cont'd ...

Dear runner,

BTW: "Being harassed on public transport, constantly being
asked "Where do you come from?" when you've lived here
for most of your life, (or have a foreign sounding name),
not getting a job interview because of your Middle-Eastern
sounding name, or missing out on a rental property because of
your skin colour ..." And the list goes on.

Taken from the link given below.

Perhaps some people have earned the right to "poop" as you put it.

Dear Foxy,

It surely should be automatic that migrants are given every opportunity to improve their skills, especially their language skills, and become citizens, full citizens. In Australia, there should never be any different classes of citizenship - once someone is a citizen, every opportunity available should be open to them to stand for election in local, state and federal elections etc.

What seems to be happening in France and Germany, and other countries too probably, are systems of entrenched, lifelong inequality and limits on people's abilities, rights really, to become full citizens. Germany' system, for example, (and perhaps they have changed it) revolved around German ancestry: one had to have at least one parent who was already German, otherwise one could never become a citizen, nor have access to the full range of social benefits. I hope that we will never have anything like that here.

Migrants have always amply shown that they are prepared to work for Australia: we should always honour that 'contract' by welcoming them and offering full citizenship as soon as possible.

Love,

Joe

are you saying that multi- culturalism does not work all that well. For years you have been espousing its success.

btw white people with big ears, a stutter, being shot, being fat, being old, being skinny, having red hair also experience bullying, job exclusion etc. Most however have not joined the victim industry.

There are several white aussie haters on the abc that have been given jobs and privilege that many others have not had . They usually wear Islamic headgear. As women in their own country they would not have a say. Hear they poop on the county that gave them a privileged job and many opportunities. They play the victim card not seeing their own hypocrisy.

Waleed Aly as a muslim has achieved great success here in Austalia but still defends Islam. Go figure. How many Christians or secularist have achieved in Islamic nations?

I see nothing wrong with this.

Well, if were to take seriously the waffle about how good and important immigrants are, we Australians could decide to stay in bed and leave the immigrants to get on with things and keep us in the manner to which we are accustomed.

Dear Joe,

«In Australia, there should never be any different classes of citizenship»

Actually I would support that idea.

Each class of citizenship would combine more privileges with more obligations.

This can only be fair, for immigrants, Australian-born and aboriginal-Australians alike, where each person can choose their level of involvement and commitment.

The basic requirement is that we all respect each other's freedoms in a spirit of live-and-let-live. Any involvement beyond that should be voluntary, so that different people can choose between several weaker and stronger levels of mutual obligations.
