Auckland Transport refused to change the name of this bus stop in 2015, despite a complaint it was offensive, racist and derogatory. He asked Auckland Transport to rename the bus stops in 2015, but when his request was rejected, he "left it at that", he said. It gave me the impression that they didn't care and it showed an ingrained and normalised attitude [to racism]," Tan said. "Racially offensive bus place names is where everyday normalised racism begins, and it should really end today," he said. Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan said the bus stops were named by the then-Auckland City Council.
