Groups like the UPF are not reactionary, they're very much a product of multiculturalism, there were no "White" Australians when I was growing up, nobody used the word to describe themselves, it's the Left who carved us all up into tribes.
Granted the people promoting multiculturalism probably did not intend to create a nativist, identitarian mindset among Whites but it was a forseeable result.
I'll give you one example.
My daughter's high school had one of those diversity training days where a group of otherwise unemployable Lefties come to the school and run workshops and role plays and such.
There was a sort of pep rally at the beginning where the facilitator was asking all the kids from different ethnic groups to jump up and wave their arms in the air or whatever "Now all the Chinese stand up, Well done! Hooray! Now the Italians!" That sort of thing.
My daughter said about half the kids just sat there and the actors, once they'd "included" all the non Anglo kids just moved on to the next part of their programme.
12 year olds ask questions when they come home from such events, filling out the worksheet she was sent home with she asks "What nationality are we Dad?", I answer "Australian" and she frowns and says "No, like my friend Sophie is Greek, Lin is Chinese", "Oh OK, well we're White, my ancestors are Irish, English and German and Mum's half English half Czech.
We "righties" didn't make these stupid rules, we didn't create "Whites" and if we're extreme it's only through taking multiculturalism to it's logical end point, a mosaic of ethnocentric "communities" graded by social class and material wealth.
