Completely wrong, Chris Lewis, "Australians" judge white Australians by our skin colour all the time.

Leftist academics like your good self, never fail to mention how white Australians supposedly stole the continent of Australia from black people, a "crime" for which we must be collectively held accountable for. White people collectively are also baby stealers, who, according to the so called "stolen generations" accusation, "stole" aboriginal children for the purpose of "breeding out the black" and therefore committing "genocide" upon them. Therefore, whites must atone for our supposed collective genocidal inclinations by abasing ourselves and signing the "sorry" book.

White people must not do well in our own societies if non whites are doing badly. This success can be blamed upon so called "white privilege" which somehow suggests that having a white skin gives you an unfair advantage. To counter this supposed white privilege, "affirmative action", which is simply anti white racism by another name, gives preferential treatment to non whites in various ways. Racism in reverse.

The trick that leftist politicians are using is to gain the support of minorities for their socialist dream world by turning non white minorities against white people in the western democracies. The white societies they hate but choose to live in. That is why the Left is so gung ho about immigration and "refugees", as they hope is that they will be more accommodating to the failed promises of socialism than the whites. And the Left can keep pretending that they are the non white's protectors against the disgusting whites who are the real problem.

"Black Lives Matter" is a racist slogan suggesting that blacks are the victims of whites. The truth is that black people are simply very disproportionately represented in violent criminal behaviour. But the Left knows it is easy to convince the non whites that their minority dysfunctions must somehow always be the fault of white guys.

Get over your reflexive cultural cringe about racism, Chris, and realise that not only does everybody do it, your own race is the one copping all the racism now.

Dan my son is about as non political as you can get. He was doing some navy reserve time, & staying with the permanent navy engineer who had asked him to come down to help sort out some problems with our then new assault ships. The mate had lived in the area for 8 years.

He still gets head aches & double vision when over tired, & will do for the rest of his life. Don't ask me to welcome any immigrants, & particularly those brought in labeled "refugee". They seem to be the very worst.

The Oz local ethnic clensing has proved successful, his mate has sold his home & moved out. It was getting too dangerous for a solo man, & far too dangerous for a woman to walk the streets alone.

Nothing could get me to live in Sydney or Melbourne today, & I am not sure about Brisbane either. Some parts are no longer welcoming of real Ozzies, white or black.

Phil,

Forget the past and embrace your Asian identity c/o multiculturalism, which is really just a pseudonym for Asianisation.

My distinct memory of the event you mention hasbeen, revolved around a branch meeting of the Liberal party in that area; or a close suburb.
You've talked of this event before. And it included politics.
You need to be consistent.

My memory of life around this area of Sydney includes a time earlier. In that time it was Turkish thugs cutting a rug.
So I don't know who's side to fall down on. But one thing I agree with is there is more than mounting evidence of the abysmal failure of multiculturalism; especially as you point out, for those on the bottom like your son, who are left to live with the consequences of a politicians decision.

Where the multicultural failure shows up with its huge fault line, is when the local populations are swamped with foreign ethnicities with a totally different way of living.

But me? I focus my hatred on the political class which it is without doubt, where all this stupid is manufactured. We are powerless against idiotic decisions made over our heads, and unable to retaliate against thie evil created by them; and sadly forced to live with it, when obviously they escape!

Dan

Well done responding to all these comments Chris. You're a better man than I.

I understand you wanted to focus on the multi-ethnic component of the immigration debate, but with your concluding sentence not including environment, the indication is that it really doesn't matter.

Part of my frustration in the environment not being included in articles like this, is that it is all too common that environment gets left out. Even in Tim Colebatch's story saying that there is too much immigration, nothing on the environment. The government's reports always say immigration is "balanced" with the needs of infrastructure and the environment, but they never back it up or respond to criticisms about infrastructure falling behind or the environment being degraded.

Interestingly the Scanlon report, you cited, nailed the Greens misunderstanding of "Green" issues in this comment on page 91/97.
Regarding some issues, Greens supporters appear to be in a contradictory position. In their consideration of the most important problems facing Australia they have the highest proportion indicating environmental issues, but they are also the strongest supporters of population growth through immigration.

Again good effort all around.

Well, you see the problem with using an environmental argument against immigration, Ericc, is that the Green Party, the Party you would think would be the one pushing it, are more Red than Green. And they know that by pushing pro immigrant, pro refugee, pro indigenous, pro Islam, and anti white policies, they can be assured of a growing source of votes from minorities, who will one day be the majority.

The Left's political money is on the need to seek support from minorities, so they race bait the whites. Although, funnily enough, some immigrant communities may be drawn to right wing politics because they themselves are racist towards other ethnicities who have long been their traditional enemies. I know a few Orthodox Christians who are horrified about Islamic immigration into Australia. Getting as far away as possible from Muslims was why they got out of the Middle East in the first place.

It is just so interesting the fix the western world has got itself into with multiculturalism. In almost every western country, the native people are starting to do their sums and are figuring out that in the not too distant future, the minorities will be majorities, and the natives are going to be the minorities. And when that happens, only a complete fool would think that the west's defining cultural values are going to still be the dominant culture.

The degree to which any two cultures can accept each other is driven by how far apart their cultural values (that is, their widely accepted values of what is right and wrong behaviour) differ from each other. History clearly shows that where two vastly different cultures inhabit the same territory, and the minority is increasing through either immigration or birth rate differentials, the result is ALWAYS serious civil strife, call for separatism, and civil war.

In the case of civil war, (ie Yugoslavia) what happens is that the country splits into different countries, each with it's own culture defined by the majority. Which just goes to show that monoculturalism is the best way to prevent civil unrest.
