Privileged 'whites' : Comments

By Jennifer Clarke, published 8/10/2007

Australia’s migration and citizenship laws privilege ‘whites’ in all sorts of ways.

Usual misleading is a very business of any political minder – whether it is immigration, employment or anything else in Australia or elsewhere.

Really, if 2.2m Australians subsist "below poverty line", how it has happened having about 5% of unemployed in this national-liberal neo-racist paradise recently?

And what a heck a reason for bringing in more slaves from overseas-if not putting more money into “job-service” trickery, a Labour leader wife is among professional service-providers is?

CJ Morgan: "Ethnic nationalism is doomed to failure.
A temporary phase in the creation of national culture.
Time and demographics will further consign "White Australia" to a slightly embarrassing historical memory."

Yes, the future is *inevitable*.
As it always has been so predictably thoroughout history.

We cannot in any way determine ourselves what the future of Australia will be.
It's already been determined for us.
We can only shrug our shoulders in resignation.

"Historical links to Britain will become increasingly vestigial."

Yes, while English becomes the dominant world language.
And British and American popular culture are exported worldwide, seen in every cinema and heard on every radio station.
Good luck de-Britishing the world, CJ!

Q&A: "Here is me thinking the border that really should be protected only extends 13 km up and envelops the whole world … a common border, silly me."

Yes, silly you.
No such "one world" has ever existed.
Human history is one of *thousands* of "worlds" i.e. cultural realities.

They can't all exist together *simultaneously*.
Each culture only exists because of some relative isolation from the other cultures.

The irony of multiculturalism is it thinks bringing them all together is respectful and beneficial.

But his process would actually end up *destroying* all cultural differences.
It would all end up blending together into gasp! A *monocultural* reality.

Some have claimed without multicultural immigration we'd be boring.
Some have said Australians are dumb, so we need smarter Asians to help us out.

Who cares if we're boring and dumb!
If that's what we are, then so be it.
Don't we have the right to be boring and dumb?

Do cultures only matter if they're "exotic" or "sophisticated"?
*Who* defines these terms anyway?
Who decides what's "smart" or "interesting"?

Australians have the right to be "Australian", however that's defined.
It certainly isn't defined as "the entire world and all its cultures".

As for helping all the starving millions elsewhere, this is impossible. There's too many.

Isn't our primary concern the wellbeing of those *already living here*?

As I said; weird. (And 'cacfix' is exacerbating rather than helping.)

Ginx,

I attempted to answer your nonsensical questions only to be told that I had "lost it".

I responded to that post only to have that response ignored and your insult repeated.

How much longer do you intend to persist with this harassment?

Yes you do, old mate - and let me be the first to say you exercise your right in exemplary fashion.

James Sinnamon/daggett/'cacfix'/sundry sock puppets: "How much longer do you intend to persist with this harassment?"

About as long as you continue to bleat disingenuously, I guess. If you'll just stop drawing attention to your apparently pathological multiplicity, I'm quite sure we'll all be able to engage in honest and sensible debate.

Personally, I'm quite happy for James to have his sock puppets,even if he persists in telling fibs about them. I actually quite liked the 'teaser' from his blog mate, but I haven't read the full article yet.

“No such ‘one world’ has ever existed.”

Depends on the context Shockadelic … or one’s perspective.

This is a very intriguing thread from the outlooks you, and others wish to travel (and I doubt Jennifer would have seen it metamorphosing as it has – any comments JC?).

However, purely from a scientific point of view … humanity has only ‘one world’ with a common border and believe it or not, this border is under threat.

Without going too far off topic, if the thread hasn’t already, my point would be that humanity in general, regardless of skin colour, culture, ideology or level of dumbness … needs to address this issue as much as MC or identity, if not more.

The only way for conflict to be resolved is through mutual respect and recognising the multi-lateral or global problems to be solved. Unless we do this, GW or no GW, our ‘one world’ will not exist as you say, regardless of multiculturalism, identity or the colour of one's skin.

Sweet dreams.
