You always ignore the important truth. Neither you nor me are the original residents of Australia.
The original Australian culture was almost destroyed by the white intruders 200 years ago.
Different from China, British and Egypt, Australian culture is decided by the migrants instead of the Aboriginals. You always pretend you don't understand.
Because your point is bullshit. Your entire argument is Bullshit. It is not that I don't understand what you are saying. It's the fact that what you're saying is... you guessed it... bullshit.
So Australia is 225 years old since colonisation. 200 years, 2000 years... whats the difference? At what point in time does a culture become traditional and therefore protected? Your entire argument is based on the idea that Egypt, Britain, China, etc, have been here longer and therefore have a culture. Australia is young and therefore it's culture is a mix of whoever is there at the time. Rubbish.
Australians may be white, but we are not German; we are not American; we are not the same as New Zealand, nor are we even the same as the British. Australians have their own accent, their own attitudes, their own vocabulary, their own style and traditions. Your attitude however is,
'no you don't... I'm as Australian as you are.' You are not. Not even close. That's because you refuse to accept that Australian culture even exist.
