Introduction
Discriminating one on the basis of his or her skin colour is quite painful and detrimental as seen in Witi Ihimaera's novel'The Wahale Rider' through what Rawiri experienced when he visited Papua Guinea.
Clara
When the narrator gets to Papua New Guinea with his friend,he can almost hear Jeff's mother wondering 'oh my goodness,how am I going to explain to the woman at the bridge club?' This on the account that his kin is black.
Maori supremacy
Koro Apirana is named Super Maori because he always fights for the Maori people.There would be a match for land and protests against forces that oppress them,perhaps because they are minority.
The Dog
Clara make a sit obvious that she is embarrassed by the narrators presence.He is saddened when she says to another guest that Jeff always brings home dogs and stray.But she consoles herself that at least Rawiri is not a native and laughs sarcastically.
Class
Jeff and Rawiri are getting on fine but Jeff's parents push him to start consorting with his own kind in the clubs and sideline him.
Pressure
Jeff remarks that they have been together for too long for Rwiri to go back to his land.He is succumbing to pressure from his mother.
The accident
When Jeff hits Bernard,Clara insists that he should drive off because he is only a native. Rawiri protests that he is a cousin and they should attend to him but they do not heed his advice.They drive off without him when he alights to check on Bernard.
Conclusion
It is true that racial and tribal prejudice is seen in the novel The Whale Rider and it has greatly affected the people affected
