racism

Stuff tells us:

There were 81 prisoners with white power gang affiliations as of June 30 - up from 53 in 2015 and 71 in 2017, according to information gleaned via the Official Information Act.

 It doesn't tell us the number of those with non-white gang affiliations (more than 81 I'm guessing) but goes on:
 

White power prisoners, often skinheads, get a hard time from Māori and Pacific Island inmates, who make up a disproportionate percentage of the population, he said.
"If you're a baldy, you get targeted."

and

"It is likely that the current demographic of most prison units acts as a deterrence for right-wing activity."

I can only interpret this as corrections being racially and politically biased towards lefties and non-whites, failing (deliberately, by the tone) to protect those who's thoughts they disagree with.

A disgraceful bias that can only be described as racial discrimination.

Where is the celestial fellow who is paid to ensure this discrimination doesn't continue?
