I believe it's far worse in NZ atm, over here if you're a maori than you are not only gaurunteed entry to certain Tertiary institutions but some university courses are free [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

Say I wanted to become a primary school teacher, because I'm a Whitey I'd have to pay approx $30,000 over the space of three years for course related costs. If I was a maori than that would be another $30,000 that I could put towards buying a house (or a really nice car

)

No, I don't think it's fair, but I spose if they are needing more maori primary school teachers than they are going the right way about it.
