Race, media and cultural identities in Australia : Comments
By Andrew Jakubowicz, published 12/4/2010The level of inter-cultural knowledge in Australia remains extraordinarily low: the media ensure there is very little presence of people of colour.

Oh and Political correctness is not LIKE a RELIGION it IS a RELIGION.
Diversity is nothing to do with tolerance. Here's a link to another film which you probably won't watch:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6955013541295584775# Posted by Jay Of Melbourne, Monday, 19 April 2010 12:45:30 PM

Since CJ has left this forum has become increasingly fractious - perhaps we could stay calm?
Still, Jay here's a piece that may relate to the protests you attended: http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/wheres-our-sense-of-fair-go-gone-20100417-slc0.html "Oh and Political correctness is not LIKE a RELIGION it IS a RELIGION" You keep repeating this but repetition doesn't make it true - Goebbels was wrong. If being PC is a religion where is the church? How do I get confirmed? Who are the priests? I'll leave it up to you to make a joke about confession. "Diversity in the British media, yeah that's why shows like the Bill became such a joke, any wonder it's been axed." You watch the Bill too? Love the show. Its been axed because its almost 30 years old. Everything has its time and then things move on. You could say the same thing about white Australia ;-) "...save in the minds of deluded White Leftists who don't want ANY White faces on TV because they hate their race with such a passion that they want it wiped off the face of the earth." Except that nobody has said anything like that. Personally, I don't see how you go from an argument about social inclusion to genocide. There is a massive leap of logic there. At any rate I can see this conversation going nowhere so I'm leaving this thread. Jay your views are appalling - just don't break any laws and leave people from groups that you don't like alone Posted by David Jennings, Monday, 19 April 2010 3:04:42 PM

Phillipe Mora? That's your example of an unbiased point of view? Give me a break he only saw the pictures, he obviously wasn't there.
One drunk or drug affected lunatic clad in Nike gear, eyes rolling in his head turned up and FIRST gave a, fist clenched Black Power salute, then when the cameramen rushed over gave a Roman salute and marched off up Swanston St talking to himself. Everyone was laughing at him,then turned round and ignored him. You weren't there, Phillipe Mora wasn't there, I was. For the record Mirka Mora was not killed in a concentration camp, she was never in one, by another WW2 "Miracle" she was saved from transportation by her father. The use of the Holocaust by that author is just pure emotional propaganda. Here's another film you might like to see, this time from Israel: http://wideeyecinema.com/?p=7208 Wow! Isn't the internet wonderful, such a DIVERSITY of views! Posted by Jay Of Melbourne, Monday, 19 April 2010 4:16:45 PM

So are you denying the truth of the Holocaust? Twelve million people died in the concentration camps in the greatest tragedy that mankind has ever known.
Regarding the Melbourne protest, how do you know I wasn't there? How do you know Phillippe Mora wasn't there? We've already establish that you were standing in the wrong place. "Isn't the internet wonderful, such a DIVERSITY of views" Yes from reasoned argument (everybody who disagrees with Jay) to unbalanced ramblings (Jay).

While the Holocaust was certainly a tragedy, to call it
"the greatest tragedy that mankind has ever known" seems not to take into account Stalin's 30,000,000 body count or Mao's 55,000,000 ± 15,000,000 souls. I know those on the left of the spectrum don't like to discuss Communist atrocities much, but is there a particular reason that the Holocaust is deemed more tragic than the others? Is it because Stalin and Mao's victims died for a good cause? Posted by Proxy, Monday, 19 April 2010 5:09:43 PM

The last time I saw it the intrepid Sun Hill team were hunting an ultra violent gang of Afro Carribean criminals and their mastermind.
In the end the "Mastermind" was a young blue eyed, blond haired girl.
SO realistic.
And I don't know if you've noticed but mainstream media is filled with game shows, reality programs and sport which DO show off "diversity", let alone the Jewish produced and acted Hollywood programs which are full of Affirmative Action minority co stars.
There is no problem here save in the minds of deluded White Leftists who don't want ANY White faces on TV because they hate their race with such a passion that they want it wiped off the face of the earth.
