Hyphenated Australians are not 'Aussies'.

Korrekt.
The rest, like myself, are 'blow-ins' from foreign places who though registered as legally 'Australian' are by no means 'Aussies' in the same sense as being a Paul Hogan, Shane Warne, Chips Rafferty, Bob Hawke, Jack Thompson, John Meillon, Angry Anderson, John Jarrett, John Singleton ...
et al.
And then,
because whole communities of 'ethnic' immigrants refused to assimilate as 'Aussies' - the government then 'saved-face' for having sponsored the creation of ethnic ghettoes by re-inventing the former unhyphenated 'Australia' to be officially known as 'Multicultural Australia' - with this being a 'proud boast' for having created 'diversity', social disharmony, and a balkanised Australian society in which some cultures are rowing in an entirely different direction to that of the mainstream Aussie.

Translation: paranoid old men with moderate to severe personality disorders feel their whiteness privilege is being threatened from the confines of their nursing home.

Nursing homes are almost exclusively staffed by Pacific Islanders, Filipino women, and increasing numbers of Negroes here in Australia ... with the occasional routine visits by Indian and Chinese doctors.
Trust me - little old men and Australian women are dying in hospices all over Australia feeling they have been removed to a foreign country far from the homeland where once they waved their Aussie fathers off to fight the Germans and the Japs to preserve Australia for their progeny.
If you're studying sociology at university and all you can manage at the age of 28 is to roll out prejudicial and academically immature terminology such as 'racist', 'xenophobic', 'redneck' and the like in response to questions of demographic displacement through mass-immigration -- then you haven't even
begun to take the subject seriously, and without prejudice and moral posturing.
You deserve a
good spanking over my knees for having shirked your responsibility to NOT bring your own biasses and pre-conceptions into play when considering these sociological scenarios.
