Maybe I will take on the challenge tomorrow. Maybe not. A simple explanation would likely result in continuous objections of bias and interpretation. I don't think there is a way to address this without a complete explanation, which would be rather more extensive. Even then, there would probably be endless debate about true motivations and details of statistics and pushing certain agendas and such that would detract from any simple explanation.

I just find it a bit odd. I work at a Uni. Work with quite a few US expats.

Even the couple of ones I think are the biggest jerks I could pretty much guarantee would not do some group thing if one dumped a student just because they were Maori or whatever. Pretty much all are cool, cruisy people.

Having said that, maybe that is why they left lol

Just never understood some US peoples jumping to all their cops are racist.
