Racism In A Dairy ?

Racism In A Dairy ?

On Wednesday 19 July a Young Maori went to A Kllburnie, Dairy and Asked for a ½ Pound of Butter. The Lady Behind the Counter Refused to Serve Him, My Investigations Re Veal the Reason for this was that it was Illegal to Sell butter in ½ Pound Lots. A Few Minutes After Being Refused Service. A Pakeha Friend of the Maori Youth, Went in to Get a ½ Pound of Butter. This Person had no Difficulty Getting the Butter. The Circumstances in both Cases were Identical. The Reason for not Serving the Maori was not Upheld when the Pakeha Demanded the same Product Only a Few Minutes Later. This is Clearly one of the Many Cases of Racism in New Zealand Which must be Dealt with Under the "Race Relations Act".
