From a Bangladeshi website via The Gates of Vienna:

“Multiculturalism is an unnatural and unhealthy condition that can only afflict countries in national decline. (…) Greed and corruption will characterise the government coupled with oppressive measures directed against its citizens. Lies and deceit will be the stock and trade of media, politicians, and educational institutions.” Multiculturalism “is used to prevent a national consensus among the electorate. It erodes values, cultures, beliefs, religions, ethnic habits, etc. ensuring a swirling river of discontent upon which the multiculturalists rides. It is a perfect method of ensuring that there can never be accord, unity, or a commonly shared destiny among those ruled.”

So, what is the point of multiculturalism? Was it simply a convenient excuse used for displacing the traditional “white-bread” culture of Australia by flooding the country with mass immigration under the cover of “cultural diversity”? Is this inherently anti-Western ideology creating a national and civilizational identity crisis? Why do we continue to endure the divisiveness and dogma associated with multiculturalism?

Dres...the point IS as you say YES.. it is exactly all those things.

Why continue ? fear probably, certainly not any effective enhancement of national pride and direction.

Culturally, we are like the bloke who jumped on his horse and 'rode off in all directions' :)

cheers... now just wait for the racist, bigoted, anti Australia posters who oppose this enlightened view :)

ONE NATION, ONE CULTURE ONE RACE....(refer original post for meaning :)

"now just wait for the racist, bigoted, anti Australia posters who oppose this enlightened view :)"

Riiight, so those who support the view that we should limit immigration to white western europeans who believe exactly what we do are broad minded, while those who believe that we can be a pluralistic society without caving in each others heads are bigots.

Double plus good my friend. Its good to see Double speak being adopted so widely.

And in other news gravity actually propels objects away from the ground.

careful, james, there appears to be something like 'antigravity', in intergalactic space.

closer to home, plenty of evidence of 'antilogic'.

Boazy: "ONE NATION, ONE CULTURE ONE RACE"

Sieg Heil!

Maybe the way to look at it is that multiculturalism cant suceed where there are too many bigoted people. Maybe this is the case for Australia?? Do we keep banging our heads against the proverbial brick wall and forcing it down the throats of people who refuse to swallow it? I'm not sure that this is a particularly good approach. Does it make us bad people if we cant handle multiculturalism... perhaps, but even if it does, it still doesnt make it work just because some want it to. If you think there is a problem, then you need to cure the problem before bringing on the masses. If you keep going you'll end up with the same result that I get when force-feeding my 2 y.o. - spat right back at me!
