Immigrate? Ha! You must be joking...!
For anyone in Asia to call these NZ observations as somehow xenophobia is the hight of hypocracy...
Asians live by the ultimate rules of relativism - "you profess you believe in diversity but I don't. So I can demand you to accept cultural multiculturalism but I don't need to abide to abide by them myself". I see it all the way in my former home.
This is a sick thinking paradigm.
