Skin tone and discrimination study w/ Dr Roshini Peiris-John: October 4, 2022

A new study has found young people of ethnic minority backgrounds in Aotearoa are treated worse by police, health services and education providers if they look less white. The study is the largest in this field and backs up a vast amount of anecdotal evidence of prejudice in New Zealand society, and has opened up discussions of how we should address discrimination at an institutional and structural level.

Christina spoke to the study's co-author, Dr Roshini Peiris-John.
