One of the most serious problems of multiculturalism is competition between ethnic groups – one bunch of ethnics fighting it out with another bunch of ethnics.
The Indian media takes its lead from the Australian media, and the Australian media is interested only in stirring up controversy by suggesting that Australians are racist; they don’t mention the sort of ‘Australians’ involved. The assailants could very well not be the people Indians see as Australians: white Anglo-Saxons, but they will not know that from our muck-stirring media and a certain type of self-hating Australians going out of their way to show white people in a bad light. We see the ‘white man-bad, dark man-good’ nonsense every day, and on these pages.
There has been more nastiness and ‘racism’ brought to Australia by multiculturalism and the introduction of disparate groups of immigrants with old hatreds than was ever present as an ‘Australian phenomena’. Most of it is between competing ethnic groups.
The Indian media is clearly just as irresponsible as the Australian media, and it blasts Australia with total disregard for daily violence in its own country, the caste system, the shocking disparity of wealth and continuing Hindu-Muslim hatreds. Indians murder each other at the rate of 30,000 annually.
But, we shouldn’t judge India and Indians and the attitudes to Australia by what we read in their media and our own media. The real relationship is carried on by governments and diplomats, and there has been none of the hysteria in those areas.
Nor should Australians accept the absolute rubbish about Australian ‘racism’ put about by the media and the loony Left.
