Look,
to have a 'One' Culture
it needs to be supported by a group of minority cultures= multi-culture.

In North America:

The Red (Rangas) and Brown (Middle-Eastern/Religious) Peoples represent the Culture of 'Breeders: Mass Production, Under-Achiever'. Poor in power, but strong in numbers and Family.
The White (Anglos) and Green (Draconians: South America)
'Persons' represent the Culture of 'Power: Individual, Over-Achiever'. Strong in Power, but weak in numbers and Family.

These 2x2 represent the 'Top of the Pyramid and bottom of the Pyramid WITHOUT the 'twain shall meet' (touching one another on the Pyramid 'scale').
...in between is the Middle-Class that is 'inverted' against the grain - by another 2x2.

The Blue & Yellow peoples are much like the Reds & Browns, but they prefer to RISE towards the Whites & Greens. Kinda like Family Men who prefer to earn a better living, like the high achievers, than have more kids/wives than like the Breeders.
The Greys & Blacks are very Individual like the Whites & Greens, but sacrifice the 'Empowerment' in all to FALL in love towards the direction of the Red & Brown Breeders.
Known more for their 'Romantism' than large families and hence why Greys & Blacks are more interested in the size of their Penis, than bank account. 

...so basically that's the Multi-Culturalism of the USA 'Culture'.

Of course, Australia's version is UN-OFFICIALLY
- the complete OPPOSITE.
...and you thought a 'Political' figurehead is running this country 

As you can see: its a PROCESS, and that process has been replicated before in other parts of the world via other 'de-vices' like Religion: The Catholic has one Over-achiever, who rules over a mass of under-achievers. The Protestant is the mass of Achievers who rule over One under-achiever.
The Orthodox gets both the sex and the money, but no-one really turns up to his church...
...they are all celebrating the Burning Man of Paganism 

ALWAYS WORKS.

So very true!

If everyone is allowed to be culturally different, there is no culture, & with no National Culture, no National Identity....no National Unity.

Cultural Assimilation is the only way to deal with immigration, but it doesn't mean that immigrants can't share what cultures they came from with their own families, or with others in society --- as long it is kept on a purely historical level.

Well, Cultural Assimilation doesn't happen over night. That's why there needs to be Community Participation & Support coupled with education to take the new immigrants from the stage of being a new arrival, all the way into becoming an Australian -- hopefully all the way to becoming an Australian Citizen.

Education includes, among many things, a strong English language reinforcement, to take them all the way to a point where English eventually becomes their first language -- language of choice.

It also means study of in-depth Australian history -- including Australian Historical Events, Understanding Australian Culture, & Basic Australian Laws.

Community Participation & Support means helping the new immigrant by those who speak their native language, initially in an interpretive capacity, & also in conjunction with their ongoing English education.

Help in finding a decent job to enhance self-worth.

Community inclusion in activities that would make the new immigrant feel more welcome, & have a better sense of being 'home'.

These activities, amongst others, have proven to be very successful, providing the immigrant possess a very basic, but necessary, ingredient  --  their desire to be Australian.

The immigrant must have a strong desire to become Australian, become part of the Australian fabric, to make Australia their new home.

If given the opportunity & education, the overwhelming percentage of immigrants will be successful, but as I said earlier, it won't happen over night --- but it will happen.

Multiculturalism, on the other hand, is divisive by definition. Instead of promoting the new arrival in becoming part of the Australian Fabric, it relays the message that the new arrival need not be part of Australia, need not speak the language of the land they hope to settle in, have no need for Australian Law. They are made to feel they have a right to create a new Society, in the image of their former home, completely isolated from the Australian way of life.

There is no way that this will form a more unified & diverse Australian Community. It will only promote enclaves of competing --- sometimes violently competing --- intolerant neighborhoods. Frictions will abound between enclaves. This can only make Australia much weaker, not any stronger.

The Multiculturalism Experiment    has never been successful in the long term, & it can only lead to the eventual breakdown of the existing cohesive Society it's permitted to form in, as all of Europe is finding out now, after many years of embracing it.

Europe has decided that Multiculturalism was an unfortunate, & costly (in terms of lives, & not only financially) a costly mistake.

Will we here in Australia learn from their misfortunes & hardships, or are we to doom ourselves unnecessarily to the same mistakes & undesirable outcomes?

Sometimes "Political Correctness" can go too far. Just ask Angela Merkel.

I personally won't & can't dictate anything, but as a welcome guest of our Society, Our Society can based on it's laws.

Quote:


No, never....you are free to clothe yourself as you wish just as long as it conforms to standing law. (isn't a threat to the Communities general security)

You can cook whatever foods you wish just as long as it conforms to standing law. (no illegal ingredients)

You can speak whatever language you wish, especially to your own family, & to friends that can understand you.

We, as a Community aren't required to understand you, & if you wish to communicate with us you must speak our language, especially pertaining to legal issues (in court, or police questioning, etc...) & via legal documentation, which must be in English.

Therefore being proficient, to an acceptable degree, in English would be expected,  naturally, after a reasonable period of time to become somewhat proficient.  It's part & parcel to becoming Australian, being part of the Australian Community & Society.

I respect your opinions as yours. 

This is what we do here.....we express our own personal opinions.

These personal opinions can be based in fact, & if so need a precise source & authoritative qualification.

Otherwise they must be determined as a personal belief, based on a form of faith....nothing more.

That would have been regression.

I voted other. I do not like the concept of multi-culture. However, I do like the idea of a cosmopolitan community. Multiculturalism is social engineering; an attempt by government boffins to improve the world. Just look at the success rate.

Of course not.
There is the uncomfortable truth that some cultures are better than others, they are not all equal. Multiculturalism is the artificial equalisation of all cultures. The freedom and liberty of the west is not equal to the suppression of women, stoning of non-believers and suppression of freedom of Middle Eastern culture.
I'm sorry to say that "because food" doesn't really counteract the repression of Liberty, mass rapes and mass violence multiculturalism in it's purest form brings.
Let's be clear, the reason "multiculturalism" was able to work in the past was because immigrants put away their personal cultures, embraced the one they chose to live in, and worked towards the same goals the nation did. What multiculturalism leads to today is the softening of our valued for immoral ones and infinite segregation of a near infinite number of groups.
