Here’s some surprising news. New Zealand’s parliament has failed to accommodate a sacred Person of Oppressedness who rejects the colonial oppression of business attire.

Via Breitbart:

A Maori politician who claims a necktie symbolises “a colonial noose” was ejected from New Zealand’s Parliament when he defied custom and entered without one.

The tieless Rawiri Waititi was not allowed to ask questions in the debating chamber.

Waititi, 40, who became an MP for the first time in the election last October, was wearing a taonga, a Maori greenstone pendant instead, Reuters reports.

Waititi says a taonga is a tie in his culture. It would be colonial oppression to expect him to comply with the norms of New Zealand culture.

“It’s not about ties, it’s about cultural identity, mate,” Waititi said as he exited the chamber, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

It is about cultural identity, all right. More specifically, it is about obliterating social cohesion through multicultural madness.

At least he didn’t show up in a loin cloth. Waititi saw fit to culturally appropriate shirt, jacket, cowboy hat, metrosexual eyeglasses, and presumably pants.

But he doesn’t like wearing ties. Does anyone?

On a tip from Henry.
