bennie stated "you'll need to accept there are some of us who prefer a little variety in life."
there is enough variety in a homogenous monocultural society, physically(genetically): green eyed red headed women, blue eyed dark haired women, blond haired brown eyed men(all of the one race) and culturally sport for example (afl in the southern states nrl in the northern)< but this is natural genetic and cultural diveristy, not fake forced diversity.
How much forced fake unnatural diversity do you want? and at what cost? there was enough natural diversity in 1930's australia without all the (no go zones and tribes, extreme crime of modern day australia)
"you'll need to accept there are some of us who prefer a little variety in life." YOU HAD IT, safely and naturally! pre multiculturalism!

Multiculturalism, defined as the abandonment of one’s own culture in order not to offend the feelings of those who have fled their “superior cultures” for the likes of ours, while in pursuit of protections afforded to them by their new country (formerly ours) in an attempt to utilize their new found freedoms to better the situations of their own kind, while using the cries of racism and xenophobia to establish a microcosm of their former countries on the unsuspecting and naïve new land they now call their own. Please, I take great pleasure in the thought of multiculturalism and its decline here in the states as well. For years I have had to listen to the mantra of the left and the need to embrace all cultures but my own. Why should I not take pride in the achievements of Western society? Why does the west continue to prosper? Why do so many millions flee their own countries for ours? I am not ashamed to admit I believe the West is superior in many ways and this doesn’t make me a racist to say so. We tell others to take pride in their cultures why is it different for those of European descent? Unless the West wakes up and realizes that millions are looking to take advantage of our laws and will exploit every loop hole they can under the protection of the moronic left, Western culture will fade into history just as the Romans did during their malaise that allowed mass amounts of foreign peoples into their society without proper assimilation and loyalties leading to their eventual decline.

Dear Andrew,

This is a great article! Multiculturalism has been tarnished in Australia in the last couple of years. We must do whatever it takes to make the Government and Australia's society realise that multiculturalism remains one of the most important values to Australia's regional and global identity!

Cheers,

Obviously

I was happy to ignore your poor grammar and spelling in previous posts but I must pick you up on this one “As of last year we just excepted African refugees” I think you mean “as of last year we accepted African refugees”

Excepted means to leave out or exclude. So I guess you are saying as of last year we excluded African refugees.

Maybe an English language test should be mandatory before you are allowed to leave school. :)

Obviously obviously has learned to use SpellCheck since his/her first post.

It is to your credit as anyone who uses Youse (Used) and hederosexual shows their own ignorance more than their intelligence.

Perhaps obvioulsy might one day realise that SpellCheck cannot stop him/her using Excepted when they mean Accepted or tell him/her why to plus to doesn't make fore.

Your youth can be forgiven you - your limited wisdom can be appreciated and allowed for, but if you intend to make comments on this forum ( as is your right) you might do well to consider that almost everyone here has more intelligence than you and if they say something it is probably for a good reason ( just like you think you have - only they likely have more experience of why they could be wrong than you possess).

Read what they write - if you dont agree with it or understand it try asking why they said something - some (not all) will reply positively and you may gain in knowledge and wisdom - it will take a lifetime but the benefits exceed the disadvantages of not gaining wisdom.

You would be wise to learn that and give a little more thought to your next posts.

Welcome to OLO : )

It's obvious - obviously, how you might benefit from being knee deep in our swarthy brothers and sisters - As I so often find myself and indeed revel in them and their crazy un western ways

- I have lived in suburbs where I could eat the food of a different nationality 7 nights a week - thats one beneift - but marginal.

But you are an active part of it even when you dont know it - your taxes pay for multi lingual publications, interpreter services in hospitals and grants to organisation of Non English SPeaking BAck grounds - that must make you feel better straight away.

And if you are expecting African refugees - half your luck! to ask what benefit you will receive assumes that you deserve one in the first place -

it also presupposes their presence will have a negative impact - but after peoples heads stop snapping around taking a gawk - the pian associated with a sore neck will pass and all will be right with the world

What minority is winning what over whom? - if the rules let them in - and they do - although our gubment is trying hard to change that - in they come and adjust we do

There is no on air debate - no referendum - none needed: the building blocks are in place - we just need to sit back and feel the vibe - get jiggy with our African brothers and sisters.

Driving aint no problem neither is the money.

And we are not excluding the British.

I still fail to see how immigrants can be equated with a form of peril. Cant understand why you would feel unsaf
