Race, media and cultural identities in Australia : Comments

By Andrew Jakubowicz, published 12/4/2010

The level of inter-cultural knowledge in Australia remains extraordinarily low: the media ensure there is very little presence of people of colour.

Apology accepted aka.
Here's hoping we can all learn to live together peacefully here, no matter what the media does or does not do!

White Australians have attacked the Micheal Jackson show as “HIDEOUSLY BLACK”

Wait for the cries of horror and outrage.

Excuse me! but I am white and proud of my culture. Keep your “HIDEOUS WHITE” racist remarks to your self. (even if you are only repeating them second hand)

Does China have huge numbers of white and Japanese people on their T.V. and media shows? Does Africa have huge numbers of Indians and Chinese and whites on their media and Television. You show me any country in the world that is so advanced in their acceptance of other races. Are the countries you all ran away from so accepting.

Stop hitting whitey over the head with the big racist stick and start hitting yourself with it. The whites that are helping them beat other whites over the head with that stick, hit yourselves for falling for their phychological mind games.

LOUDMOUTH <as Darwin noted in his comments about hybrid vigour, such mixing tends to produce more intelligent, certainly better looking kids, an opportunity for Anglos to improve the genetics of their descendants>

Darwin is right and so the Anglo-European population( being less inbred than most other races on earth with their monotone dark hair and dark eyes) have gone on to become and will be recorded in history as being one of the most Intellectually advanced and powerful civilizations on earth. Responsible for most of the medical advances, advances in aviation, the internet, and you name it. Now I know you will say the Greeks were responsible for this but I am talkin about the advances in the last 150years. The fact that we are descended from the Romans who overran so many countries including Greece only supports what I said about the diversity, the hybrid vigour of the Anglo populations of todays Western World. Notice that we have every shade of hair, all shades of eyes. A sign of great genetic diversity. Hell we even have our share of dark hair and dark eyes.

Thank you for your compliment Loudmouth in recognizing how our great intelligence bought about by mixed breeding has made us the most advanced and powerful people in the world at the present time. Hence all the hatred and jealousy directed at us by other races. Who simply conspire to gain access to our achievements.

Actually I have made the observation before on OLO that if we can intermarry instead of remaining multicultural(tribal) we may reap the benefit that mixed breed dogs are observed to have over dogs constantly inbred. We will become much more physically and genetically stronger

Australian Values what a load of crap these are universal values concocted so that everybody from every other part of the world can feel that their values are inferior
And History has shown this is not so. I will never subscribe to this. Not while you have Silent racist media, or flag waving hooligans and as Robyn Williams the comedian said on the David Letterman show. Australians are a bunch of Pommie rednecks , and the Indian Government placed a travel warning Ban as Melbourne being a racist dangerous place,” BEWARE” All this is effecting the international reputation but the fascist and the mono cultureless don’t give a damm because that’s what they are insular ,facist, racist and have no idea about social cohesion
I only make this statement towards the right wing nationals who make this country the ugly Australia . They are creating anti social hype from decent individuals who come with universal values just because they are not white. Just ask them if white refugees came from Rhodesia on boats would they treat them the same . “ No Way”
The Media is also reeked with right wing press . We are now feeling the effects of Howards right win agenda. And Kevin Rudd is no better . He doesn’t want to stir
The right wingers so he doesn’t lose votes . And Australian people are sucked into this vortex of a national identity that will be good if you are white and everybody else and their values are inferior . If only true Australians “ Not facist ones” had politicians like Menzies , Keating ,Fraser ,Whitlam , Latham . The outcome would certainly be differen

Hi Cherful, you make some interesting points, but perhaps read too much into them. Yes, the British Isles have been invaded many times and in the long run benefited from additions to their gene pool - and most of those societies which invaded them were themselves the fruit of earlier invasions, and so on.

But don't just assume that this has not happened elsewhere. All human groups are very mixed, even if to our eyes 'they all look the same'.

Regardless of policy, people in modern urban societies eventually socialise and marry and have kids. Groups which tend to be more exclusive may look askance at this, and usually as a consequence, the children will be raised and tend to regard themselves as belonging to the more inclusive group (or groups). So gradually, the number of people in more exclusive groups will tend to decline, and the number of people who are welcomed into more inclusive groups will rise. The fact that children of mixed parentage will tend to be better-looking and more intelligent, will help this along.

And the quicker we get used to it, the better for all of us.

Joe

CHERFUL displays her usual depth of knowledge about history and genetics. However, it's nice to be able to agree completely with Joe for a change.

While I'm here, if Jay of Melbourne thinks Halle Berry is "weird and deformed looking", then he's got even more problems than I thought.
