Indigenous rights vs Immigrant rights.

The rights of Indigenous and Immigrants can at times cross over and be very similar because of the Inferiority they are given socially to Caucasian culture. Indigenous rights means people who came first in their country should have their own rights, and these rights must also respect the rights of the Caucasian counterpart.

For example, If you see wardens on the train in New Zealand you will notice that there are Wardens who under any ethnicity can work and then there are Maori Wardens who are given different uniforms despite being given the same duties. It at times becomes very hard to distinguish with Immigrant rights because many Maori's and other immigrants live among each other in areas such as Otara and Ranui where the place is not necessarily seen as financially higher class.

Even the way they get treated, It comes to the point that many of them stop fighting and decide to come together because of their personal struggles. But Indigenous rights that are given within the country however is not globally recognized by the U.N and has only been recognized within the country. The presence of it exists but still is not established properly to become its own category without being mistaken for something else.

Middle Eastern Immigration to overstayers

Middle Eastern Immigration around the world has also been a controversial topic till this very day because It has not been established properly among other cultures and even the global market to be properly explored.

Middle Eastern communities are very large around the world, however the stigma around their culture makes people categorize Middle Eastern's as Muslims without realizing that Islam is a faith and religion and is not necessarily limited to any ethnicity. The only recognition that Middle Eastern communities have had over the global market was the refugee crises that occurred in Syria, terrorist attacks and Caucasian portrayals of Middle Eastern people in movies.

I believe the source of the issue that occurs with this is for the Muslim Community learning to adapt and apply their religious beliefs within the Western society. I am a Muslim who lives in the West and have encountered many Muslims who still talk badly about the West and how people should follow Islam, I have told them various times that they are not In an Islamic ran country so they need to learn to adapt their beliefs among the culture they live in so they can move forward in life.

What I say may not sound the greatest but I believe that If people can establish a way to apply the religion towards the culture, they are able to keep their religious traditions without being discriminated against. I believe there should be people who can publicly speak about it (of course not like Donald Trump) in ways where everyone can come along and make public agreements. The issue is that If anyone speaks out to solve the problem they are initially branded as racist and/or prejudice. But because there is very little open talks about it nothing gets resolved and Middle Eastern culture will not evolve to fit among the global market.

Pacific Island immigration

Pacific Island Immigration has played a big part in New Zealand culture and also plays a part globally in places such as America and Australia. Pacific Islanders now have established an existence among many other cultures which has contributed towards the global media, New Zealand holds the biggest number of Pacific Islanders where they are known for playing Rugby and other physical sports.

Pacific Island Immigration in the beginning however has often been misunderstood among many communities who interact with them, growing up as a middle eastern I lived among many Pacific Islanders and grew up being taught to hate them. But I came to New Zealand around a time where a lot of different cultures would immigrate here in order to find a better a life, and I understood that my culture faced discrimination as well whether it was racial or other ways of discrimination.

So I learnt to mingle with Pacific people because I learnt that it is good to not be hostile among those who face the same or similar prejudice by others. Pacific culture has been established in New Zealand so much that there are Pasifika groups in schools and universities and even pacific media such as Tala Pasifika and The laughing Samoans.

 The establishment of Pacific culture has even been recognized in the Global market with stars such as Dwane Johnson and Roman Reigns, even a show that has featured a big Pacific Island cast is Hawaii 5.0. I believe that Pacific Island culture has evolved so much that it is able to fit into mainstream media and stay true to the roots of their heritage.

Is Whiteness really a bad thing?

The subject of whiteness has caused many issues for people, such as how Caucasian people play roles that are usually non Caucasian or how we follow under Caucasian culture and way of thinking despite other cultures being seen as inferior.

While that maybe true there are a lot of benefits about Whiteness despite the negativity and stigma around it, due to whiteness there has been an establishment of how humans interact and how people are able to form groups, because in today's society closeted racism occurs everywhere even among non Caucasian communities. 

Nowadays we see less racist groups and more groups that are prejudice among other groups, for example; there are many groups among Christians such as Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal and even branches that are among those branches that all think the other group is wrong. Even among Muslims, there is a specific group called the Ahmadiyya who are a distinguished group of Muslims that branched out to be so different to mainstream Islam that it became its own religion.

I believe Whiteness is not the only problem in social media but its also how communities are formed, Whiteness is only the base of the issue about how humans are separated and categorized in different ways because the stigma in Whiteness has caused a closeted racism so it is not as obvious. The main issue is how communities act towards others close to their communities in order to get along in peace.
