Racial origin should not be something that divides us : Comments

By Teresa Gambaro, published 1/5/2014

Are we a society that builds on the strength of our multicultural heritage, or one characterised by intolerance and bigotry.

I'm well tired of this BS! The only basis for any redress under Law should be based on falsehood.

So called racism often has legitimate origins based on behaviours of ethnic groups. It may cause others to be suspicious of all members of the group based on the actions of a minority - albeit a minority which is statistically over-represented. Tough! Mostly any individual gains respect and acceptance through their own behaviour and projection - regardless of background.

But let's also look at the expression of racism in Australian society and how this is reported.

If there is incidence of one minority group clashing with another - chiefly over matters of race or culture - the 'R' word never gets a mention. This particular situation is not at all uncommon but political correctness usually results in either little or no reporting of incidents. Often - in cases where 2 ethnic groups have clashed - where one group is primarily migrant and the other group primarily Australian born, the second group will be described simply as "Australian". A glaring example is the Indian Student assaults several years ago. The attackers belonged to middle-eastern racial/cultural gangs. However due to their status as born in Australia - that was how the crime was reported.

Racism only really becomes NEWS when some Caucasian type acts in a way perceived offensive by a Minority group or individual or commits real crime against them. It then becomes a BIG STORY and target of much commentary of what a mob of racists White Australians are. Should there be evidence of racial hate in crime committed by a minority group or individual against Caucasians, you can be sure this will be downplayed and even suppressed. Some half-wit will undoubtedly start bleating about 'reverse racism' - a ridiculous concept but one that the PC brigade loves to play with.

So roll on reform if it frees us from some of the stupidity we see today - where many fear speaking openly about serious issues for fear of being accused for stating the truth.

Everytime the racists feel they're losing ground in the media they start the nonsense again & again. How can we ever have peace when the racists themselves complain about racis

Indi,
Not "Racists", call them White Supremacists because that's what they are, White Supremacy is a political system which uses tribal politics to fragment a society and maintain the hegemony of what we might call an aristocracy and it's attendant bourgeoisie.
The White Supremacists elevate and favour one or two minority ethnic or tribal groups and usually a mixed race caste and denigrate and disenfranchise the majority population.
Arjay might like to chime in with a word or two on tax farming but that's all the White Australian ethnic group means to the colonial elites, we're merely a resource to be exploited for short term gain. When in 50 years the Asians are the majority the cycle will begin again, maybe the grandchildren of Abbott, Milne, Shorten, Palmer and the oligarchs and dynastic companies will flood Australia with people from South America or Central Asia and run the Chinese majority into the ground, who knows?
If you want a glimpse of the far distant future look back at the Boer War, that's what's in store for our ethnic group.

Jay of Melbourne,
Yep, the lefties definitely are that but pretending constantly not to be so. I find it a little difficult to see a pseudo indigenous to be a white supremacist though or a middle eastern.

Well the mixed race Indigenous/Whites are the equivalent of the "mulatto" caste in Haiti in the 18th-19th century, one step above their Aboriginal ancestors but one step below their White masters, they're part of the Colonial administration but not it's ruling caste.
The Arabs come under the generic "Asian" denomination in my estimation but every minority ethic group has it's part to play as we saw in the submissions to the response to Brandis' proposed changes to 18c.
White Supremacy has modernised itself, it's now taxing the people on the plantation as well as relying on their free labour to make the system work. Ethnic Whites are still expected to do all the heavy lifting, to pay tax as well as to volunteer their time for social projects to benefit the state, the elites and their favoured castes.
The point is that a subject people won't put up with their conditions forever, at some point the situation has to be changed to avoid a revolt, heck it's possible that once we're reduced to a minority ethnic Whites may become one of the favoured groups or castes but we're never going to be the ruling elite. To be among the elite or it's bourgeoisie you have to give up any notion of a historical,biologically based identity and define yourself by ideas and money only.
