Quote:I think the suggestion is that they want to be TOO MUCH A PART OF THEIR CULTURE OVER HERE.
Define what exactly you mean by this. How are they 'too much' a part of their culture here? And as far as I am aware, Australian law doesn't prohibit anyone displaying or practising whatever culture they bloody well like, so long as it doesn't break any laws.
Quote:Why come here.
I think a lot of immigrants come here as economic or political refugees. They don't come for the fine culture. Besides, I don't know about other immigrants, but amongst the Muslim community a lot of them were born here, their parents having come over the last 30 or so years. So they didn't make any conscious choice to come here. Does that mean they should be prevented from being 'too much' a part of their own culture?
Quote:I do find it hilarious that racism is considered the whiteman's disease. I've seen it, experienced it and read about it historically from all nations and peoples.
Agreed. It's definitely not exclusive to white people. However when you talk about preserving the dominance of anglo-saxon culture, you must realise it will be considered somewhat as if you're calling for white supremacy. Australia is simply not an anglo-saxon country anymore, it past that stage some time ago, and you must deal with this and move on. Each generation of Australians is becoming more and more multicultural, and less and less of the populace claim only anglo-saxon heritage, or even only European heritage. Now there's two choices, one is to accept this and get on with life, and make peace with this fact, or two, form a National Socialist style party and work to reverse it, eliminating by brutal force any non-anglo aspects of Australian culture.
Quote:Why do you say that?
Because the facts show it's becoming less and less anglo-centric, and the trend is increasing. When I was a child, I had at most 1 or 2 people who I recognised as 'foreigners' in my class, during my parents time, they pretty much had none. And during my kids time, they have a large % of their class as non-anglos. Of course this is affected somewhat by the demographics of the specific area one lives in, but it's becoming more and more widespread. As I said, either get over it, or expose your Nazi tendancies and work to reverse it.
Quote:That's part of the point to keep it that way. I don't have a problem with that. It's the land and way of life that was fought for Abu, by many members of my family, from WW1 to Vietnam
Our previous generations were deluded into fighting wars that had pretty much no bearing on us at all. The invasion of Gallipoli for instance is one of the greatest disasters in our history, and our 'mates' the Poms sent us to our certain deaths as decoys no less, fighting an empire that had nothing at all to do with us. It was all about cementing European hegemony over the Muslim world, and we were the lambs to the slaughter. WWII was obviously a different case, as there was an immediate threat to us, but Vietnam, again was another disaster, in which Australians died for no good reason at all. Iraq and Afghanistan today are even less relevant to us, and are just a result of our former PM's subservience to his masters in Washington (I can't quite put it as gracefully as Mark Latham did).
So in most cases, we've fought to keep other people's lands the way they want them, nothing at all to do with us or our way of life.
Quote:I don't see why I and my family should have to move.
I'm not seriously suggesting you should move. I'm just stating that if you don't like how 'unwhite' Australia is becoming, then maybe it's not the place for you.
Quote:And I don't see why we can't take charge of our country's direction. Is that too difficult a concept?
The horse has already bolted, bit too late to close the gate.
