Other posters, notably Yabby & Banjo have said it for me. So apart from my overwhelming objection to "refugees" arriving via people smugglers leaky boats from a country where they are obviously not in any imminent danger .... nothing more.

"What many of us who have a much better grasp on reality really want, is to put a stop to more advocacy documentaries, dressed up as reality TV, from advocacy public media and commented upon by even more advocates from academia" sounds like Dick Smith and his anti-population diatribe paid for by him on the ABC.

Who is this propaganda targeting?
White Australians.
So my race is seen as a barrier to Asylum seekers having access to Australia.
It's quite clear that the people who produced this propaganda believe that it is the responsibility of White people and only White people to give Asylum to the huddled masses.
This propaganda piece is racial in nature, it's suggesting that there's a race problem in one segment of the Australian population and that the solution to this race problem is to "teach them a lesson" and shame them into allowing the Third world to pour into White children's living spaces.
Distilled: Brown people are allowed to choose their neighbours, White people are not.

I don't believe you. In fact if the SBS docu was about enforcing your prejudices - that boat people/refugees should, in fact go back where they came from, you'd be sitting slathering in front of the Teev.

If you ARE informed, as I am from direct professional experience working with immigrants, knowing their histories as well as reading beyond Andrew Bolt, I doubt you would be avoiding watching the program. Anyone who wants to can watch and make up their own minds, but to deliberately avoid learning more and understanding more is simply reprehensible.

Lexi, I had thought we had reached an understanding on this abuse of Uni-babble.

I’m so disappointed in you. Your post is an even worse example of cobbled together web site drivel, bound together with ideological sticky tape, infused with historical pseudo-facts, laced with grammatical inexactitudes and smeared with plausibility jelly. Lexi, this is precisely the over informed, intellectually under cooked garbage we discussed on another thread. So what do you do? You reached Rock Bottom and started digging.

You had your chance, you blew it and we have to draw the conclusion that this is what you are.

What a raging disappointment, and I thought you had the edge on Cheryl.

What a truly conceited, ignorant person to presume to:

(1) know my prejudices (unless she/he is a personal acquaintance of mine hiding behind anonymity) when I have never given in this or any other public forum anyone, let alone her/him, valid reason to conclude I think "boat people should go back where they came from".

(2) state categorically that I would watch a certain genre of program on SBS. I have not watched any SBS program for over 20 years, and not watched Australian free-to-air of any genre other than sport for 10 years.

and " to deliberately avoid learning more and understanding more is simply reprehensible".

There is so much to learn, so many ways to learn, so much to understand and so many things to do. Watching a padded out 3 hours "docu" does not even tempt me.

How can any sensible person think that not watching SBS is reprehensible?
