Rape gang story in a form some might find more understandable...

http://tiny.cc/gyw4001

"Police, whose duty it was to look after the most vulnerable, either arrested the girls, dismissed their pleas for help or left them with their tormentors. For that famously kind and decent land had fallen under a strange enchantment, which was called MULTICULTURALISM. It said that, no matter how wicked or cruel the men were to the children, you must never speak of it. The dark spell, and what a powerful spell it was (enough to vanquish justice and compassion), caused any who dared to say that Pakistani Muslim men were targeting white girls to become the bad people. Because ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL, you see, even ones that don’t believe in equality or which agree that girls who aren’t virgins are whores and deserve to be punished."

"And when the monsters swore at the children whom they were raping, saying, “White slag!” “White c—!” – well, that wasn’t at all racist. Because MULTICULTURALISM and the BBC say it cannot be so."

"And the monsters drugged and bribed them, they made them sex slaves, branding the girls’ flesh with their initials, ramming large implements into their tiny bodies the better to accommodate four men."

"Then, one day, the richest man in the whole wide world came along and broke the dark spell. "

"Sir Keir genuinely seems more outraged about Elon Musk...than he is about the 12-year-old who was driven at night to a Yorkshire wood where she was forced to give oral sex to at least 10 men (more cars kept arriving as word spread) before being left alone in the dark."

"Countries like German and the UK are having problems because or decades they had the "come one and all" policies. Allowing migrants with poor language skills and qualifications who found themselves on the welfare state."

Well done Foxy!

Finally caught on, or caught up.

Foxy started off asking "Why are some people against multiculturalism?" and has now answered her own question. Or partially answered it.

The multiculturalism mantra is unravelling all around the world, or at least in those parts of the world which have previously fallen for it. Australia is behind the curve here, but we'll catch up. Part of the reason for that is that we never imported alien cultures in the numbers that other nations did. And that's down to the good sense of our past politicians from Howard's "we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances under which they come" to Abbott's "Stop the Boats" victory.

They were vilified as racist at the time but are now clearly beacons for Australia and the world.

Hi Again Foxy,

I didn't answer your original question. "Why are some people against multiculturalism?" Fear, loathing, hate, racisms, lots of reasons. There is the likes of the Trumpster and others here, trying to equate what are vile and disgusting crimes in England to peoples ethnicity. News buddy, all ethnic groups produce criminals, Arab, Asian, African, even Anglos like you.

On the subject, post war immigration to Australia has been an absolute boon for the countries development. It has been the primary reason for the post war rise in living standards enjoyed by all, including the Trumpster and others who try to denigrate migrants. Fortunately the sieg heiling goose steppers in snappy black uniforms are in the minority these days.

p/s I am a strong believer in diversity, and the benefits it has brought to the majority of us. Unfortunately there's nothing in it for the Old Farts, well, nothing they can perceive.

"News buddy, all ethnic groups produce criminals"

Paul, we all know you are fact adverse but literally no one is denying these rape gangs were almost entirely Pakistani men and boys who raped young white girls and the occasional Sikh girl. No one knows how many but numbers of 250,000 girls are in the ball park. And they did it because of their culture. Sorry that the facts don't fit you fantasies, but they rarely do.

" post war immigration to Australia has been an absolute boon for the countries development. "

Its the laziest of logic. Bringing in Italian refugees in 1950 helped us build the Snowy-Hydro therefore bringing in Afghan goat herders in 2018 is good!! Logic takes a holiday.

I guess it should not come as a surprise that there
are some Australians who are still against
multiculturalism.

Australia's history is filled with attempts to
shape policies
and attitudes towards cultural diversity
and immigration - both welcoming and unwelcoming to migrants.

We've had the White Australia Policy formerly the Immigration
Restriction Act that was introduced back in 1901 as a response
to Chinese arrivals through the gold rush of the
19th century. It gave British migrants preference.

Then after WWII the White Australia Policy was gradually
dismantled. Thousands of refugees arrived in Australia.
The government was searching for ways to address the severe
labour shortage. Populate or Perish was the catch phrase.

Of course bias and prejudice did raise its head at times.
Outmoded labels like "Wog", "Dago" and many other terms were
flung about and people were told to "Speak English" on
buses, trams, and trains. Assimilation was expected. As was
"Britishness".

Many refugees changed or Anglosized their names to try to fit in.
Yet,

Cultural diversity slowly became a reality in Australia.
With groups insisting on wanting to preserve their
culture.

The government in turn became focused on policies and
programs to try and help New Australians integrate into
society. Instead of assimilation - integration became key.

Things changed even further under Malcolm Fraser. More than
50,000 Vietnamese refugees were settled in Australia. A
series of institutions were created to cater to the country's
increasing diverse community, including the SBS (Special
Broadcasting Service).

And so it went. Criticisms of course persisted. And it undoubtedly
will continue.

I won't continue to go into this country's history. The main thing
for most of us is to try to not focus on the worst things of
the past but to try to celebrate the good things that have been
achieved and to look to the future in a celebratory and
positive way. We have much to be grateful for.
We need to try to correct the mistakes of the past. And look with
hope to the future. The past can't be reversed. The future
can be of benefit to all.

mhaze,

Afgans who've come to Australia work in many professions.
Including skilled work, community service, construction, Dept. of
Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australian Defence Force, Australian
Federal Police, Politics,. They've been coming since the mid
1800s. They've made names for themselves as -
cameleers, athletes, journalists, writers, and other
professionals.

They've even started their own businesses.With great success.

But whatever humps your camel.
