They *should* realise that, but that doesn't mean it necessarily happens in practice, right?

But Indians and Pakistanis are effectively the same people. In fact a large % of Pakistanis are actually originally from inside India of today. Likewise, Indian students in Australia could be sikhs, Hindus or Muslims. So randomly attacking Indian students would just be ludicrous, if it's claimed the motive (which is nothing but pure fantasy on your part by the way) is supposedly solidarity with their Pakistani brothers...

Nowhere has it ever been demonstrated that religious motivation is involved. It's pure speculation on your part.

How do you know they had citizenship ceremonies? *Shock*horror*surprise*, some Muslims have already been born in Australia... starting from about 150 years ago now.

In a discussion that I once had with a Lebanese Muslim, he pointed out that it is sooo easy to get away with stuff in this country because we are so trusting of what somebody tells them. But he also said that he always has to look over his shoulder and that's what makes it not worthwhile to continue his ways.
I also probably gained his trust during a bitch session against the U.S., and he told of his mistrust and hatred of the Christian Lebanese. 
It's funny that he is able to come here and hate his own countrymen, and yet if we utter a word against any of them, then we get the racist label.

Australians really don't know how much we are getting ripped off by immigrants who have a far different mindset, such as some of the the immigrants that we get from this Mid-East Asian area. They are a different breed to us and they come here to "honestly" rip us off if they can. This is their culture and they believe it to be moral.
Really, we don't understand the cultures that are coming here at all. We automatically consider them as ourselves but they are not part of our culture at all.
If possible, they will enforce their ways upon us. This is what we are seeing with the Indians now. They have such large numbers here that they have the veto to try and dupe us into surrendering some power to them.
We really need to take a closer look at their failed culture to understand what their game is within our blessed shores.i

So if I were to be hyphenated as an Anglo-Australian in a news article, would that mean I wasn't born here? Interesting powers of errr 'perception' you have there soren.

Yeh this is true. It won't be long before we're all eating tandoori and working as telemarketers and have corny ringtones blaring out of our mobiles.

Get a grip on yourself idiot. Really, this alarmist mentality is just so devoid of anything that resembles intelligence. Like the Jew who recently wrote an article that a 300,000 minority of Muslims are "Islamising" the 22 million Australians, because vegemite is now certified halal. Nevermind that the 150,000 of his fellow Jews here have had kosher stamps on vegemite for the past decade... Really wake up to the ridiculous nature of these claims.

Did Australians become "Italianised" because we eat a lot of pizza and pasta and play soccer now??

Talk about a pack of mungbean gumby halfwits. You're scared, because you know you're too $#%%^ stupid to resist a cultural invasion, that's about all it is.

You may have hit the nail on the head, Amadd. Perhaps there's resentment against the large numbers of Indians currently in Australia.

We might have had a similar phenomenon of racist crimes against Chinese/Vietnamese in the 1980s, but this group might not have been as vocal (or media-savvy) in getting the word out.

I agree to a point with your post. However, these problems should clear up in a generation or two. Of course you're going to have issues when completely different cultures move in. Look at the influence the Cubans have had in US politics. In a generation, they become part of the establishment.

Our level of immigration is nothing compared to what some countries have. What will happen to the one million Haitian orphans, for example? People are not intrinsically one culture/race or another. When you move, you change. You learn to fit in.

I'm sure it is all about power and numbers. The battle for Vinegar Hill wouldn't have happened unless the Irish had significant numbers. The Rum Rebellion wouldn't have happened without a sizeable and corrupt Rum Corps.

Of course, the most significant group of all - monopolies like Woolworths and Coles - have very few numbers but huge power. Ten percent of the population gets 80 percent of the profits while Alan Jones and Today Tonight harp on about small-time con-artists and the rise in ethnic crime - well, the rise in any sort of crime.

Do you think there might be a connection?

The same can be said about Aussies who spend the entire day in the pub, drinking their life away.  Should we bash them too, considering their beer BO is very disturbing?
