Oh,o ... I thought Foxy had finally cottoned on. But then...

Well, resume normal transmission.

Its the laziest of logic. Some immigrants are successful therefore multiculturalism is successful.

Not everyone fails, not everyone succeeds at what they chose
to do. And there are different measures of success dpending
on your values.

My parents wanted us to learn about the history of this country.
They also wanted us to learn about our own occupied country. They
felt it important to know and try to understand the heritage of
our past as well as our future heritage.

They wanted us to be culturally aware so that we could
acknowledge our world views and knowledge.

At the same time I grew up experiencing many other cultures as
well. Growing up in the Western suburbs of Sydney - it was
hard not to.

I found that it all helped me grow as a person.
Travelling also helped. It built empathy and helped me navigate social
complexities. I got a better understanding of the differences in
the cultures and beliefs of others.

Cultures and their heritages reflect and shape values, beliefs
and aspirations - defining a people's national identity.
Therefore it is important to preserve our own national heritage
because it keeps our integrity as a people.

Multiculturalism has worked because Australian governments
with thrit services and programs amd immigration systems
have tried to eliminate racism and discrimination.

Something of which we can all now be proud. And which has finally
allowed for individual differences and successes.

Three cheers... another example of the success of multiculturalism.

The success or failure of multiculturalism isn't about the success or otherwise of individuals. Its about the effects on society. In Australia, mixing of cultures is bearable because the numbers of those from alien cultures has been kept small and manageable by those who understand the potential problem.

Multiculturalism has monumentally failed in other locations like England, France, Germany and to some extent the US because numbers weren't controlled and those from alien cultures were allowed in in numbers that destabilised the economy and the national consensus.

Saying multiculturalism is fine and acceptable only when numbers are small is like saying leprosy is okey-dokey so long as its restricted to the pinkie.

If people want to continue their multicultural fantasies then so be it. So long as that doesn't extend to wanting to expand what is clearly a failed experiment.

The reality is multiculturalism in Australia is not
a "failed experiment". On the contrary. It's been
a successful one. And the reason it happened was because
Aussie lions stopped being led by British donkeys.

It may have been forgotten, or some never knew that we had a grooming
gang here in Sydney quite some years back. Called the Bilal gang.
One girl was courageous enough to speak out and unlike Britain the
Police acted. I cannot remember if some were sent to gaol.
It did get to the courts however and it was a moslem gang.
It never got, as far as I know, to the organised level that it was in the UK.
There were a few people that tried to hush it up.
