Runner/Individual apart from highlighting your bigotry and lack of understanding the thread is dead
Tried, truly did, even wanted to ask this
* Do the countrys, all of them, our multicultural migrants come from practice multiculturalism?*
Are Islamic countrys on board with it?
Would we be able to open a pork bar b q shop next to our Christian Church in say Iran? Pakistan? Iraq, Saudi Arabia?
Someone must think one world one people is worth a lot of pain on the way, including loss of culture and nationality
In truth it would be, even with the pain, but only if we could leave all the never existed God Myths behind

Indi,
I have the same problem with belly,s posts,some are too jumbled to even try to follow.

I disagree with most on this thread as I dont believe we are multicultural. We are multiracial but not multicultural as all our laws, governance, education and military is derived from the Westminster system with a few adaptions.

You will note that all the foreign cultural practices that are acceptable to us are already part of our culture. There are a few exceptions and we turn a blind eye to a few, like FGM, polygamy and underage marriage. But nothing of any significance and we certainly do not make specific laws to suit certain groups.

We expect all to obey our laws and society standards. Problems arise when some groups desire to set their own standards based on their old countries ways.

Hi Henry,

Perhaps a slightly more vague and appropriate word would be 'multi-origin-group' - as time passes, Australia has taken in groups for more and more varied origins, nd as far as I can see, quite successfully. Of course, some people from some groups have more problems adapting - or integrating, if you like - to Australian laws, customs, language and ethos.

That's how it's always been - my Irish ancestors certainly had some trouble adapting to English dominance here (on top of overbearing dominance back home). In fact, in each colony, the first mature generations of local-born people also jibed as pommy-born toffs with their born-to-rule arrogance, forming the Australian Natives' Association in 1871 for example.

So it was in all overseas colonies: in South America, local-born people called themselves 'creoles': whites born in the soil of the colony, even aristocrats like San Martin (whose family crest was pale blue and white, (hence the Argentinian and Uruguayan flags). Once those native-born took power early in the nineteenth century, the epithet 'creole' was taken over by the next group down the totem pole: the mixed-race local-born people.

But let's stick to the fuzzy word, 'multiculturalism'. Of course it takes time to adapt, learn the language, get to understand the country and the people here already. But as far as I can see, the great majority do so. They inter-marry, usually in the second generation (so look out for your daughters and granddaughters, you alt-rightists). They tend, in the second generation, to enrol at universities at higher rates than natives. They take your jobs, as is their right if they are better qualified. They are not, and never will be, automatically your subordinates or servants.

That's how it's always going to be in Australia, and always has been. Alt-rightists need to get used to it.

Joe

'put your money where your mouth is & tell us how much you donate to the starving !'

try minding your own business Individual. Why on earth would I tell someone who is Christophobic and has a habit of closed minded bigotry.
