Dear Bazz,

Sounds like you are seeing the same thing I am: lots and lots of Chinese around Sydney. Must be something wrong with our eyes because as mhaze as pointed out only 1 in 20 people in Sydney is Chinese. The problem with you and me is that we are basing our numbers on what we observe when we look around Sydney instead of taking our facts from the ABS figures. As mhaze will point out, Darwin made the same mistake when basing his theory of evolution on his observations in the Galapagos Islands instead of using ABS figures. Smart guy that mhaze, he's got it all figured out! I reckon he must be an engineer or someone similar, where they educate people by rote learning instead of critical thinking.

Mhaze again agree with everything you said, but, yes America was leaking
It needed to balance trade, buy more from not just China,buying more than they sell
Not sure introducing anti trade protectionism is the answer
Mr Opinion, face it mate, your bias is blinding you to TRUTH
M haze quoted unchallengeable true figures
You try to fight the truth
Again this morning's news questions will China enter Hong Kong
My question is are the protestors [who I support] pushing a bit too much for their own and Hong Kong's safety?
Trump I still despise the man, yet he has every chance of being re elected
Reasons? too many Democratic candidates, too many working class rednecks in that country, stock market likes him, America has one of the world's most uninformed voters

Dear Belly,

If mhaze is only an engineer which I suspect he is then that tells you where he is coming from.

Dear Belly,

Bias? What bias? All I'm saying is that every second person in Sydney is Chinese and Australia has a Chinese future. So are you saying that I am bias towards Chinese people?

Mr Opinion! surely you understand m haze quoted the OFFICIAL figures
Surely you must think every Asian is Chinese
On what grounds do you challenge his numbers straight from this country's official numbers department
Look do not get the infection, some here have, ignoring the truth to express personal biases
Right now, this day, it is quite possible Chins will move in to Hong Kong
Bank on it they will not stand by forever and watch the protests get bigger
Re-read about that massacre of their own people in that Democracy demonstration
Humanity is not a concern for modern China

"I would accept the ABS statistics BUT are they counting people
who look Chinese or people who have come from China."

They are counting people who report in the census that they were born in China. Other or their statistics count the number of people who report that one or both parents were born in China.

Look, it makes precisely no sense to see an area where there are lots of Chinese type people about and to extrapolate from that as to the nature of a whole city or nation. Fake academics might do that but not anyone whose IQ has a '1' in front of it.

I recently made a nostalgic trip to the Sydney suburb I was raised in. It now has a very large Indian community. The small street I was raised in is now entirely Indian occupied. The milk bar I got my first kiss in is now an Indian produce store. There's Indian take-way where the local butcher was. The local corner store is now a computer shop run by Indians. Now if I was a fake academic, I could conclude that Australia is 50% Indian. But if I went a few suburbs over, I could conclude that we are being over-run by Lebanese. Eastwood now has a large Korean community. Spend a day there and our local fake academic would conclude that 50% of Sydney is Korean.

Its just dumb and defies all logic.

While I'm at it, how do you or the fake academic know that the faces you see are Chinese. How do you distinguish Chinese from Korean, or Taiwanese, or North Vietnamese, or Mongols, or Tibetans, or ..or.. or?
