    Ethnicity has only ever been used as a data point for the best health outcomes. Some diseases progress differently in different ethnicities. It has never been used to prioritise healthcare in NZ. The former is fine. The latter is an actual war crime.

    Either way, an argument of “it’s not new” isn’t a defence of systemic racial discrimination for healthcare.
