Individual

You cannot understand that we are all a 'racial' mix - no matter how 'white' we may appear? No wonder you misunderstand much discussion.

The following is a link to a speech made by Malcolm Fraser at the Adelaide Australian Refugee Association last night (its OK Individual, I don't expect you follow this either):

""Does Labor realise that it can never outdo the Coalition on inhumanity to asylum seekers?"

It is a climate of fear he traces back to the Howard government and its handling of the Tampa in 2001.

"But with the balance in the Labor Party at the time, the party decided that the Liberals had ripped enough redneck votes out of the Labor Party, and they weren't going to let them rip anymore," he said.

"Now that's not an assumption from looking at the outside. Those words were used in a conversation I had with one of Labor's most senior people at the time."

Mr Fraser says Australia should be involved in a greater international effort to help resolve problems in other countries.

He also wants a humanitarian and bipartisan approach to the asylum seeker issue.

It is a sentiment that won the former prime minister a standing ovation."

We're not a "Racial mix",White people are not "Mixed Race" in any sense of the term, that's an outright lie.
For a start, 3/4 of the genetic stock of the indigenous people of the British isles, the group most relevant to this discussion comes from the original pre Neolithic settler groups, with small levels of European admixture (ie Nordic, Slavic etc) in SOME localities:

The Irish, Scots, Cornish and Welsh have very low levels of admixture.
You're trying to say that it doesn't matter if my race is "assimilated" out of existence because we're just "mongrels",you regrads us as being no better than Dogs try telling an African he's a "mongrel dog" and see what type of reaction you get.

It doesn't matter what YOU think about race, under the law Race is real and it matters, there are no such things as "social constructs" in the Racial and Religious tolerance laws.
If we say we're White, we're White, anyone who denies the existence of my Race, and like you seeks to make some point in support Third World migration is subject to sanction under international law for promoting the crime of Genocide.
You say you are anti Racist, what you are is anti White, anti Racism is a code word for anti White.

Beg pardon, the previous post should be addressing Ammonite, not Individual, silly mistake.

Sorry Shalmaneser, I won't click on links. The last time I did that, I got the worst virus in my computer ever, and it cost me hundreds of dollars and a lot of grief to get it out.

Besides, I can't deprogram a link, but I still have hopes of deprogramming you.

What was it about, anyway?

Jay Of Melbourne,

Anti-racist isn't anti-white. Everyone is free to choose their own mate, and if Indian wishes only to marry Indian, ok, if Chinese only wishes to marry Chinese, ok, same for Oz, or Welsh, Japanese, Inuit, Kong, Nigerian, Congolese, Iraqi or Iranian, or whatever. Choose, that's all.

However, deny as you like, but there is a lot of inter-race marriage, and it seems to be a growing trend. Where will it end? Multiracial-ism? Probably unavoidable, and probably to be welcomed, in the long run. There is already too much divisiveness in the world, and one less cause or excuse for division would have to be a good thing - in my humble opinion.

If you are meaning that it would be best to go back to a White Australia Policy, then I'm afraid that horse has well and truly bolted, and the gate can no longer be shut in any case, so all the horses are going to bolt all over the place, and there's no stopping it. What happened to the last xenophobic Oz politician?

The only real question is how to maintain an Oz identity and an Oz culture - such as these are, anyhow. Or is this now possible, or worth stressing over, or preferable in any event? Oz culture has certainly benefited from migration over many years, and probably can only get richer still with further immigration.

So, choice becomes solely who to welcome to Oz - on what basis, and how many? I think there may be great advantage in taking a wide selection, with less chance of clustering without blending. We have seen what clustering can produce. Is integration a dirty word? (Facilitated amicably, with give and take on both sides.)
