Suse,

Now, now! 'slant' is not an appropriate word to use in the context discussing Chinese people.

Is Mise, you always have to take it just that one step further don't you?
Bad boy. : )

Dear all,

Like I said before, time will tell and I bet I'm proven correct in my predictions.

BTW, does anyone know if one can upload photos into these posts? I could take some typical scenes of Sydney to demonstrate my case.

Mr Opinion, you do not need to upload photos. I am visiting Sydney right now and yes, there are many Asian faces on the streets and public transport. But because of where I am staying, and the fact that it's just been Chinese New Year, I can be absolutely certain that many of these are tourists (and isn't that a good thing for the economy?)
Using my earlier Italian analogy, there are probably just as many or more Italian faces on the streets, it's just that they are not so easily identifiable.
There are websites that have maps of the distribution/ population numbers of ethnic groups across cities. Check out Sydney for Chinese and Italian, they are pretty much the same. Sorry I can't add web address here, using a mobile phone.
Please, can you extend your paranoia, and give us a comment on the dangers of an Italian takeover, or maybe a New Zealand one. Oh god, too late, that's already happened!

Suse,

I doubt very much that you read anything at all. If you did, you wouldn't be as ignorant as you are, making hit and run statements without having a clue what you are on about. You are flippant and shallow.

Mr Opinion,

Many immigrants, tourists and even some students prefer to use their native language as they're more familiar with it. The children of the ones who remain in Australia will be bilingual, but with a preference for using english. And the third generation will probably not bother learning the language of their grandparents.

Did they fail to teach you that at university?

Where did you get the idea that there were millions of Chinese in Australia? AIUI the number of permanent residents born in mainland China is about half a million, plus another hundred thousand from Hong Kong?

And even if there were millions of Chinese in Australia, it would not even begin to answer the questions you're still trying to wimp out of:
Why do you ignore all your training in socio cultural analysis and instead believe racist paranoia?
Why do you assume Chinese Australians, unlike other migrant groups, will retain a primary loyalty to their ancestral home? And why do you assume they will support the Chinese Communist Party?
