Exactly! Racism isn't something we are born with but learned!

And usually from folk who personify the most ignorant attitudes only equalled in the Third Reich/Weimar Republic.

I was harangued this morning as I entered my shopping centre, by a gentleman who kept insisting we should have never become a multicultural nation and as Europeans, we would never ever have experienced this outcome.

We Europeans gave the world the plague, smallpox, chickenpox, measles, mumps and polio. With diseases like smallpox carried by us superior Europeans decimating various ethnicities! Almost entirely!?

And let's not forget the STD's we introduced to disease-free populations!

Belief in a flat world never ever made it flat and covid-19 was carried to us by returning Aussie travellers! We can speculate where it originated from, but never ever know for certain!?

[Our bats gave the world deadly Hendra! Is that because we are European?]

And entirely immaterial, just what we do about it!

From this day forward if all incoming arrivals do not cool their heels for up to a month in offshore quarantine, we will have learned nothing and sacrificed our loved ones in vain and prematurely! And possibly in greater number all up, than taken by two world wars?

Even today, now, there reside among us, folk whose only real ambition is to die the richest cadaver in the graveyard! Let's hope their ambition is realised and ASAP!

Take care and stay safe.

Mr. O,

Then my friend, you know very little.

As I said before the word racism has simply been hijacked by the left to shut up free speech. I have good friends who are Chinese, Malaysion, Indigenous, kiwi, African and Aussie. Still against open borders as are most of them. I actually consider it an honour when the dumbed down academics label someone like me racist as usually they have lost any rational debate. Usually they are white hating bigots who have made careers out of current 'group think'.

Ah, the ever reliable old racism, always there when all else fails.

Exactly! Racism isn't something we are born with but learned!
Alan B,
I have had my first hands-on experience with racism from a member of a well-know African-American band playing in Brisbane in the mid 70's.
I have since witnessed this dreadful trait from members of just about every race. I found it rather interesting to hear of the dislike of a literally pampered indigenous Australian group towards PNG Nationals although there are many professionals in PNG in contrast to very, very few here.
It'll be interesting if the Australian group will be asked to tighten their belts when the situation with COVID-19 forces the permanently welfare dependents to do so.

Only now the fools wake up.
Where were you when the antiglobalists were protesting the 1% 20 years ago in Seattle and Genoa etc.

Individual: Is that you or the booze talking?

The folk you critique are fellow Australians, some of who put it all on the line for divisive crap like you and Lord help us, you yourself may soon join their government-supported ranks? Hopefully!

Then we can all point the accusing figure of scorn at yet another bludger supported on the public purse like all pollies/public servants! Only more so and for life?

Get a life and see what you can do to actually help or contribute. Your kind of divisive garbage is very much yesterday's news? And there's no place for it here or now!

Unless you think the pandemic will go around you leaving your ever scornful self untouched?

And you'll never ever need help from those you so generously critique/? Good luck with that! Or hiding your real self? When it's your turn!

It's a long road that has no turnings!
Alan B.
