Once Jordan Williams discovered racism made the TU tills ring, he went at it boot-and-all, tearing at the social fabric of Aotearoa to profit himself and his dirty little hard right cabal. Untold damage ensued. Genuinely sickening.

The conservative and far right are intent on getting DEI for homophobes, transphobes, racists and other assorted bigots by arguing that the belief that other people aren't people or don't deserve rights should be given equal protection like those offered to victims of those bigotries.
