Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon has added his voice to calls to end Police Ten 7, saying that the show reflects racist policing in New Zealand. Yesterday, Auckland councillor Efeso Collins called on TVNZ to scrap the reality show over what he says are racist stereotypes. But Efeso Collins said it feeds on stereotypes - particularly of young brown men being brutish. A couple of days ago I was watching tv & your ad cut promo’ing the program showed young brown ppl. Earlier, Efeso Collins appeared on ZB's Early Edition to expand on his earlier comments.
