Researcher’s survey of migrants finds racist overtones but police say they take cultural concerns seriously.
New Zealand's African minorities - many welcomed here as refugees - claim the police are targeting them unfairly and sometimes in a racist manner.
Young Africans have told AUT researcher Dr Camille Nakhid that police have stopped them on the streets or in cars for no apparent reason except their colour, beaten them, called them "n*****s", told them to "go back to your country" and even told them to go back to Mt Roskill when they visited the North Shore.
One young man said: "If they see you as a black man with a white woman in the car ... they pull the girls aside and ask, 'Are you OK?'"
Dr Nakhid said this treatment cannot continue. She will present the report to an African youth forum at the Wesley Community Centre in Mt Roskill at 3pm tomorrow. Police say while they cannot respond to single incidents without more details, they take cultural concerns very seriously.

"Why you stop my car?"
"I stop your car because you went through a traffic light."
"No, you stop my car because you are racist"
"No, I do not know what skin colour you have when I stop you."
"You must be racist. Otherwise, you won't give me a ticket."
"Why are you arresting me?"
"Becuase you punched someone."
"How can you see it like that, you must be racist."
"Then how should I see it?"
"His face ran into my closed hand many times! He assaulted me. My hand is so sore now.Ow~"
