otb,

I stand by the documented historical records
of the time. I repeat - they can be found in Immigration
Museums, National and State Libraries,
and in the Bonegilla Migrant Immigraton Museum, and other
migrant museums and ethnic libraries around the country.

Of-course - while untrue - what you choose to believe is
beyond my control.

Kindly stop referring to me as "the girl-child
of migrants." I am not a child - nor a migrant.
Australia is a country of migrants. Your
ancestors as well as mine - all came from somewhere else
at some time.

I do not have a "chip" on my shoulder - nor am I
anti-Australia or Australians. I happen to be one.
I do not view presenting historical facts -
of previous government policies that affected so
many - as being bad. Nor do I view a criticism
of those policies as "sledging" Australia or
Australians. After all a tolerance of
criticism and dissenting opinions is fundamental to
democracy. It is important that governments should
recognise the grievances of minorities that have
little political clout.

This is the message that the add campaigns of "Beyond Blue,"
try to tell us about our Indigenous People.

cont'd ...

I am not the only Australian who has done well
in this country. But Well, so what.

What's that got to do with anything.

My parents greatly valued education and training.
They sent all of their children to higher education,
working several shifts in order to do it. We entered
professions, after years of ardous study, work, and sacrifice.
Nobody gave us anything for nothing. We had to work
for what we achieved.

Foxy,

None, nada, nil, zero, zilch, zip of those Lituanian migrants ever claimed the ill-treatment or discrimination you are claiming and you know it.

In wrongly and unfairly lambasting Australia you are embarrassing their attainments and memory too.

Individual wrote, "I have witnessed racism from anglo-saxons and non-anglo saxons and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I found the anglo-saxons to be the lesser racist".

Thanks so much individual for your open admission that anglo-saxons are racist.

otb,

It's very revealing that you think that
would be true.

Are you sure that this is an argument you want
to continue to make.

Onthebeach is not too bright Foxy. That's life.
