What bugs me is how people can conflate violent crime committed by youths of "ethnic" descent with multiculturalism. Where exactly in Lebanese culture is street violence condoned?
What about all the other law-abiding people of a variety of ethnic and other cultural backgrounds who live decent lives. Why should their right to live in a pluralistic society be threatened because some people don't like multiculturalism (and almost by necessary definition ... multiracialism).
And for the record I've known a lot of decent Lebanese guys who have held down good jobs, worked hard and obeyed the law all their lives. Why should these guys be smeared by anti-Lebanese sentiments that emerge from the actions of a fairly small group of people. After all, there are over 70,000 people of Lebanese descent in Australia.
