That AP is junk, call you what we like? I hope you are young, time may fix your problems.
Those post war migrants,and those who gave us them, made our country.
I except, shamelessly am part of,concerns about recent middle eastern migration, nothing to do with nationality.
And know, some from that back ground are going to do great things for this country and them selves.
Peng no media in this country can resist giving blown up self important fools a platform to say silly things, this TV show proves that.

Yes it was remiss of me generalising by the use of the phrase "most Australians", but I do believe that many Australians, certainly the majority I am acquainted with, have no issue with race or culture.

I can't believe anyone would use the term "third world dross" to describe human beings who very often find themselves in situations of poverty or civil war over which they have little control.

Our ancestors were all "dross" once including my Irish ancestors who by the actions of an imperialist English government lost the right to own property (even a donkey), speak their own language, go to school and were victims of famine while thousands of tonnes of food were being exported from Ireland to line the pockets of landowners. I am sure the landed gentry of that time used similar derisory terms to validate their own behaviour and self interests.

I saw the program

I thought it kind to Calwell

No "two Wongs" quoted

I forgot to look at the second installment of the program Peng, but I am sorry I missed it. :(

I was disgusted enough by the following comments to want to contribute to the thread anyway.
Austin Powerless <"Most Australians (at least the White ones) would prefer that we did not import the unwanted dross from third world destinations..."

Speak for yourself AP!
I haven't noticed this at all in any of the people (various ancestry) that I mix with.

Words you wrote, such as 'white ones', 'savages' and 'dross' speak volumes about you ...

Austin Powerless,

You said (amongst your catalogue of "pleasantries"): "Call me what you like, I don't care."

I really couldn't be bothered wasting my breath calling you anything - but I will quote Goethe to you:
"There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action."

pelican,
I believe you are right that most Australians do not care about race but culture is a different matter all together. If you talk to people you will find that, like myself, they object to many aspects of other cultures and expect new arrivals to integrate into our society and forgo certain aspects of their original culture.

I could easily list some that I find alien, but am sure you are aware of some cultural practices that you cannot abide or accept.

In fact, I think we should discriminate and stop immigration of those groups that cannot or will not intergrate. I reckon about 90% do make the cultural adjustments to fit in. A non-discriminatory policy does not do a thing to enhance our society and is an ideolodgical dream.
