As SteveMadden showed, humans of any kind can never fully 'integrate', any more than we can learn to live without war in peace. We should aim for 'mutual respect'.

Banjo,
Useful suggestions. I have the following additional observations: Integration means Inclusion, welcoming new arrivals, not further isolating them.

If you learn English and speak it poorly or with any foreign accent you will open yourself up to ridicule by many Australians, who will then go out of their way to point out your 'failing'. Speaking English correctly and with a more English accent that they possess will mark you out for particular vitriol. Being offended by this will ensure it is ramped up to previously unimaginable levels. You must accept this 'friendly' ribbing in good humour even if some unfamiliar activities are mortal sins to your own culture's mores.

Don't draw attention to your unAustralianness by not drinking quantities of Alcohol at all available opportunities.

Any attempt at proving your 'superiority' to the monoclass of Aussie culture will ensure you're selected as an outcast, unwelcome in society.

Abruptness and dictatorial nature's are the exclusive right of Authority, such as 'local government' and is a rag to a red-blooded Aussie Bull. No-one has the right to tell Aussie's what they can and cannot do, particularly not parking inspectors or 'foreigner's, even ones born here. Any attempt to do so will be met with lip-curling snarls of derision and occasional violence, especially when alcohol is in plentiful supply eg. at BBQ's, the footy or down the pub.

Thanks mainly to multiculturalism and a successful World Cup campaign, Australian's now have a new-won respect for roundball Football (the world's most paticipated sport). Until recently it was almost exclusively for poms, wogs, wops, dagos and a number of smaller ethnic poofta's who like kissing each other on the cheeks if they score.

Don't expect to hear news of any sport in your country of birth on mainstream networks unless Australia is playing them. Footy on the otherhand has the status of a religion in many states of Australia. Knocking this is decidedly UnAustralian.

Actually Braindrain, the 'Ozzie' team was made up practicing MULTICULTURALISTS.

With names like Zeljko Kalac,Ante Covic ,Stan Lazaridis,Tony Popovic ,Marco Bresciano Josip Skoko, Mile Sterjovski, John Aloisi and Mark Viduka its a pretty MULTICULTURAL team.

And there were some Poms (who else) in there as well!

Brain Drain,

Of course all the Ethnic groups love Australia(the land) thats what they come here for the territorial wealth but do they have the same loyalty to the Australian people. Will they stand together as one if we go to war especially if their old country aligns with the other side.

Steve Madden,

What I mean by intregration is intregration of bloodlines. You can do it the love and romance way or you can wait a few generations and have tribal uprisings where the assimilation is bought about by more violent means. The men who commit ethnic cleansing act the same as males across all speices. They kill or drive off the males and mate with the females thus bringing about assimilation by brutal force.

This occurs in all wars even wars faught between different countries.

And it has been done by all races across the globe at different points of history, it would be hard to find any who hadnt done it in fact. That makes non intregration a potential timebomb.

KIWIS HAKA'S AND HYMNS ?

I'm not sure if I have it right, but it seems the Kiwi All Blacks are indulging in a bit of cultural impeerialism in Wales. How ?

http://www.theage.com.au/news/union/rites-and-wrongs/2006/11/27/1164476135607.html

[Richie McCaw, the All Black captain, declined to lead the haka as a protest at the Welsh Rugby Union's decision that Wales should have a right of reply, in the form of a stirring Welsh hymn.]

So.. if you reply with YOUR cultural preparation, we will spit the dummy, take out toys and sulk quietly... no Hakka nerr...

Of course this was in New Zealand right ? WRONG ! it was in CARDIFF WALES for crying out loud.

If this shows nothing else, it shows just how ethno/cultural centric people can be. Normally I have all the time in the world for the Kiwis, and specially the Maories but this ? grrrrrr... its plain infantile.
Maybe the Kiwi's are SCARED of a rousing rendition of '

Arglwydd, arwain trwy’r anialwch,
Fi, bererin gwael ei wedd,
Nad oes ynof nerth na bywyd
Fel yn gorwedd yn y bedd:
Hollalluog
Ydyw’r Un a’m cwyd i’r lan.

or..

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand

198 - concentrate guys - the double ton is well within your grasp - who will it be - Brain Drain perhaps , maybe that young fire brand obviosly or peprhaps an older war hourse like Boaz - its so close I can feel it:

In the mean time

Multiculturalism is part of us now -............................it is all over red rover - no amount of revisionst analysis will unscramble these eggs - so I suggest yet again get used to it - or maybe those who find it uncomfortable should move on - find an anglo mono culture and relocate - or at least a white one and assimilalte; assimilation seems to be dead easy according to some
