OPINION:
Meri Kirihimete. What better way to celebrate Christmas than to look at some of this year's cases of "ho ho no" - be it cultural appropriation, or racial discrimination. Identity politics and human rights
are fraught areas to discuss, particularly as they also bring to light issues around representation, and virtue signalling.
And for every complaint of tone-deaf marketing and discrimination, there will be screeds of potential perpetrators who can't handle the discomfort and who scream "political correctness-gone mad" from the rooftops.
