On Friday evening Auckland mayor Phil Goff was invited to attend a dinner for Teochew delegates who had arrived in Auckland for the 20th Convention of Teochew International Federation held this weekend.

Goff arrived late due to a meeting with the New Zealand Police and the Muslim community over the attacks in Christchurch which had happened just hours earlier.

When Goff explained to his hosts why he was late, the delegates together pledged nearly $500,000 for the victims. That sum has since grown to $2.1m.

The $2.1m donation will go to the Christchurch Foundation fund "Our People, Our City" set-up by Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel, to help raise money to support the families and Muslim communities impacted by the terror attack.

Goff said: "This is an extraordinarily generous offer to the people of Christchurch and the Muslim community from a small community in New Zealand and the international delegates at their conference.

A very noble gesture, but the Chinese visitors should have given the money directly to the victims of this heinous terrorist attack. Giving it to whites will just allow them to skim off the top. Considering how perfidious and given to thievery whites are, the victims will be lucky to see three pennies of this money.

There's also the added insult of giving this money to the community of the perpetrator.

Mosque attacks happened in middle east every year. This case is big deal?
