That's very racist.

On the face of it yes, but there are problems of systemic racism towards Māori and Pacific people in New Zealand that have lead to them having poor health outcomes in the first place. This seems a crude way to try and address the issue. A simple solution to a wicked problem. This won’t fix the wicked problem.
