Foxy sweetie, please don't bring that disgusting bit of slime Philip Adams into the discussion, we don't want people chucking up all over their valuable keyboards.

Foxy,

Phillip Adams is your expert, eh? The self-described Bodgie, the Bogan of his day.

Now that has been dealt with so many times in so many threads before. Particularly where you went on and on and on with your broken-record sledging of Australians as 'Nullaboring' and needing to be diversified forever, and out of existence. Your despised culturally-deficient 'White' Australians, their culture and traditional inheritance to be expunged from the Earth.

You quote Adams because he is the guru of the same cultural elitism as you do. It is the cultural elitism of the fashionable, well-off educated middle class lefties of the Seventies. Dinosaurs.

You really are locked into a time warp, a rut, aren't you?

You say you are comfortably well to do, you and your architect partner. You have a university education, full rights and a full belly courtesy of Australia.

As an educated woman in public employment (as a well remunerated librarian) and as the child of migrants as well, you had the advantage of the special development and advancement conditions of affirmative action in the public services. Isn't forty years of advantage enough that your middle class entitlement demands even more victim status?

In fact you represent the privileged elite.

In brief because it has been dealt with often, you lack balance and personal insight.

You are forever enthusiastic to challenge, excuse, rationalise and scoff at any criticism of multicultural and immigration policy, or (say) the ethnic thugs taking over bikie gangs. But where your despised 'White'(sic) Australians are concerned, any and all criticism is fair and extended to the whole population.

Yours is the bigotry of the comfortably well-off educated middle class leftie snobs, cultural elitists. You are now so 'progressive'. As Peter Hitchens said on Q&A, the leftie 'Progressives' have already won the cultural war, so why are you still complaining?

Peter Hitchens,

Dear Hasbeen,

Just attempting to add, enrich, stimulate and
amplify people's knowledge. It's an occupational
habit. When librarians do exercise our professional
judgement, we do make certain that our choices do
not contain inappropriate material. We fully recognise
that there are some areas that are anti-human, hurtful,
as well as harmful. For example, racism, sexism, anti-
Semitism, and so on. These areas are irrational avenues
of intellectual pursuit.

otb,

Lay off the stereotypes, and your irrational avenues of
intellectual pursuit

Foxy,

Those very Australians your foreign-cringing cultural elitism sledges as 'Nullaboring' and worse, are the very people who died in their thousands freeing that bastion of your cultural elitism, Europe, from a dreadful tyrant,

AND

extended that very generous offer of asylum to your forebears who were languishing in a camp of displaced persons under awful conditions following WW2.

While you cannot even find it in your heart to thank the Australia and the Labor politician, Arthur Caldwell, who offered the Lithuanian migrants the sanctuary they took up enthusiastically, the Lituanian migrants themselves did. However you even deny the evidence of a photograph taken at the time, claiming spitefully that it must have been some public relations exercise (in 1947 on that boat and given the conditions?!). It was the Lituanians who were giving the gift as a thankful gesture!

otb,

Repitition of false accusations does not make
them true. It turns them into - harrassment,
and abuse.

You need to stop.

Foxy "the option of multi-culturalism involves taking some considerable risks"

Option, what option?
We had a choice?

Look at what that "risk" has produced in America, Fiji, Israel/Palestine, the Former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union.

You'd think by the know we'd know the "risk" of mixing many peoples together is NOT WORTH IT.

"In the past we've had to travel the globe"

Now we have the internet, CD and DVD recordings, etc.

The world's cultures are *data*, accessible to anyone who wants it.

"Not every Australian agrees with your take on things"
"views such as Shocker's belong to a small minority in this country"

And among Tibetans, Faroese, Sami, Kashmiris, Palestinians, Basque, Kurds, Sardinians, Chechen, Manx, Turkish Cypriots, Québécois, West Papuans, Crimean Tatars, Tamil in Sri Lanka, Albanians in Kosovo, Cham in Vietnam, Copts in Egypt, Ossetians in Georgia, Toubou in Libya, Igbo in Nigeria, Moro in the Philippines, Ainu in Japan, etc.

I could go on and on and on.

Many peoples in this world already live in Multiland and are not happy, Jan.

Such a movement will emerge here too one day.
The more multi, the more sooner.

JayI23 "he considered people of other ethnicity to be aliens."

Buy a dictionary.

Or perhaps Foxy can give you some linguistics lessons.
