Racial harassment behaviours experienced in last 5 years by ethnicity NZ European workers are least likely to face any type of racial harassment. Māori and Pacific workers are most likely to be the target of racist jokes and derogatory comments. Workers of an ‘other’ ethnicity are especially likely to have their names ridiculed or mispronounced. And nearly a quarter of Pacific workers and Asian workers have been forbidden to speak their own language at work.
