Dear Saltpetre,

Sigh.

You really are an amazing man.

Saltpetre,

Send the Chinese back home and I'll do what you say.

Misop,

Oy. If you mean all people with Chinese ancestry in Australia, can you understand how completely racist that prejudice is ?

No, of course you can't.

That they should all be sent to China ? Are you aware that a very high proportion of those who you see on the street and think are Chinese, aren't Chinese ? They may be Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino/Filipina, Burmese, Taiwanese, Korean, Indonesian ?

No, of course you're not.

Has it occurred to you that many of those who you characterise as 'Chinese' are Australian-born, with perhaps longer ancestry here than you have ?

No, of course it hasn't.

Has it occurred to you that many Chinese, those from China, are secretly (necessarily and understandably secretly) hostile to the Chinese regime, more than you could ever be ?

No, of course it hasn't.

Poor simple child. And that's being very charitable.

Joe

FOULmouth,

What part of "Send the Chinese back home ................ " don't you understand?

You are so fixated on keeping your Chinese spy mates in the country you cannot comprehend a simple sentence.

Misop,

Pot - kettle.

We used to have standardised assimilationist views
of what it meant to be "Australian". Today that's
contested with the acceptance of diversity and choice
over all aspects of lifestyle, culture, and religion.
Multiculturalism as an official government policy has
led to the imagining of a multiplicity of identities
in Australia.
