ethnic and cultural diversity with national unity as
successfully as Australia.
Foxy,
I have looked up successful in dictionaries & thesaurus' but I can't find anywhere where the situation with some immigrant groups to Australia fits that word. Can you provide one of your links please for all of us to see what you mean by successful ?

Foxy,
You evade the question. I asked what are the benefits of diversity which you and others claim. You posted a list of industries. Is diversity necessary to operate those industries.

I personally know a Aus woman that was part of the London ballet scene, which shows we do not need diversity for ballet or opera or other entertainments.

If I recall correctly you claimed earlier that before MC Aus was boring. Some claim also that MC enriched our society.

I say that before MC we were a far safer and cohesive society. I am sure the girls that were gang raped in specific racial attacks felt 'enriched' by the experience as are the anglo blokes that have been attacked by ethnic gangs.

So if diversity is of benefit to us then surely the more diverse we are the more benefits. So what other diverse cultural activities should we encourage to get the greater benefit. Surely charging a woman for sex outside marriage, after reporting a rape, or stoning an adultress, pedophilia and eating dog meat, spiders and maggots would add to the benefits of diversity.

I would like to see your suggestions. What about honour killings or acid attacks just for diversity? Why not see how diverse we can get. After all we are multicultural and there is a whole world full of alien cultural practices. Not boring, but interesting.

No Foxy, I have never heard of them at all. I work in the mining industry in outback WA, and have little time or energy for ballet at all. I am not sure what your point really is, or if you have one at all. I am sure there are just as many white ballet companies as there are ethnic. I am still yet to see a list of the benefits of this diversity you speak of. I can certainly tell you that non European migrants are NOT 'contributing' to the mining industry in any way, shape or form. Perhaps the girls that were anally gang raped in Sydney by lebanese migrants were suitably 'enriched' by the diversity of the experience as Banjo suggested? You certainly sound as though you would be.

Gentlemen,

It's obvious that you refuse
to acknowledge and see the contributions
that immigrants have made to this country of ours.

I can see that no matter what I say or write
sadly, it won't make the
slightest bit of difference to you. I would simply be
wasting my time. Therefore before leaving this discussion
I would just once again like to remind you of the words
of Tim Soutphommasane - the presenter of the six part
documentary series - "Mongrel Nation: the story of
Australian Multiculturalism," who stated:

"Social change in Australia has always been accompanied
by cultural anxiety for some. For others - there is a
certain "Fortress Australia" mentality against outsiders."

"However, the hardest work has already been done in
accepting differences by past generations.
Yes, there remain challenges and Multiculturalism isn't
without its tensions. But, today's Australia and the
atitudes of younger Australians in particular, is on the
whole accepting of cultural diversity. That to me at least
are all strong signs, you might say, that Multiculturalism has
come through its trials in pretty good shape."

Have a nice day.

Finally Foxy, you said wrote something worth reading. You are wasting your time, and your space as well.

Foxy,
Yes leave the thread because you cannot explain how 'diversity' benefits us or 'enrichs' our lives. These are just hollow words that mean nothing and just like the multiculti slogan 'Unity in diversity'.
There is not any unity, even amongst ethnic groups.

The simple fact is that multiculturalism was introduced in Aus as a social engineering exercise without any consultation with the community, let alone consensus.

It is an ideology that puts original culture ahead of national loyality. It divides us into groups and has no unifying aspects at all. Multiculti leaders have openly stated they desire a 'federation of ethnicities' not a unified nation.

I wonder how long it will be before calls are made to lower the age of consent, legalize FGM and forced marriage. There already have been calls to legalize polygamy and introduce sharia law.

Small price to pay for having a large choice of culinary experiences.
