Think this won't happen here ? Democratic my lilly-white butt !

"What I find strange though is the fact people at these rallies only ended up in Australia due to family members immigrating to Australia."

Oh no, here we go, I'll try to be nice.
Lets start here...

Back in 1810 for me my paternal forefather came here NathanJ,
12 generations ago, and I have a small part of indigenous ancestry.
I dare you to call me a fecking immigrant.

"I would say the bigger issue here, is that we actually have a racism problem. These people objecting have a dislike for those from other countries, despite the fact their family members came from overseas."

Not all immigrants seem to be as desireable as others.
So what if people are racist, maybe that just simply means 'preference', as in prefer no crazy religious lunatics, prefer people who want to be here and embrace our lifestyle and ways, prefer people who arent here 2 minutes and starting pointing the finger and complaining their taxpayer funded handout wasn't big enough.

Why wouldn't people prefer their own kind?
the immigrants do and it's not a problem if they do it.
Why would people who have lived long enough to see their suburbs overrun with foreigners and themselves become a minority be overjoyed about it?

My vote doesn't buy me a say in the type of people I'd prefer to coming here.
I never voted for Africans with machetes and streets blocked for Muslim prayers.

'...simultaneous rise of antisemitism, Islamophobia, white nationalism, hostility to migration and racial violence'.

So, diversity IS or ISN'T a strength?

Armchair Critic,
Well, for decent caucasians it definitely isn't strength !

Looks like this UK soldier found a better place to be at.

Armchair Critic,

<<Back in 1810 for me my paternal forefather came here NathanJ,

Well you still benefited from people coming from other places, outside of Australia.

<<Not all immigrants seem to be as desireable as others.>>

Well neither are many people already living here in Australia. I don't always get on with some of my own family members. We disagree on positions or issues and we don't always get on, even in the best of times.

<<So what if people are racist, maybe that just simply means 'preference', as in prefer no crazy religious lunatics...>>

I notice here you have been pro-Palestinian. Not something I oppose though.

To put this in perspective the Liberal Party recently came out against the government welcoming Palestinian refugees at an Australian airport. Why is that acceptable? I would argue their opposition is political and based around hatred and double standards more than anything else.

In terms of crazy religious lunatics, embracing our way of life etc. also very selective and ignores the fact Australia to a certain degree is based around freedoms. Not totally, but to a good degree.

Also note this from social media:

"Palestinian Christians in Australia warmly welcome our newest arrivals (the ones greeted by Tony Burke) into our beautiful country. Several people landed last night in Sydney and Melbourne, and we are overjoyed to see loved ones finally reunited - spouses, children, parents and friends embracing once again after long periods apart."

I would hardly call that a religious, lunatic, fringe view coming from Palestinians in Australia.

<<Why wouldn't people prefer their own kind... suburbs with other people and so on.....>>

Many do prefer and like people of various types and backgrounds and like the dynamics that comes from such variety. It's all interesting and likeable.
