Media Statement
Kenneth Wang
ACT Party Deputy Leader
Winston is not funny
"Mr Peters may think it is funny to tell weak racist jokes but it is not funny to New Zealand's Chinese community" said ACT's Deputy Leader Kenneth Wang.
"Everytime time Mr Peters stirs up anti Chinese feeling he gives racists in the community encouragement to attack Chinese. I have reports of Chinese women being abused in the street. Young louts going into Chinese shops to abuse shop keepers. These statements by Mr Peters are very hurtful to New Zealand's Chinese community.
Mr Winston Peters is well aware that he is playing the race card. My advice to my fellow New Zealanders is it is time Mr Peters was retired."
