How racist were Australians when Hanson was flying high and what has changed? : Comments

By Andrew Jakubowicz, published 16/12/2011

The majority of Australians see the world through racially framed glasses, and some can be very nasty about it. If that's the reality, do we succumb or resist?

Dear byork,

I remember reading Pauline Hanson's statement in the newspaper that she would represent white people. I was shocked then to read such a statement by an elected parliamentarian. I doubt that I was hallucinating.

Ludwig,

How can you say that nothing (anything?) Pauline Hanson said was racist?

You said all she was doing was questioning too much Asian immigration.

Questioning immigration levels is one thing - but too much ASIAN migration is racist.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Nothing has changed.

Just cross out the word "Asians" and replace it with "boat people" or "Muslims".

Same arguments, same excuses, same fear and loathing and also probably the same people.

Welcome to OLO, phildobbie!.

<< Questioning immigration levels is one thing - but too much ASIAN migration is racist. >>

Eggzactly!

For some people even questioning the size of our immigration program is a step too far into the realms of racism. And by crikey, if you dare to question the merits of a particular racial, ethnic or religious component of our immigration intake, pffff, are you forever condemned!

Condemned by a few extremist loudmouths, that is, who pass themselves off as mainstream mouthpieces…. but supported by the majority of ordinary Australians!

Why are we letting Davidf get away with hate speech...again, he says he is anti Racist, what he means is that he's anti White, Anti Racism is a code word for Anti White.
Imagine David's horrified reaction upon learning that Sharon Firebrace ran for parliament in 2010 and that she was an advocate for indigenous Victorians.
David would have fairly imploded with righteous anti Racist fury over Robert Goot's 2010 comments to AJN wherein he praised Michael Danby's long standing advocacy of Israeli interests within the federal parliament.

David, prove to us that Racism exists, name all the individuals who are publicly practicing Racists, who write articles, make films and TV shows on the virtues of Racism.
Give us details, if you will of all the public fora in support of Racism, where they meet, who are the speakers, what are their areas of expertise.
David, name the major Racist political lobby groups, their most successful activists, that is to say the ones with "Racist"as part of their job description.
When you've given us the detailed breakdown of the organised Racist movement, both underground and mainstream then you will need to provide a bibliography of Racist publications, periodicals, blogs and websites, that means the ones with "Racist" in their titles or theses.

I've been consciously and actively pro White for over 26 years I can prove that Anti Racists exist,I can name off the top of my head the active players, their websites, publications, fora, meeting places etc yet I cannot name a single active and committed Racist, not one, presumably you can.

Phildoble,
To question the number of Asian immigrants or any other particular group is NOT racist.

It simply reflects one concern for the effect that large numbers is having on our culture.

I am a strong advocate of discontinuing importing those groups that have demonstrated they cannot or will not integrate into our society. My concern here is social cohesion, nothing more nothing less.

Seems some people want to change the word racist to mean whatever they want.

Interesting what the judge said today about those he sentenced for planning terrorist attack here.

David f,
I too would be very interested if you can find a direct quote of Pauline Hanson saying that, as I think you will find it was something made up by a journo. No wonder journos are not highly thought of.

You can easily find the date of her election and follow on from there.
