Well still find the word, its meaning, some it includes, in my view unwelcome
Look at America, forget Trump racist bigotry, they never needed the word Multiculturalism
But are , like us, made up from just about every race in the world
Some do not ever intend to in any way integrate, why then are they here

Joe,
I dont know if other countries practice multiculturism or not but I know we do not. I will continue to use the word multiracial as i think it best describes us.

Multiculturalism was a term that Al Grassby borrowed from Canada and was supposed to blend diverse people into one nation, but it failed miserably. Remember the slogan 'Unity in Diversity', what rot, even two different types of muslims cannot get along, the whole thing is a pipe dream.

No we had better go with integration and select those immigrants and refugees that we know integrate best. We do not have to accept anyone that turns up. Making some of the diverse fit is like putting square pegs in round holes. For example I am sure muslims would be far happier in muslim countries. The African youth in Melbourne have shown they are far from happy being here.

try minding your own business Individual.
runner,
Cheers for proving me right re your mentality !

Henry,

It's possible that integration is working far better than many on this thread think. Many Muslim women wear 'ordinary' clothes, so are comparatively invisible, and many who wear hijabs and/or long skirts are happy to be here, it's simply what they're used to wearing; perhaps even some of the women wearing nikabs are too, it's just that their husbands don't want them to be getting out dressed, as they see it, immodestly.

And of course, the Latin Americans and central Asians and Polynesians are getting along quite well here, it seems. Of course, many refugees would rather be back in their home countries if only they were safe to return to, that's what makes them refugees: they've had to uproot themselves to flee, and to learn a new language when they get here.

Storm in a tea-cup really.

Joe

Fair cop Loudmouth you are right most do integrate
That was always the intention
My dad, a man of his time, was racist towards refugees, [very long time ago]
Overheard a conversation with a sitting ALP member, quote , they are the breeders in time their kids will be like us
I never forgot and as a kid age up working in Sydney many migrants took me under their wings
Italian family nearly made me one of them
However not every Muslim would, or will ever integrate, faith nothing else, divides us needlessly

Wait and see, Belly :)
