        Also good point. I guess New Zealand has been making strides by they are still having issues.

        Just funny to note because a lot of Americans view Europe as like this Ultra free place that has none of the issues the US has.

          New Zealand recently just punished three politicians harshly for doing the Haka. They were protesting a proposed law to strip special constitutional privileges for the Maori stemming from the original colonial treaties. Those old British colonizers were apparently too respectful to the rights of the indigenous people for modern conservatives.
