Rawiri Waititi

The self-hating grifter who profits off division

Rawiri Waititi has once again exposed his deep-rooted racism, this time by sharing a vile anti-white video to his Instagram. The clip featured an American interviewer asking Black people what white people are good at, with responses including: “violence,” “genocide,” “stealing people's lives,” and “ignorance.”

Rawiri Waititi, like many Māori in this country, has more European ancestry than Māori. He hides behind a moko and a political costume to pass himself off as something he’s not. If we’re being honest, his Māori identity has become a business model. The moko isn’t a sign of cultural pride, it’s a mask for someone who likely wouldn’t stand out in a lineup of average Pākehā without it.

You’d be forgiven for thinking he and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer swing by the spray tan salon every Thursday for a top-up of "Ngāti Bronze 7." It’s all theatre. Cultural cosplay designed to boost their victimhood credentials and more importantly, their paycheques.

Waititi is the textbook definition of a professional grifter. In all his time in Parliament, can anyone name a single positive contribution he’s made?

Waititi has built his entire persona on a lie. He rails against white people while being majority European himself. He panders to historical grievance while living off the taxpayer dollar. And all the while, he refuses to do the one thing an elected representative is meant to do: serve the country.

Perhaps his bitterness stems from an identity crisis. Deep down, maybe what really haunts Rawiri Waititi is the fact that he’s not the revolutionary he pretends to be. He’s just another angry activist who has built a career out of blaming others, especially the white New Zealanders who make up part of his own heritage.

If he had to stand on merit alone, instead of racial grievance, he’d be invisible. He knows it
