A White Australia is what I really wantdieburndie said:Crime levels have conisstently rose since africans have been allowed to immigrate to australia.
Is gangs and more drugs what we really want?
Amen. For the most part, people are scared of what they don't know. We saw this with the influx of Greeks/Italians and Asians, and now we're seeing this with Africans. The history of racial discrimination that African people in general have received doesn't help, and the manner in which this (thankfully) outgoing minister expressed the opinion that these people were failing to "integrate" was definitely constructed on a basis of isolated cases. However, this is largely incidental to the "white" conservative inhibitions that can be found in (unfortunately) quite a number of Australians, and it is this fear of the unknown that tends to lead people to thread-bare conclusions which will warp their views.Ademir said:And I wouldn't trust the media in reporting any of this "ETHNIK GANGZ" bullshit anyway.
3 of my mates were on the news for supposedly being part of an ethnic gang, just because they are all non-white. They were walking down the street just talking to each other - apparently this constitutes gang behaviour now.
What are we going to do? Film groups of non-Anglo people and then call that a gang? Seriously. In my community everyone gets along fine. Immigrant or born here, anglo-Australian or Muslim, white or black. No one gives a damn.
Multiculturalism works. It only fails when right-wing conservatives start using isolated incidents as ammunition to scapegoat an entire group.

So we have to be neutral about everything because otherwise people might have different opinions to us?Optophobia said:PS: it is not for anyone to say whether immigration is a good thing or a bad thing. To say either way would be to construct a fantasy that you have the power to deem it either way - it's power that you do not have. Either way it's futile, because to say it's good or bad, you must lend yourself to a national fantasy.. A fantasy which failes to take into account that there are 20 million different views on what is good or bad about immigration.
I'm quite sure this here makes absolutely no sense.Optophobia said:PS: it is not for anyone to say whether immigration is a good thing or a bad thing.

A fantasy which failes to take into account that there are 20 million different views on what is good or bad about immigration. Such political fantasizing is fruitless and only makes you amenable to political/societal manipulation - my above example being a prime example. There were people who thought the detention of refugees to be good, and there were people who thought it was bad. Both were playing into the hands of John Howard in engaging in the debate in the first place, because he never actually gave either party what it is that they were actually looking for- "oh i'm going to vote for John Howard, because even though he's been in power for 11 years, he's still on the verge of giving me what it is i want".
Please tell me you aren't seriously responding to that post.politik said:If the choice is between you and an African of better cognitive ability, pack your bags now.
Side note: AIDS epidemic. Anybody else read that rant from some Catholic minister in some African country saying Europe is infecting condoms with AIDS in an attempt to further wipe out the African population?
