yeah right, just take a tour thru western sydney and see the wonderful multiculturalism at work. after a while your not sure if your still in oz or in beruit or saigon.

multiculturalism was invented by moonbats like al grasby and gough whitlam who wanted to be social engineers and resape society in their image. unfortunately they brought in all the foreign cultures not compatible with ours resulting in the gettoisation of sydney further compounded by those socialist moonbats' encouagement of foreigners to keep their peculiar cultures instead of integration.

we can see now what happens in europe when too many incompatible foreigners like muslims are allowed in, resulting in social anarchy and ethnic violence.

thanks for that al and gough.
We'll never agree on this one. I never said it works everywhere and all the time. Where it does work, I think it's good. It's a bit like the UN, doesn't always work, but doesn't mean we shouldn't try and make it work.

Its pretty obvious that Jews and Palestinians struggle to get on, ditto Serbs and Croats, Turks and Greeks/Kurds/Armenians etc etc. However the proponents of multiculturalism live in this utopian world where they think that these people will all be one happy family once they get to Australia. These clueless buffoons dont inhabit the real world. You only have go to a soccer game in Melbourne to hear the crowd chanting Croatia (even though most of them were born in Australia) and hear their complete hatred for any Serb players to know that these people arent interested in giving up ancient hatred any time soon.

Oh yes it will get better over time these advocates say. Well how long did the Greeks and Turks in Turkey live for before the Turks slaughtered them on mass, ditto Jews and Muslims living in Spain in the Spanish inquisition, Jews in Germany, Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Xhosa and Zulu in SA etc, etc

Multiculturalism can work in a place like Switzerland where despite the fact that there are a number of distinct identities and languages they all share the same religion (if not demonination) and similar cultures.

In many cases it does get better with time. European immigrants to Australia in the 50's and 60's don't face the same intolerance now. African Americans find life much easier now in the USA than they did in the past. Protestants and Catholics in Australia get on better than they did in the 1800's.

I wouldn't expect that all cultures be all-accepting of every other culture in Australia, just that they tolerate and "let others be."

True but the Greeks and Italians were both European and Christian and had no real reason for conflict with the rest of Australian society. You could hardly count the Italian war effort as a reason to dislike them.

There have been numerous studies to show the level of integration between blacks and whites in the US is extremely low and isnt getting better. Crime and unemployment rates for blacks is still massively disproportionate in the US.

GGGRRRHHH don't get me started about the way Aboriginals are treated here in WA, I am appalled to hear so called normal aussies, calling them coons, boongs, even little children are called that in the streets, it tears my heart out, how the hell are they going to become a part of our society, when they are denigrated so badly. :(

Then people wonder why they don't become a part of our society, maybe because us whites don't want them to.
go for a walk in northbridge around 11pm on a weekend and hear the names they call you then...goes both ways

dont walk alone either or you might end up with no wallet...

I agree, these bloody "foreigners" are John Howard's main support base. :confused:
