This leads then to several questions I would like an answer to please.
1. Is the donning of another cultures attire based on relative or absolute loss or injury ?
- If it is relative is there a hierarchy of cultures to be appropriated
- If it is absolute how many people are required to be injured/killed before it is appropriate ?
2. Is wearing religious garb appropriate for an agnostic ?
- She quit the church as the faith did not accept homosexuals so is it appropriate to wear the garb of another religion that does not accept homosexuals
3. As a precedent has now been set by the PM will people of all races/cultures/religions enjoy the same level of 'respect' ? Foreseeable hypotheticals-
- How does one dress when catholic clergy are charged for pedophilia - Rosemary beads ? Crucifix ? Altar boy ?
- Terrorist runs down shoppers killing/injuring Maoris - kaitaka? Tikumu ?
Extreme hypotheticals -
- A bus of Nigerians drives of a cliff in NZ - Blackface ?
- Ukranian white supremacy convention in Aukland is firebombed - Totenkopf cap ?
