You are welcome to be a friend. But you need to realize that if you want to join a group, you have to join the group on their terms. You only have power in a negotiation if you have something the other side wants. You can only reach a compromise if one side isn't holding all the cards.

Your attitude has been that you want to join Australia, but Australian should change to make you more welcomed. You say; "Be a friend or leave me alone", but it us who gets to make that ultimatum. If you don't want to be Australian, then don't come. Don't tell the group that you want to join to either accept you or leave you alone. Instead, either be a part of the group or don't try to join in the first place.

Your entire attitude is what creates a "segregated society". Simply learning a basic level of English is not much of an effort, especially when you insist on holding to your own culture and not assimilating.

Your ignorant belief that Australia was conquered in some kind of warfare by the English, and therefore all the white people here are to blame, is also the kind of attitude that causes a "segregated society". My family are Scottish refugees from WW2. They came here, dropped the accent, and called themselves Australian. I don't call myself Scottish, nor do I have anything that would identify me with Scottish culture. But I am white, so that makes me one of the conquer by "cannon" people and not a "peaceful" Chinaman. You really reckon that kind of racist "us" and "you" language you use helps to build a non "segregated society"?

This isn't about leaning a language, this is about attitude. Australia is not a shop where money is the only thing that matters, but instead it is a society of relationships and behaviours that needs a grounding. You don't join a nation like joining a gym. Citizenship is not a piece of paper like a membership. You either are committed to being a part of the nation or you are simply here for convenience. Everything you have said so far makes it should like the latter. You are not here to be an Australian, but being an Australian citizen is good for your career at the moment. Once Australia no loner works for you or something better comes along, you will go join them. Why should anyone reach out to you with an attitude like that?

I support Multiculturalism. Why?

I like variety!

I don't know if these words are the parts of your culture. But It shows only unpolite and lack of education.

Fortunately, you are not the representative of Australian, otherwise I have to focus on education problems here a little more.

And obviously, you can not build a better Australia with these words.

Moving to a country which your own culture cannot produce to take advantage of the opportunities available but rejecting the culture that provided it in preference to your own is the quintessential act of Racism! As the Christians say "First remove the Log from your own eye before you remove the mote from mine"

Its not your human right if done without invitation and unconditional intent to assimilate and embrace the host culture its passive invasion!

Yes you may be a citizen but your not an Australian! A piece of paper given to you by someone without the mandate to do so is exactly that a piece of paper worthless and meaningless,.The arrogance that you think that piece of paper gives you the same right to decide the future of this country as someone who has been here for 7 generation is repulsive.
No its not decided by me but if it isnt decided by the people of this country(and it isnt) then its not legitimate.

My education is just fine I had the same education as many tens of thousand of your countrymen pay for each year in our education system.

Build a better Australia. Your not here to build a better Australia! If it wasnt already better than anything your culture could provide you wouldnt have come here to take advantage of it in the first place!
Australia was demonstrably a "Better" place before the mass immigrations from non European countries in the last 30 years!

This is what exactly made the separated society. Don't blame any others. It's you.

I support people being multicultural, but not a country.. I do not believe the country can call its self multicultrual as a whole when they gather up people whom are not multicultural (gathering poeple with distinct cultures) and putting them all together then say "we are multicultural" that's not multicultural that's "we are segregated" when you have everybody dropping their distinct cultures, and embrasing a multiculture (picking their fav bits out of each culture) then you can support multiculture..

It is only a problem if you come here unwilling to assimilate, but holding onto your own culture. When are you going to understand first cause? Your attitude causes the problems, but you are blaming us for not fixing them.
