> There are large pockets of Indian and Chinese people who refuse to integrate into society. Refusing to learn English and creating places with their own language and being less welcome to outsiders.

As another New Zealander, I could say the same but replacing "Indian and Chinese" with "Maori and Samoan". I still respect that their right to live there is no less than mine.

Outside of Auckland it's less like that tho. My family lives in dargaville and have Maori and islander Neighbours who are Super Friendly and helpful. My parents love them.

Aren't Maori native to NZ? If anything the assimilation by this definition should be the other way round. I'm all for assimilation, btw

I Guess you have to live in NZ to really understand. In Auckland, a lot of Maoris treat everyone like crap. Outside of Auckland they are Super nice people.
