regarding_your_question
“As an opponent of multiculturalism.... how do you explain away your marriage to that poor, long-suffering lady from Borneo”?
Thanks for that important question ! No cheque this time :)
Its simple.
1/ You misunderstand my opposition to ‘MultiCulturalism’ to mean ‘anti Multi racial’.
2/ She is indeed a warrior... she prefers food done in her own cultural way, but bless her, she prepares food which is usually rice based “Asian” so to speak, but prepared kind of like Chinese food, which we all love, but her own cultural approach is quite different. Sometimes she will even cook twice, once for us, and then for herself, but her style is quite simple....rice porridge and some chopped up vegie, or some simple soup... She can do quite a few ‘Aussie’ meals but we don’t ask her to do that much, because we have adapted to the rice based meals.
I’m not against other ‘races’ being in or coming to Australia. I’m VERY much for a ‘managed’ approach to that issue such that our own ethnic/cultural predominance is not threatened.
Do I say this in a ‘racist’ way ? suggesting that our culture is ‘superior’ ? not at all. We have many weaknesses. I’m far more concerned about the social/cultural and political stability of the country.
I’ve lived through race riots and seen the horrible impact. I also made a ‘pilgrimage’ to Cronulla and Lakemba to get a feel for those events.
Race relations once soured are very difficult to repair. Similar to the Lebanese Civil war.. 4 Christians killed, then a bus load of Palestinian workers, then Karantina then Damour etc etc.. and 19 yrs of fighting followed.
The only barrier to widespread outbreaks of ethnic strife is an overwhelming majority of ONE major group who give cohesian to the overall community. Example Hungary is like 85% Hungarian ethnically, as are most of the European ‘tribal’ states. Bulgaria, Romania etc.
I want our emergency services NOT to have to consult a ‘Culture’ manual each time they deal with an emergency. People who come here, come to ‘our’ culture :)
