I enjoyed the first two episodes, contrived though they perhaps are. Certainly some of the participants seem to be genuinely reappraising their prior hostility to refugees on the basis of firsthand experience.
While entirely predictable, I think that the evident racism in comments above quite disturbing. However, they are no worse than that proclaimed by some of the participants in the program, so there is some hope for redemption yet. At the very least, the program shows that it's possible for people of fair mind and good will to change their racist views of the world, so there's hope :) Posted by morganzola, Thursday, 23 June 2011 8:35:45 PM

@SPQR
Japan has around 128 million people. They are 98.5% Japanese. Sure there are some "guest workers". But when they get shipped out there is little dissent from the international community. If a white country closes the border they scream bloody murder. Just because a liberal think tank puts up a website saying Japan should let in Non Japanese. That doesn't mean Japan will do so. They are hardly facing pressure. This website and the groups attached go back quite a ways. They do not appear to be making a dent into Japan. There is a big difference between a few Korean workers being allowed to live in certain buildings in Tokyo. And what you will read below happening in California. Again this type of "forced integration" is for all White countries and ONLY White Countries. Obama administration: California’s whitest county MUST BE FORCIBLY INTEGRATED. http://cofcc.org/2011/03/obama-administration-californias-whitest-must-be-forcibly-integrated/ Non White countries do routinely have guest workers and such. However, they do so at their own leisure. No White Country has ever been allowed a vote on this subject. By the way, China has tried to force immigration (and integration of groups like Tibetan Nomads) into Tibet. This has routinely been labeled Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide by the UN. You will never hear a peep about the above clear and consistent Targeting of White Children. Forced immigration into all white countries and only white countries (anywhere else is labeled genocide) Forced integration in all white countries and only white countries (anywhere else is labeled genocide) Then they push interracial relationships in all white countries and only white countries .......hmmmmm....there is a pattern emerging here then they promote a Brown future for ALL White Countries...hmmmm .......SURE is difficult to see how the word Genocide applies here Antiwhite:"there are no such thing as white children" ProWhite:"Of course not! In your visions of the future, you have killed them all". Posted by AlisonGraham, Thursday, 23 June 2011 8:35:55 PM

Saltpetre.
The program in question doesn't show what "refugees' go through, it merely details what a carefully selected group of actors were asked to do in the production of a work of propaganda. These people are actors playing a part in the same way as the participants in any other so called "reality show'. Propaganda only works when it operates on the lowest common denominator, it's useless otherwise..say what you will about the Nazis but right from the beginning they knew what they had to do and what depths they'd have to stoop to in order to sell their final solution. To a propagandist there's not two cents worth of difference between producing "Go back to where you came from!" and "Big Brother", you could inject the subject of race into the latter just as effectively as you could the former. I spared myself the ordeal of further viewing and tuned in to Angry Boys instead, at least Chris Lilley's work is grounded in everyday Australia and what's more he treats his subjects and his audience with respect and compassion, even love.

Dear Bronwyn, Morganzola, Saltpetre ...,
I'm beginning to think that we're being had by a bunch or teens. Don't feed them. All these "White Australia" posts sound a bit like something out of a Russell Crowe movie. I think we're being had folks. They're simply stirring us. Posted by Lexi, Thursday, 23 June 2011 9:03:18 PM

Lexi:"I think we're being had folks."
You`ve been outed for the anti-white extremist you were all along,just no one was properly calling you out on it. There`s no more pi**ing around now,judgement day has arrived. Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white. Posted by SteveRogers, Thursday, 23 June 2011 10:04:26 PM

Name one

Love to ( not that it will have any impact on your entrenched views! )
Lie No. 1
One of the central arguments of * Immigration Nation* was that Australia due to its White Australia Policy become the pariah nation of the region.
The fact is, most of the countries in our region have long had similar anti-immigration/ foreigner mores/policies.
Even you, must have heard about China seeing itself as the Middle Kingdom surrounded by unclean barbarians
It didn’t want any barbarians settling in China and intermarriage was out of the question for any self respecting subject.
The Japan had long held a similar world view .
So tell me how they could possibly have been morally offended by WAP?
Lie No.2
One of the programs tame “experts” even suggested that Japanese militarism was provoked by the White Australia Policy .
Which is too ridiculous to comment on
So there you go, Bronwyn --- not that it will make an iota of difference!
