<p>“You don’t have to be a full-on racist, just being a tiny bit racist is enough,” Kiwi director Taika Waititi says in a video for the New Zealand Human Rights Commission.</p><p>“Racism needs your help to survive.”</p><p>The New Zealander of the Year, known for What We Do in the Shadows and the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, launched a tongue-in-cheek campaign on June 14 for those “suffering in silence” from racism. Race Relations Commissioner Susan Devoy, speaking with Radio NZ</a>, said one in three formal complaints to the Human Rights Commission were about racial discrimination.</p><p>She said Waititi was an obvious choice for the “Give Nothing to Racism” campaign and said he took a day off from working on Thor to shoot this video. The campaign site</a> states that “racism starts small and is a light feeder” and the sarcastic humour used by Waititi could “stop casual racism from growing into something more extreme.” Credit: New Zealand Human Rights Commission via Storyful</p><br />
