  1. Perceived Discrimination

  2. Discrimination Perception- Unprompted - • Respondents were asked to name a group of people in New Zealand that were the most discriminated against. If they named a group, they were then asked to name others (see next page). The first column has the percentage of the respondent’s first answer and the second column gives the proportion of total mentions. • Three-fifths (60%) of first mentions were of a group describing a race or ethnic background, a similar proportion to 2009 and 2010. • Specifically, New Zealanders feel that Asians are the most discriminated group; a rating of 25% (unchanged). • 9% of respondents declared Maori were the most discriminated; down 1% from 2010. Another 9% felt that about Pakeha / white people /Europeans; down 2% in the same period. • 7% believed it was recent immigrants generally; up 2% from a year ago. • 5% of respondents declared specific income groups were the most discriminated; up 1% from 2010. • 2% mentioned men as the most discriminated group.

  7. Discrimination Perception- Prompted - • Respondents were then prompted with a list of prominent discriminated groups and were asked to give a rating of how much each group were discriminated on a given scale (a great deal, a little or none at all). • The biggest increase of a discriminated group since 2010 (were discriminated a ‘great deal’ or faced ‘some discrimination’) was ‘children / younger people’; up 7% to 37% and has increased 10% from 2008. Those respondents in the 30-44 year old age group (47%) were considerably more likely to feel this group to be discriminated than the 18-29 year old age cohort (30%) or those 45 years or older (32-36%). • The next largest increase were those people that were ‘overweight’; up 4% from 74% and an increase of 15% from the low in 2006. Nearly all (92%) respondents of a Maori ethnic background believed this group to be discriminated against. • The biggest decrease of perceived discrimination from 2010 was the ‘unemployed / beneficiaries’ group; down 5% to 66%. • The most discriminated from the prompted groups overall were ‘Asians’ at 76%. The next highest group discriminated based on race was ‘Pacific peoples’ at 62%.
