Where to for migrants and minorities? : Comments

By Saeed Khan, published 6/12/2016

The dust is yet to settle on Brexit and Donald Trump's presidential victory but Australia's own deplorables are already out in force beating their chests.

One aspect that has not been mentioned as to why Khan and his compatriots are undesirable as migrants is the low IQ of Pakistan’s population. The average IQ there is 84, while the white average and northern Asian average is 100 or above.
These people are unsuitable as migrants and should be excluded from consideration.

Khan's article certainly demonstrates his low intellect

OLO commenters seem to confirm what the writer speaks of, while turning OLO into a forum for bigots, nativists and eugenicists to attack anyone or anything different.

Then again this reflects the resurgence since Howard of ugly Australian culture which simply shows how insecure and xenophobic Oz can be; hardly a vote of confidence in one's nation when there is desire to divide it?

Curious watching how many Australians are being willingly and/or unwittingly led on by mainstream media, politicians and other actors with an axe to grind (e.g. corporates who don't like govt.), who view Oz through past via sepia tinted glasses, 'wasn't it better in the past?' and preclude a future for all citizens, as we are all mostly 'immigrants'.

The challenge for conservatives is how far can you push these tactics and ideology into the future with changing demographics, or don't they care? From the outside like Brexit, Trump, Turkey or Hungary, it shows Oz to be lacking confidence, very insecure in, and antagonistic towards, the outside world.

The stupidity and ignorance of this 'zeitgeist' is to blame outsiders or 'immigrants', then real policies are avoided in favour of making noise about the former.... and the status quo remains....

Well Andras if you want to see a racist bigot I suggest you actually read the piece written by Saeed... and stop blaming those who react against his blatant racist bigotry.

T800,

"Well Andras if you want to see a racist bigot I suggest you actually read the piece written by Saeed... and stop blaming those who react against his blatant racist bigotry."

Well, that's not going to happen, is it?

It's so much easier to use an ad hominem attack on the critics of Islam than to bother to learn any thing about the ideology, its history or culture. Also Muslims know that Islam, as currently practised, is a totalitarian ideology that's indefensible in a liberal democratic society. Attacking critics' characters is their only option.

Only to a bigot like you, Andras.
You will eventually hate yourself for talking baseless nonsense like this.

I am coming into this debate rather late in the piece.
Firstly I stopped to read the author's article and all
I can say is _ "Wow!"
Very strong stuff! A "Call to Arms." So to speak.
Although, I'm not sure that the Ethnic Communities will
take up the call. After all Australia has been built
on settlement from other countries which in many ways this
has determined the very nature of contemporary Australian Society.
Most people have with the assistance of various Agencies and
government programs have integrated very well into this
country. People who've come here since WWII represent approx.
150 different nationalities, 200 different languages and more
than 70 different religions.

Where to for migrants and minorities?
I believe that they'will continue to work hard,
as they've always done, and build a
better life for themselves and their children - contributing to
the rich tapestry of this land, as they have always done.

The author, has possibly been upset by either some personal
experiences (each country has its nutters - but they're usually
a minority) or he's upset by certain aspects of current
government policies. However he need not be - as government
policies are - as we know subject to change.

In closing, I would just like to lighten things up a bit here
by the following joke told by an American comedian on TV Saturday
night:

"If Jesus was to return - what with his "Middle-Eastern"
appearance, brown skin, and arriving by boat - guess where he'd
end up?"
