Matilda no longer reads Rudyard Kipling – that imperial old brute! – but Jane Austen. One of Dahl’s witches who posed as ‘a cashier in a supermarket’ is now a ‘top scientist’. We wouldn’t want any young witch to feel that the STEM subjects aren’t for her. Words like ‘crazy’ and ‘mad’ have been excised, lest they appear to make light of mental-health problems. Even such everyday words as black and white are out. Characters no longer turn ‘white with fear’ and the Big Friendly Giant no longer wears a ‘black cloak“.

The Senior Lead Māori will focus on two critical pieces of work led out of the Māori Directorate. The first is to act as Pharmac's lead for an external project aiming to identify, map and analyse racism and bias across Pharmac, and to further develop measures to monitor removal of bias and racism in our systems.
Nice, ethnonationalism is growing

Just change the name of the dog and be done with it. Call it Darkie or something, I don't care.

Use an orange coloured brindle-coated dog and call it tigger.

I don't know about you, but I don't think Tusiata Avia likes honkeys that much.

Yeah, acclaimed writer and New Zealand Order of Merit recipient Tusiata Avia mustn't like you because what she's saying makes you feel uncomfortable

Why would I feel uncomfortable? Was it the wind chimes in the background?

Can’t have an assassin who works on behalf of a imperialist colonising power use racist language, that would never do

No different to the Dr Seus "scandal" from a little while back: This is all marketing. The left will happily buy the censored version (which while not historically pure is closer to in line with modern sensibilities) while the right will buy up "to preserve the historically accurate version and own the libs"...

And Netflix makes bank.

Transition as a right? Yep, cool with that.

Transition as a REPRODUCTIVE right? Uh... something got lost in translation there methinks.
