travel alert: foreign visitor murdered in new zealand
A white supremacist has been jailed for at least 16 years in New Zealand for
murdering a South Korean hitchhiker. Prosecutors said Shannon Brent Flewellen and another man, Hayden McKenzie, strangled Kim Jae-hyeon after picking him up on a quiet road in 2003. Mr Kim was reported missing by his parents the following year when he failed to return to South Korea. McKenzie was jailed for a minimum of 21 years without parole in 2008 after pleading guilty to the murder. Judge John Fogarty said Flewellen had displayed clear racist beliefs since he was a teenager and that the killing showed "a high degree of callousness". "It was very significant that Mr Kim was Asian. You have white supremacist, neo-Nazi beliefs," he said. "You regarded him as not deserving of the same dignity and respect as a white person." Mr Kim was strangled to death in September 2003 while he was backpacking in the West Coast region of the country. His parents reported him missing in May 2004 but his remains were not returned to South Korea until 2008. |

So you think that something that happened seven years ago now deserves a "travel alert"???? Bob M. |

travel alert: foreign visitor murdered in new zealand
Every person, regardless of race or national origin, should be treated
with respect and dignity. However, the implication of the article is that aggressive racism is paramount amongst Caucasians in comparison to other races. In actuality, comparatively speaking,aggressive racism, concomitant with associate criminal acts, directed towards Caucasians is significantly higher amongst "minority" groups. Charles Darwin postulated that the more "primitive" a racial group, the more it tended to exhibit "tribalistic" characteristics such that those not a member of the "tribe" were not given the respect and dignity of those outside of the tribe. However, Koreans, as are the Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese are noted for their law abiding behavior. They, also, tend to have relatively high IQs. The same make them more "compatible" socially, culturally, and intellectually with Caucasians relative to other racial groups. I, personally, tend to get along extremely well with the same. |

travel alert: foreign visitor murdered in new zealand
On a vacation trip to New Zealand, I was visiting a local museum. A
Maori New Zealander, for some unknown reason, instantly, in the museum ,without any provocation, took an extremely hostile aggressive attitude towards me. I had to leave the museum. HE CONTINUED TO FOLLOW ME. I was then on the streets of the city which, as I remember it, was Wellington. I had to ask a policeman to stop the Maori from attacking me by restraining him so that I could get away. The New Zealand policeman, thankfully, did the same.The Maori are an New Zealand aboriginal non-Caucasian tribe. So you see racism against Caucasians by minorities often goes unreported as it is considered not unusual. |

If something is commonplace, it's not news. -- (This discussion group is about C, ...) Wrong. It is only OCCASIONALLY a discussion group about C; mostly, like most "discussion" groups, it is off-topic Rorsharch [sic] revelations of the childhood traumas of the participants... |
