"You don't have to be a full on racist. Being a tiny bit racist is enough."

You know Taika Waititi - aka the immensely talented director who has blessed us with films like Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit.

Like other celebrities, Taika has been showing solidarity to the Bla(c)k Lives Matter movement by sharing resources, educating his audience and acknowledging both Australia and New Zealand's systemic racism towards their First Nations peoples.

The video was released as part of New Zealand's "Give Nothing To Racism" campaign, which urged New Zealanders to challenge their own prejudices and take a stand against casual forms of racism.

And how there's absolutely no benefit whatsoever to being racist.

Although the video is satirical, fans agreed that Taika absolutely hit the nail on the head about casual, everyday racism that often goes unchecked.

'On ya, Taika and thank you for using your platform to spread such a great message!

1. Isha Bassi was the one who wrote this article, unfortunately, she has no other affiliations outside of BuzzFeed.
2. The article is not really meant for a specific niche of people as it attempts to bring to light an issue that black people in rather remote areas experience.
3. The article highlights “economic racism” as remote communities in South Australia are not only given restrictions with what their “Indue card” may purchase, but their basic necessities are also charged with absurd prices.
4. The author repeatedly references the tweets of Arnol to bring a magnified perspective of how business firms attempt to cripple the financial status of natives in different parts of the world.

1. The author of this article is Morgan Murrell. She is part of the staff in Buzzfeed. This is the only affiliation mentioned in her bio. This doesn't make her that credible as BuzzFeed doesn't have a reputation for being a credible news site.
2. This article is mainly written for hip-hip fans and BLM supporters. This is evident in the words used in the title of the article. By using Travis Scott and Kanye West, two of the most popular hip-hop artists, it shows it's intention to attract hip-hop fans. In addition, it's BLM content would mean it also caters to the BLM movement supporters.
3. Travis is a supports the BLM movement.
4. The author of the article is very subjective. He puts little to none of his own input and only sites what Travis said in a GQ interview.

1. Written by Terry Carter Jr. but the interview was conducted by Angele Rye who is a political commentator and attorney who is known to be an active voice against racism. She is affiliated with CNN and NPR and is often seen to comment about racism as an issue in the news.

2. Written to a degree for african americans across the world to give them hope but more of for right wing individuals and majority race individuals to understand racism and discrimination.

3. Racism is very much real and now is the time to go against it.

4. It wasn’t really an article but more of an interview with will smith. In that sense, will makes the way he delivers it very very personal (ie. My heart’s pounding while white kids are happy.) but also uses strong and very passionate language to convey his emotions. (Black. Lives. Matter.).

(2) The article is primarily written for Buzzfeed readers but also the general public who want to know more about the experiences of African-Americans in the US in light of the BLM protests.
(3) The article describes Angela Rye's interview with Will Smith wherein he talks about his experience with being called the n-word by police and how he believes that the peaceful protests the youth engage in is one step closer to changing the narrative.
(4) Carter Jr. uses direct quotes by Will Smith taken from the interview which adds authenticity and credibility to Smith's (and indirectly Carter's) sentiments on BLM and the issue of racism which pervades America

(1) This article was written by a journalist named Brianna Sacks, a reporter for Buzzfeed.
(2) The article is primarily written for those in the general public who are interested in learning more about the BLM movement on retail workers and companies..
(3) The article is about how Costco banned its employees from wearing BLM clothing items (like masks) as they consider it too "political." Despite ignoring past employees who'd wear unprofessional clothing, they choose to ban their employees from wearing anything related to the BLM protests as they fear that things would get too messy and that unnecessary attention will be brought to their retail stores. Even with statements and attempts on changing this stance, Costco still chooses to ignore it.
(4) The author backed up her statements with various narrations from different employees and their experiences on the matter. Afterwards, she focused more on the inner workings of the company.

1. The one who wrote the article was Isha Bassi who is a Entertainment Producer from Australia. All her posts are random, but have one thing in common: Australia. In this article, Taika Watiti is from New Zealand, which is close enough to Australia.

2. I think the article is written to those people reading articles about BLM, and how this director (who made Thor Ragnarok) supports the BLM through his video

3. The gist of the article is how the video he posted 3 years ago concerning racism, is still applicable today through the BLM

4. The manner of writing the author wrote is a collation of pictures from the video, and it’s analysis. What’s also included is the comments of different people on this video, and how it help understand racism.

(1) This was written by Ryan Schocket, a white staff member in Buzzfeed. He has not experienced any racial discrimination, but is an active supporteer of the BLM movement regardless. While he lacks experience with racial discrimination, he does quote statements from African-Americans like D'angelo Wallace to support his claims.
(2) The article is written for people somewhat familiar with the internet drama or want a summary of what happened.
(3) Jeffree Star used BLM to escape accountability for past racist statements and "clear his record,'" which was subsequently called out on Twitter.
(4) The author conveys this information in a mostly informative tone, though in some parts he directly talks to the reader in a very casual way.

1. This article is written by Morgan Murrell, an official staff member at Buzzfeed. This makes her automatically a credible source because she is liable  to whatever she she posts, especially due to her being an employee of Buzzfeed.
2. This article is written for BLM activists or people who just want to keep up with celebrities. Because this article's purpose is to keep track with celebrities, as a result activists might read this in order to find out who supports their cause, while some read it to be updated with their favourite rappers or song artists.
3. Travis Scott aims to be politically active in music and in social media.
4. The author uses direct quotes from Travis' social media posts to show how Travis supports the BLM movement in America.

(1) The person who wrote the article is named Terry Carter Jr. Whilst it is unclear how he is affiliated with the institutions, it can be said that from a visual standpoint, one can assume that he is an African American person. Because of this, he may have experienced the biases and discrimination that people of colour face in America. This makes him uniquely qualified to comment on the issue of BLM, as he may have personally experienced the systemic issues that the movement is trying to address.

(2) This article is written for the Buzzfeed audience, and more specifically parents and teachers. This is because not only is it mentioned in the title, but also because the task of teaching children about Black History mainly falls on those two demographics.

(3) The article promotes the teaching of Black History in its entire context, and not just in the context of America.

(4) The author conveys his sentiments to the audience by discussing how Kerry Washington promoted the idea, then placing his own opinions afterwards.
