Individual

Trying to win an argument with this lot is like trying to win a dry Weet Bix eating competition.

This is how it works; build a three bedroom brick veneered house, fill it up with twenty relos and victimhood remains intact: Were in overcrowding unsafe housing now, more please!

I've looked up the meaning of "racism."

According to the Human Rights Commission they say that:

"Racism is the process by which systems, policies, actions,
and attitudes create unequal opportunities and outcomes
for people. It's more than prejudice in thought and action.
It happens when whether individual or institutional is
accompanied by power to discriminate against, oppress, or
limit the rights of others."

Therefore it would appear that setting up barriers, and
bans for refugees coming from Gaza - does amount
to racism.

So according to this definition, racism has nothing to do with race.

Struth....

mhaze,

It's broader than just race. As explained its the process
by which systems, policies, actions, and attitdues create
unequal opportunities and outcomes for people. It can be
based on race, ethnicity, religion, culture, et cetera.

It's also more than prejudice in thought or action - again
as stated earlier - it happens where whether individual or
institutional actions are accompanied by power to discriminate
against, or oppress or limit the rights of others.

I hope this helps you - towards better understanding.

Peter Dutton has escalated the Coalition's rhetoric
against Palestinians fleeing the Gaza war zone claiming
none should be allowed into Australia due to an
unspecified "security risk."

This contradicts the assessment by ASIO Chief - Mike
Burgess.

The Prime Minister explained that "We take our advice
from the director-general of ASIO and the security agencies,
not from someone looking for a fight, or division."

I guess it all depends which view you share.

The PM explained that "We currently have a process where ASIO
vets people, where we have national security checking and -
memo to Mr Dutton - the government is using the same process
he used when in government."

Foxy said "According to the Human Rights Commission they say that: "Racism is the process by which systems, policies, actions,

Answer- I've thought for some time that the Human Rights Commission is itself biggoted and genocidal when it denies the rights of a people to protect itself from outside forces. Equality of Outcome seems to be a principle that has been around as part of Communism since the 1920-1930's. If the Commissioner of Human Rights is preaching Equality of Outcome I suspect their loyalty to the Australian nation and to the vested interest of those with deep roots. Does the founding descendants of a nation have a right to exist?

Equality of opportunity on the other hand is considered important as part of the concept of rule of law in mass societies.

What we are seeing is a conflict between different rights, the question is which rights should take precedence in different circumstances. I believe that those that created something have more rights than those who didn't. Marxists don't believe in property rights. All Marxist societies have failed to be productive and have destroyed themselves. Sun Tzu said that the military will eventually burn itself out because it is an unproductive kleptocracy- and so is Marxism.
