How is it racist where you want to have your government money spent onthe people in this country that have contributed to it through the payment of taxes, rather then go to bludgers that come from lebanon and asia that dont speak english and whine when they dont get a welfare cheque. They are of NO USE to the economy. Its not racism, its being good for the economy. Im happy for lebs and asians to come into this country. As long as they MAKE money and SPEND money.Collin said:Hence, the only people who would of voted for these people would be racists. Even if the asssertion that immigration has caused all the deterimental effects labelled out on their handouts had some merit, you would of had to be an idiot of a rather defined degree to have voted for them, due to an obvious lack of defined policies on erm.. anything else.

its hard because its not promoted. we are encouraging multiculturalism. thats why you find it hard. if it was back to assimilation days it would be a lot easier.ur_inner_child said:It's easy to say "if you have a problem with acting australian, go home", but hey. My parents had to learn the language first, then find friends, then try to change their perceptions on living etc.
But they'll want to stick to those of common background because it gives them comfort and its not a massive effort to make a conversation or a friend. Hence particular suburbs might become predominantly more "asian" or "leb" or "italian". It's not like they set it up just to spite everyone. Some people don't purposely make an effort to refuse Australian values, but just have a bit of trouble at it. And then they might get a few brushes of racism, so in turn they might hate Australia for a little while, which I feel is understandable, but will probably get over it as they stay longer. So yeah. My parents have had a few "you're unAustralian, go back to your country" comments.
I don't quite like the whole "go back to your country if you have a problem with being Australian" being so popular. I get the idea of it, if someone is going to be an asshole about Australia while living here, then get the hell out. But in general, for migrants/immigrants to "act Australian", it's hard in the first place.
My parents did.kokodamonkey said:its hard because its not promoted. we are encouraging multiculturalism. thats why you find it hard. if it was back to assimilation days it would be a lot easier.
i apologise for my wording, i didnt mean to single YOU out! My dad came From Switzerland. My mum was born here in Australia. So Was I. But my Dad Assimilates. And has been Successful because of that. I just believe we need to stop encouraging Multiculturalism and start enforcing Assimilation. We need to have better immigration requirement standards.. Like the requirements to become an aussie or to get into this country are a joke.. Compare it to say Switzerland for example! do you know how hard it is to become a swiss citizen? thats why i cherish mine!ur_inner_child said:My parents did.
Not I, I'm Australian. I was born here, please note that. I don't have any trouble with Australian values.
Yes you can practice your fancy religion, build a church for it. Yes go and have Chinese New Year or Passover. Go and set up a shop with all your fancy stuff from your country. But if you're going to survive, you're probably going to have to learn the language until it is second nature, obey the laws and tolerate the bikini's on the beach and other things we do.
My parents and those I know that came to this country found it pretty straight forward.
It doesn't need to be advertised, I don't think. It might need to be reinforced a little because of all of that Muslim extremism hype, but that only seems to happen when we tolerate the intolerant.
To be honest, I'm quite mixed. Multiculturalism may not work in it's entirety, but I don't agree with total assimilation either.
Fallacy. Just because you were doesn't mean anything.kokodamonkey said:i apologise for my wording, i didnt mean to single YOU out! My dad came From Switzerland. My mum was born here in Australia. So Was I.
Oh, well that's good then.....kokodamonkey said:But my Dad Assimilates.
Are you serious?kokodamonkey said:And has been Successful because of that. I just believe we need to stop encouraging Multiculturalism and start enforcing Assimilation.
You position yourself as the native. You dont have the power to say what the requirements are to become an aussie. If anyone does, it should be the real Australians. And then they might very well say that you don't belong.kokodamonkey said:We need to have better immigration requirement standards.. Like the requirements to become an aussie or to get into this country are a joke..
I wouldn't want to be Swiss.kokodamonkey said:Compare it to say Switzerland for example! do you know how hard it is to become a swiss citizen? thats why i cherish mine!
Assimilate into what?kokodamonkey said:Why dont you agree with total assimiation?
Fallacy.kokodamonkey said:imagine if you or i went to an Arab Country or an Asian Country. We have to adapt to their customs and lifestyle in order to survive.
Positioning yourself as native. You speak like you are empowered to say this. It's power that you manifestily do not have (thank god).kokodamonkey said:and so we should because its THEIR country and we are trying to become APART of that.
Don't worry about whether you have any trouble with 'Australian values', what ever they are.ur_inner_child said:Not I, I'm Australian. I was born here, please note that. I don't have any trouble with Australian values.
Nah, Australia First is the dumbest, mate.S1M0 said:australians against further immigration.......
Pfft, dumbest political party bar none.
What the hell does ALP have to do with racism? A lot of ALP MPs come from very multicultural electorates. I mean multicultural as in:kokodamonkey said:true their policies are only good for the immigration related ones but the rest are preety screwed. but you cant blame them for being racist. YOu have to blame the ALP. in particular Gough Whitlam. for Introducing Multiculturalism. If we are goin to fix racist issues in this country, we have to 1. Get Rid Of Multiculturism. 2. Get rid of the ALP.
#1 is definite #2 is optional and highly recommend.
If you want to be an Australian, good English reading and writing skills are necessary.Hear me out b4 you shoot boo racist go join the kkk kokodamonkey. Multiculturalism separates and divides us. We need to go Back to Assimilation. You come to Australia? You act australian. got a problem? go home to your own country. At the end of the Day we are all HUMAN so therefore need to act the same. None of this multicultural crap which leads to Asian Towns and Leb Towns and then we have fighting breaking out.
I'm confused. How do I act australian? Should I be handing back my aussie passport?kokodamonkey said:Hear me out b4 you shoot boo racist go join the kkk kokodamonkey.
