The xenophobic reaction to an Algerian asylum seeker is imperilling
Kiwis' reputation for tolerance, writes David Fickling
Monday December 15, 2003
The fluid national identities of the new world mean that people often
end up delineating countries in pairs. Malaysia is contrasted with
Indonesia, Brazil with Argentina, as if the comparison told us
something profound about both.
Often, there is a moral element to all this. Those who deplore the
behaviour of the sprawling, cosmopolitan USA wonder why it can't be a
little more like its sprawling, cosmopolitan neighbour Canada; those
who now condemn Australia long for it to become more like its tolerant
neighbour, New Zealand.
