'Successful multiculturalism'. The mantra that is never explained, never qualified. Empty words that mean nothing.

Multiculturalism is the worst thing ever foisted on us by social engineering politicians.

Time to open your eyes then ttbn.

ateday,

Well, come on then: tell me what I'm missing. Explain how multiculturalism is 'successful'.

Multiculture in Australia consists of people from many cultures getting together with people of their own culture in different areas. You only have to look around Melbourne, Greeks in Footscray, Vietnamese in Springvale, Chinese in Box Hill and Italians in Carlton, Jews in Caulfield, to just name a few.

Real Aussie culture to me is 'no-culture' or 'anti-culture'

Foreigners might say "Australia doesn't have a culture".
- I'd say yes, that's right, and we sure as hell don't bloody well want yours -
But we'll gladly eat your grub if it tastes good;
- After all this nation was raised on rabbit

ttbn,
Successful multiculturalism is where everyone's right to freedom of culture is respected. And that is a good thing, though obviously it must remain subservient to the law of the land.

Political correctness is the worst thing ever foisted on us by social engineering politicians (who didn't invent it but supported it because they thought it would gain more votes than it would lose them, and unfortunately were probably right on that).

Political correctness tries to redefine multiculturalism as the situation where everyone keeps their original culture. But that's not, and never has been, what it's about.
Successful multiculturalism and PC pseudomuluticulturalism are mutually exclusive.
