For example, when shopping or seeking services, 89 percent of Māori said they were less likely to receive assistance because they were Māori, and most had been followed, watched or asked to open their bags in a shop. A quarter of those surveyed said they were followed all the time or often.
Is straight up racism; and needs to be nipped in the bud.
Esme is awesome, the picture of uncompromising competence.
Lord Vetinari, doesn't like how the world works, but works the world until it is better.
Sam, has such a great character arc.
No. If you are actively searching for something, and go to a specific place that sells that thing. It is not advertising, the active party is you not them.
The problem is when the active party is the ad-networks, the trackers, the junk pushers.
If I go to a review site, for say lawn mowers, and they say hey brand 1 is great, but brand 2 is better because of 'reasons'; I am active, engaging in the process. If however, I then go to a site that is about tigers, and brand 3 pushes their ad to intrude on the tiger info....this (in my opinion) is a major intrusion into my private space.
I don't care about the idiot parents, but the kids have no choice, a lot will suffer and some will die. All because their parents have believed a bunch of lies, no critical thinking was involved.
The first information revolution, is somewhat equivalent. With the invention of the printing press, distribution of information became an order of magnitude cheaper.
Literal months of work to produce a single copy, became a few hours to setup the movable type, then produce as many copies as you want.
Daily gazettes became a thing that was possible to do.
Autism isn't real, it is a conspiracy to pathologise otherwise normal human behaviour, to sell vast amounts of pharmaceutical products. It's targeted at kids, because they are less articulate and can't effectively argue that there is nothing wrong with them. The really insidious part is that after a while the kids believe it.

Police Association response
He makes a good point here, police get assaulted and they are expecting to deal with these situations.
Reduce poverty and improve the lives of people, we can't punish our way out of crime.
