The post that was quoted here has been removedIt’s not Stone Age culture it’s modern day Māori culture that is constantly being appropriated by Europeans and N Americans. Tattoos have nothing to do with the Stone Age.
I cannot believe your this sensitive, are you worried that they are going to make it compulsory and why are you monitoring newscasters in New Zealand, you must spend a lot of time looking for things to get upset about.
@vivify saidFalse analogy.
So is religion. Do we ban religious items like crosses worn as jewelry from news broadcasts? Or how about banning stone-aged religious views from being shared on the news?
If you're going rail against "primitive stone age culture", don't cherry-pick.
Big difference between wearing a cross or Star of David and tattooing your face, putting a bone in your nose, or whatever.
@vivify saidIf you have to ask then it'd be pointless to explain.
What's the "big difference" between a face tattoo and wearing a cross (a device used to torture and execute people) around your neck?
People are being tortured and executed on crosses?
Not lately, and it wasn't Christians doing that by the way, it was being done TO Christians.
Edit: Look up images of Māori face tattoos and get back to me on how you don't see any difference between that and wearing a piece of jewelry.

Funny how those 'savages' managed to live in their region for 50 THOUSAND years till whitey showed up, how do you think we are managing the planet compared to those dudes 50K years ago?
Largest mass extinctions in millions of years caused 100% by the greed of mankind.
WHITE mankind.
Yep, we are SO superior to those tatoo'd savages.
@dood111 saidA) Jesus was plotted to be executed by people who shared the *same* religion as him (Pharisees). So you have no point there.
People are being tortured and executed on crosses?
Not lately, and it wasn't Christians doing that by the way, it was being done TO Christians.
B) Notice how you're going out your of way to justify symbols of "primitive throwbacks to a savage stone age culture"? In your mind, this is okay; same for the Maori. You're just exercising bigotry.
@Dood111
Well, it MIGHT be because she represents folks like her who LIKE to see a Maori as a newscaster.
So you don't like it, go back to Newsmax and Fox, you will be able to see ALL the latest BS conspiracy theories there, without the need to do actual truth, Fox and Newsmax HATES the truth so you are in good company.
