One of the strands of being really busy is finally resolved and open to public view: the Diversity Issues<\/a> page on the Issues.co.nz<\/a> site. This has been a long-term idea for my work at the Centre for Applied Cross-cultural Research, dating back to some attempts way back in ’04 to develop a better way to communicate about cultural diversity outside of the academic sphere.<\/p>\n

The specific impetus was the well-received report by CACR and the Human Rights Commission, launched at the Diversity Forum last Monday, about the experience of discrimination by Asians in NZ<\/a>. It’s a great report, easy to read, and worth at least a glance by every New Zealander. Here it is on Slideshare:<\/p>\n

Of particular interest to the From the Morgue audience, I think, are parts 3.2 and 3.3, about employment access – the comments of recruitment companies (in 3.2, page 12) are shocking and the study where the same C.V. was sent out with either a Chinese name or a European name (page 14) matches it.<\/p>\n

Overall it produces a pretty rough picture, but also the message is clear that Asians in NZ aren’t being destroyed by this consistent unfairness. They’re happy here, and happy to be here. That’s good to know, as they’re a huge demographic group in this country and growing all the time.<\/p>\n

So I hope you’ll check out the report, and pop over to the Diversity Issues site<\/a> to look around there and maybe to add a comment. Discussions online are always hard to foster so any contributions would be welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
