What's appropriate? For the beach, footy,
Foxy,
Saw a white Australian tourist sheilah prancing around our Supermarket last Thursday, dressed only in a bikini. Even though she had the body to complement the bikini, I still found it offensive & utterly uncultured. You should have seen the looks she got from the indigenous locals, not even the young blokes were impressed !

Belly,
You are right integration is a far better way to aim for. Migrants should be trying to adopt our ways, instead we told them we would adapt to their cultures. It was a lie as almost all the foundations of our society are based on the British model, government, military, law, education and social. Despite 50 years of forced multiculturalism it remains the same. We are multiracial because of immigration but we are far from multicultural. The only cultural practices we accept are those that fit our own model. Although we turn a blind eye to some activities, such as polygamy and under age marriage. Is having a few ethnic eating places make us MC. I do not think so.

We should be proud of the social standards that we inherited from our forebears and promote them. Strongly enforce our laws. Those immigrants that have no respect and say they will change our society to the horrid places they came from can either comply or go elsewhere.

And we should be far more selective in who we allow in.

'Integrate' into 'our' ways, part 2.

The point I was trying to make is that the second we say 'our' then we're racist white nationalists trying to impose a white Australia policy.
You all know you the left carries on.
We're acting tribal and trying to impose 'our' culture.

There is no such thing as 'our' culture under political correctness and multiculturalism.
'Our' - doesn't exist anymore.

Racism is an extention of tribalism which is an extention of culture.
The second we say 'our', then we're acting tribal defending 'our' culture.

Racism really has 2 sides to it.
One is a friendly sort of 'hazing';
'tribalism' and 'admittance to our culture';
Think of this as 'focused on defending our Australian culture'.

Part of that culture is taking the mickey out of others in a kind of friendly antagonising kind of a way.

The other side is actually being racist.
Simply hating others because they're different to us.
And hating them because they're here.
Think of this as 'focussed on hating others simply because they're not the same or because they're here'.

You might all be interested to know that despite my opposition to immigrants and multiculturalism, I don't ever treat foreigners disrespectfully, I treat them the same as anyone else.

I'm against the policy, not the individual.

Armchair Critic,
I agree with what you say but will there be sufficient Australians left to grasp the enormity of the situation ?

Individual a truth, the children, in some cases the great grand children, of refugees/migrants will be [mostly] like us
It is those who will never be that concerns me
Know Europe is turning away from open door such as Germany wanted
And nothing, can ever, turn that around
Why? well enclavism, separatism, even making demands the we, the hosts, change not them, for a start
Some powerful group, lard heads at best, think forcing multiculturalism on us, not integration, was worth doing

Dear Mr Opinion,

From my own family's experience we have integrated
very well. As a matter of fact my brothers have
inter-married. One a girl from Sweden, the other
an English lass of Scottish heritage and they live
in semi-rural areas and fit into their local
communities.

My two sons have married - one of Russian and the
other one of German ancestry. And we get on with all
these relatives. My nephew has married a girl from
Vietnam and my nieces have married Anglo-Aussies.

So there you are. Would you call that tribal?
And our close family friends include Lebanese,
Sri-Lankans, Chinese, Iranians, and Europeans,
and Anglo-Aussies.

I guess we must be living in a different world?
We don't differentiate their backgrounds - we take
people as they are - and if we like them and they like
us - we accept each other.
