indyvidual,

You ask how many communities are there here in Australia
that live in harmony like the Anglo ones? This country started
out as a penal colony and the early history and what followed
cannot be described as : living in harmony," by an stretch of
the imagination. Immigrants coming to this country formed their
own communities - from the Baltic people, Lithuanians, Latvians,
Estonians, to the Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Italians, Germans,
and many others who contributed in so many ways economically as
well setting up businesses and industries from the wine, construction,
and many others. Including building our country's infrastructures.

Which ones according to you don't live in harmony?

Bad people exist in all communities including ones with
Anglo ancestries. Look at the criminal history of this country
and who the criminals were and ran the crime syndicates.
A mixed lot weren't they? And still are. We are one and we are many
and from all the lands on earth we come...

But we are all Australian!

And to say that only one lot are is in today's Australia being
nto only unrealistic but racist.

CM,

"From my (CM) perspective those that believe in multiculturalism are racist."

As a white supremacist you would say that. People with your way of thinking don't see themselves as racists, but just the opposite

Anyone who doesn't accept the reality of multicultural
Australia has a very narrow-mindset and vision.

I watched the Australia Day celebrations from Canberra
this year. The inclusion of our First Nations people, their
speeches, ceremonies, dance, music, and flags, made it more special.
And the citizenship ceremony that followed - showed how wide our
diversity really is. With people from around the globe proudly
pledging their allegiance to this country and being happy and proud
to be recognized as Australians.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but, aren't the indigenous recognised as equal Australians since 1967 ?
The dilemma seems to be they themselves or rather too many of them don't seem to think so !
Being a citizen of a Nation is vastly different to being indigenous as far as the responsibility stakes are concerned. Everyone has the same Rights but when some think they don't require the same responsibilities then the Rights dwindle.
Being there is vastly different to being a contributing member of a society particularly when the benefits of society are demanded. To my knowledge, no-one has yet opted out & requested to revert back to a pre-Colonialisation way of existence & forfeit the modern conveniences &
leaving incapacitated fend for themselves.

Equality is a word, and in the immediate period after the 67 referendum the Coalition government continued to discriminate against Aboriginal people. Pronouncing one "equal" without equality of action on both sides does not make one so. Successive governments of both persuasions, starting with Whitlam in 72, and carried to the present time continued to impose 'European Settler' responses to Aboriginal issues, often well meaning, but doomed to failure. By assuming that 'European Settler' mentality white Australia was being both discriminatory and racists.

BTW, racism comes in many forms, from the hard core haters to the softly spoken well intended.
