To review some common patterns of race talk in a sample of submissions made to the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill. This bill proposed a structural reform of the health system in Aotearoa New Zealand to address long-standing health inequities experienced by Māori, the Indigenous peoples, and other priority populations.
In a sample of 3,000 individual submissions made in late 2021, we found 2,536 explicit references to race. Utilising the "standard story" frame of Pākehā/non-Maori race talk, five longer submissions that inferred that the Pae Ora bill was "racist" were analysed in detail.
Many "standard story" race discourses were identified in the Pae Ora submissions. Three derived discourses included in this paper are: Pākehā as norm (monoculturalism or not seeing Pākehā as a culture), equality and the "Treaty" (equality for all to access healthcare), and one people (we are all New Zealanders). Sources such as the Waitangi Tribunal Wai 2575 Hauora report were drawn on to provide alternative discourses.
Identifying Pākehā standard story discourses enables learning about language patterns systems draw on, and the development of tools and procedures to improve equity for Māori and eliminate institutional racism.
审查在提交给《佩奥拉（健康未来）法案》的样本中一些常见的种族讨论模式。该法案提议对新西兰的医疗体系进行结构性改革，以解决毛利人、原住民和其他优先群体长期存在的健康不平等问题。
在 2021 年底提交的 3000 份个人意见样本中，我们发现了 2536 条明确提到种族的意见。利用“标准故事”框架来分析 Pākehā/非毛利人种族讨论，详细分析了五份推断《佩奥拉法案》“有种族主义”的较长意见。
在《佩奥拉法案》的意见中，我们确定了许多“标准故事”的种族论述。本文包括三个衍生论述：Pākehā 是规范（单一文化或不将 Pākehā 视为一种文化）、平等和“条约”（所有人都平等地获得医疗保健）以及一个民族（我们都是新西兰人）。借鉴了怀唐伊法庭 Wai 2575 Hauora 报告等来源，提供了替代论述。
确定 Pākehā 标准故事论述有助于了解所使用的语言模式系统，并制定工具和程序，以提高毛利人的公平性并消除体制性种族主义。
