Jolanda, totally agree with you.

Boaz, See this one on the cronulla riots, Australian flag, and of course chapters of the national front. Is this kind of patriotism what you want my son, his Lbonese mate, his anglo mate, his Koori bro to become one with?

Because this is what they are offered or not offered to become or be attacked by.

All humans are a bit racist us included, but if you truly respect the truth SOME minoritys are far more racist than average Aussie.
And again if honesty matters education, that is none, poor or wrong is part of minority racism.
And we are bound for future trouble because of it but some minoritys are hurting themselves more than us with entenched racism.
See we are being educated to dislike them as much as they dislike us.
LIES yes some constantly and with intent lie every time they talk of this problem.
And the very worst lie is pure hate filled racists from minoritys saying our concerns are based on us being racist.
In time dreadfull as it in fact is Cronulla may return on a bigger scale.
But I have hopes, see the vaste majority of Australians ignore lies and those that foolishly use them as weapons.

Can the usual suspects stop deverting this thread to one about the first Australians?
If not can we at least speak the whole truth about the matter.
No I am not from the left or the right but I am sick of the lies.
And the very real harm we do to these people with the refusal to move on from the sins of long dead people.
Country town reality is many far too many of Australias first people are blameing others for a total lack of will to improve life for themselves.
If every charge against white Australia and our past generations is true why have so few climbed out of these country gettos?
Minority racism exists, it is no cure for a problem but it grows faster than self help in country Australia.

Adding on to my previous post..
Has anyone seen the uk version of Big Brother?? in an environment where you have to pick your ally in a small group environment, it appears the Indian actress has been sidelined and being ganged up on. It is disturbing. refer youtube for clips.

I still disagree with the concept that immigrants are racist, as some of you are trying to validate. It is the treatment that some of the "immigrants" go through that has created hostility between them and the white population. Most people come here with an open mind. The general lack of tolerance and acceptance/understanding by the white population of others' background and cultures are the main reasons of conflicts. Why can't people just accept others for who they are without passing personal judgement, as long as everyone is law-abiding and honest? is there something innate in human nature to do just that? I seriously doubt some of the commentators here when they proclaim they are not racist but contribute highly provocative postings.

You can dislike someone's culture and background, but to demand action to be taken based on that or to call to protest (see another current thread), is really a bit excessive. what behavior is it different to the Big Brother UK garbage as it is now causing people to realise the true nature of some of the self-righteous medieval thinkings of some forum commentators?

People are being law abiding.

Bullying, victimisation and harrassement borne from malice, prejudice and spite is PERMITTED by Law.

Didn't you know?

Jolanda: "People are being law abiding. Bullying, victimisation and harrassement borne from malice, prejudice and spite is PERMITTED by Law. Didn't you know?"

I think you'll find that such behaviour is actually illegal under the Racial Discrimination Act.

Or were you being ironic?
