Is there racial discrimination in New Zealand?

Racial discrimination also exists in New Zealand.

Now people have become very open-minded and will not obviously discriminate against Maori.

In fact, most of the time, whites do not discriminate against Maori races. They just hate fools who can't help. Some people don't make progress, and spend all day on government benefits. Such people are found in white Maori and even in China, and their dignity is earned by their own efforts. Some Maori children go to college through their own struggle, receive education and become the pillars of society. Such people are highly respected. But then again, just like China's preferential policies for ethnic minorities, the government also gives many preferential policies to Maori. For example, there are several seats reserved for Maori in parliament, and universities must maintain a certain proportion of Maori students, so that if universities do not have enough outstanding Maori students, they can enroll students at will. This policy is called positive discrimination in English, of course, students of other races will not be happy. What do you think is the basis for the government to give preferential treatment to Maori and Maori?
