Raema Merchant, yet another lying apologist for maori kid-killers:

Posted on March 11, 2012 by KG

‘More and more New Zealanders believe child abuse is a cultural issue despite statistics showing that abuse does not discriminate between cultures, a social work lecturer says.
Raema Merchant, a social work lecturer at the Eastern Institute of Technology, said it was unclear how the public had developed a perception that it was a Maori issue.
(silly public…influenced by the endless parade of pictures of dead maori kids in New Zealand newspapers. Unsophisticated fools.)
Her masters thesis at Massey University found about half of the children killed in New Zealand died at the hands of a Pakeha abuser…’
Master’s thesis?? What the hell has Massey University become, that work of this kind is acceptable?  Maori are abusing and killing their kids at a vastly greater RATE than white Kiwis. Take a look at the crap methodology employed, and the only possible conclusion is that even a social work lecturer can’t possibly be this dimwitted.  It surely must be dishonesty, designed to cover up the truth.

    This isn’t the most salient point to your post, but one thing I’ve noticed is that any time a news item or commentary piece uses the phrase “more and more”, such as in this newspaper item’s context “more and more New Zealanders”, it means that what follows is a gross generalisation without any evidence to back it up. If something was definitively quantifiable, such as nebulous phrase wouldn’t be needed.

    Mark my words! Next time you see this phrase, it will be the same situation – a generalisation without supporting evidence.

      …. and further to this point, it usually is an appeal to emotion rather than reason. Genuine evidence can speak for itself – flimsiness uses vague language like what I’ve described.

    I never noticed that before, St Hubbins, but you’re right. And it’s lazy journalism as well.

    ‘Pakeha’- a name I find offensive, keep paying for it. Social workers are to child protection what tits are to a bull.
    I know from media that in one dead whanau case a dozen social worker groups knew of the violent dysfunction prior.
    I read of a Republican Senator who plans to make solo mums at least partly culpable in child abuse cases. See if i can find a link-

    Should one of the defenders of this dishonest cow poke it’s head in here, instead of sending it to the spam bin as usual, I’ll leave the comment up and sit back to watch as CR readers pull the wings off it. :popcorn

    Good grief! From the comments thread in the “crap methodology” link above, something by a cretinous clown called “Jinny”:
    “This argument fails to acknowledge that there are no full blooded Maori in New Zealand. Given the stats that indicate child abuse is also a pakeha problem, perhaps it’s not the Maori side of the individual, but in fact the pakeha side that is displaying the abusive behaviour?”
    :roll

    The truly terrifying thing is the thought that “jinny” may breed and vote! :shock:

    I think most stuff goes over “Jinny’s” head.

    Without even bothering to gain altitude :roll

    Surely, there must be a gigantic scandal behind the qualifications of a hell of a lot of maori “academics”? So many of them appear to be thick-as-pigshit racists who can barely string a couple of coherent sentences together.
    Who is awarding the degrees and PhD’s? Do the Brown Clowns actually have to meet real academic standards, or is tribal affiliation and ideology the measure?

    Take a day off-and look at all of the posts I had to ‘catch up on! ( – :

    The word – VICTIM -comes to mind as the tenor for all of them-(the posts that is)…
    Create a victim class (women-Maori-islam-homosexuals -blacks et al) and you have the ‘necessity’ of govt ‘intervention’- hate crime legislation-and constant-lawsuits-to ‘protect’ the poor “victims”-

    Keep waiting for the sane folks of the world to wake up !

    Why all the fuss over Massey!!! My Favourite Academic is from there :mrgreen:

    Go to the source:
    A “maori academic” employed by a lightweight regional NZ polytech whose dissertation’s conclusions were [sure as hell] formed before the writing began.

    And yes, Mickey Mouse designed the research methodology. Big Ups there Mickey!

    It’s high time for some research into academic standards and an insistence on quantitative rather than qualitative research design. “Grounded research” has proved itself to be a load of dogwash.

    “Surely, there must be a gigantic scandal behind the qualifications of a hell of a lot of maori “academics”?”

    It’s getting to be like Islam: the words “Islam” and/or “Maori”, and the word “academic”, should not appear in the same sentence, they are mutually exclusive. ;-)

    ““This argument fails to acknowledge that there are no full blooded Maori in New Zealand.”

    Ah the eternal “get-out” clause which, translated, means “I am/am not Maori depending on whether or not there’s money in it.” :x

    • KG says:

      Exactly. Not just money, either. The benefits include reflexive deference by European Kiwis to whatever garbage some brownie spouts. I never heard anybody in all my time in NZ stand up and challenge the crap they spout, and when I did I was met with public disapproval and hostility by people who privately agreed with what I was saying!

    To be fair, dissertation writers are sometimes not exactly the cream of the crop and I would expect this fact to apply in the case of someone in the social sciences field employed at a regional community college trotting out Level 6 [tops] courses to equally unenterprising “learners”. The weak methodology is good evidence of this candidate’s weak intellect and poor academic preparation for post-graduate research.

    So, it’s better to put the heat on the real culprits: name and shame the dissertation’s supervisor and moderators at Massey. It’s their responsibility to set and maintain quality standards.

      Very true, Flashman. But it doesn’t hurt to burst their little bubble of inflated self-importance at every opportunity. These clowns “graduate” without the slightest awareness of just how little they know.
