Stuff like this is always sad and shocking, although not so surprising anymore. It seems especially disturbing that something of this magnitude would happen in a country with a reputation like that of New Zealand.
Although I do have a friend here from New Zealand and she told me that racism is pretty common in New Zealand on the street level there. She said that saying racist things in conversation is normal in social situations, but she doesn't think it manifests itself into actions often.
