Divisive descriptions

The Weekend Herald (November 12) platformed filmmaker Chelsea Winstanley with her “Sorry, old white dudes you’ve had your time”, while also headlining alongside “Why generational labels are B.S”.

You can’t have it both ways, especially in a week when filmmaker Dame Jane Campion and artist Dame Robin White (old and white, but not my words) get the highest arts honours in NZ (Icon Awards) along with Pasifika artist Papali’i Fata Feu’u.

To further rub it in you have Simon Wilson reviewing the Auckland Mayoralty race calling Wayne Brown “P¯akeh¯a and Baby Boomer”, and Collins “younger and Samoan”, once again employing the age, gender and race cards.

It’s just divisive and insulting. Helen Hayes, Greytown.
