Come on guys, I know it's bad enough out there in Toronto but please don't export your misfits to my shores!

Rhythm and Vines is an annual New Years Eve party festival near the beaches in Gisborne, New Zealand. It attracts many of New Zealand's best looking young people and a common phrase is "shredding for RnV". People often wear costumes which led to the organizers to use this photo from last year's event to promote the 2014 festival:





Most people who saw this photo would have had a reaction similar to Christian above and then carried on with their lives. We are lucky enough to be blessed with this Canadian lesbian cunt (I googled feminist insults but nothing too good came up, I chuckled when a RvF thread was the second result) who has made national media for her tweets containing self-flagellating guilt and despair:

Quote:

This poster fills me with rage & reduces me to tears. Such ugly cultural appropriation completely disrespectful!

Quote:

Williams said Kiwis were incredibly inclusive when it comes to indigenous people.

‘‘But then I see this and I’m ashamed.’’

I could speculate as to what would motivate her to cry foul over an inconsequential poster promoting an event where young and attractive people celebrate the new year and fornicate, but this photo really says it all:



Fortunately, the event organizers have not backed down.

Fun Fact (well just an opinion but opinion does rhyme): White canadian women love to be butthurt on behalf of native/indian/aboriginal/first nations peoples of Canada. I would say they are often more offended than the indian's themselves.

A normal human would have just forwarded the poster to an actual indian and let them freak out if they cared. Instead she jumps on the chance to align herself with Canada's biggest victims

So every time an Indian wears suit and tie for the picture the rest of the world gets mad?

Absolutely. Just like with other causes they espouse they care nothing about the cause itself. It's just posturing.

Actually, despite not at all being into "minority" issues, whatever they are, I would actually be very interested to see a "Native American" Canadian Prime Minister or even better US President. The other categories like first black president, first woman president, first gay president etc, etc. leave me cold. The only thing along those lines that would really indicate some sort of progress or paradigm shift would be the first Native American President (and a real one, not the fake white people who pretend to be Cherokee). It will never happen for various reasons, such as Native Americans not being a suitable voter ethnic bloc, but any talk of "progress" in race relations and patching up history without this happening is just hot air.

Slap that damn juicebox out of her hands.

Fatty.

I would also love to see a native canadian prime minister. They would be branded a sellout by the council of first nations while simultaneously being called a hero by non natives. The chance to implement all of the reforms that are claimed to be needed would be in their hands. I don't know if a native american president would be as significant, despite (in my opinion) being the most beaten down minority in america I feel like the slave history has been made to be more important. The indian removal act was only 30 years before the civil war, yet it remains a quiet peace of american history.

I think a native american governor in certain states would be more eyebrow raising, despite their government relationship being federal.

Hey I live in NZ. I havent been to RnV, how fun is it?

[Emancipator]

Looks like I should book a vacation to NZ for New Years.

Will pack first nations goods.

The uglies on the feminist and liberal wings love to scream cultural appropriation when it involves:
A) Hot Chicks dressing up
B) People having fun

Of course they have no problem with their faction's cultural appropriation when its used to strengthen their support of minority victims and white guilt. Go to any feminist's house and I guarantee they utilize minority culture in their decor with them claiming how "diverse and tolerant" they are in their support of minority culture.

If you do, we should have a meetup with all the NZ members. I live in Auckland.

Judging by her twitter she has jumped on identifying with the victim status of the indigenous population here too. Our race relations have traditionally been less fractured than in other colonies and the Maori recieve generous affirmative action and financial support but this beast purports to be victimized on behalf of them.

[Danos]

Damn. Mountains out of molehills, even if action is taken, rnv will still be the fuck fest it always is

[Surreyman]

What about if Chinese people dress as knights for fancy dress? Is that an insult to my ancestors?

[Foolsgo1d]

Just another example of social media giving harpies like this a bigger soapbox than they deserve.

[Texas_Tryhard]

Dat white guilt.

Although I doubt that's what's making her angry. I bet she's just pissed because the girls are hot and not naked, so she can't cry about objectification, so she's going for broke by calling it racist. What a dumb cunt.

I've had some good times on new years at Takaka hill near Nelson. Any idea how these 2 compare with each other?

[draguer]

Takaka attracts more of a hippy alternative crowd whereas RnV would have a wider spectrum with bogan, douchebags and normal types.

Cheers. Gisbornes good fun all summer (and maybe all year round, but only been there in summer) so the festival itself would be a blast.

There's definitely the hippies and alternative types at Takaka, but the north coast of the south island, Nelson, motueka, kaiteriteri etc is awash with European backpackers at that time of year, and that's more like what I saw at takaka. Plus, kiwi women don't mind giving it up.

:'( My Italian heritage is appropriated every time a man dons a schnazzy suit and drives in a convertible.

Huh - great point. I think you're absolutely right, a native american PM or President in Canada/USA would be a huge indicator of a very big cultural shift.
