It saddens me that anyone cares.

It doesn't sadden me.  Is there some cause to be sad?

I would have thought that it was a bit less than 92%.  How exactly did the people who arrived at this figure (is it the Australian Bureau of Sadistics?) define "white" which, after all is just a skin colour?  It would be interesting to know which ethnic groups are considered to be "white".

92% are pig skin coloured.

Not White

Not racists unless you find colour offensive.

Go to Cabramatta, Fairfield, Yagoona, Bankstown Burwood, Lakemba, Hurstville, Liverpool and you have to spot an Aussie. . .

The same goes in the trains. I've sat in carriages where I was the only Caucasian ears deafened by foreign languages.

The Brits and Irish are a Mediterranean people, but a minority migrated from Northern & Eastern Europe thats quite a diversity of cultures to just put under one banner of "White".  "White" also tells you nothing about a people, culture, tradition, language ancestors ect where as terms such as Britannia, Welsh (Cymru), Irish, Scots, Caledonia Logere, England, Devon, Cornwall are all words that tell stories that a word like "White" may wish to hide...

Italians and Greeks were not considered white when they came here in the post war mass migration.
In fact right wing ultra conservative groups called them the black people of Europe and claimed they would ruin the country so I hope matty isn't including them and their descendants in the 92%.

Maybe those that migrated there before the Celts in 5,000 BC were Mediterranean (can you supply evidence of this?), but the majority of migrants aren't. The Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes come from what is now Denmark and the northern parts of Germany. Even the other invaders weren't Mediterranean: Vikings, Celts, and Normans (French).   
The British, mostly, are a Germanic people.

Insight tonight SBS 7.30


This week Insight explores racism from a different perspective.

Discussions about prejudice are often framed in terms of whites against non-whites. In a candid and frank debate, Insight lifts a lid on racism between different minority groups in Australia and prejudices people have against their own race - a topic rarely covered in the media.

The program also looks at the psychology of racism – whether humans are all biologically hard-wired to feel threatened by people who look different to them, and are genetically predisposed to want to stick to our own “tribe.”

Australia is due to launch its first ever National Anti-Racism Strategy this year. Insight will ask whether it's the right approach, and whether it has any chance of transcending the impulses that some experts believe we're all born with.

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was developed by Harvard researchers to measure subconscious prejudice.

Find out how you subconsciously feel by taking the test here.

Members of the Insight audience took the test. Of those who completed it, almost 80% had a negative association with indigenous Australians.

Yeah! and since when has national identity got to do with skin colour? If people are proud of their country, it shouldn't matter what the colour of their skin is. Should it?

Australia was once inhabited by blacks, so if skin colour identifies us as Australians, it would have to be black skin.

The usual cracker-hating from self-loathing crackers.  Nothing new here.

Thanks for creating a world for my children where their blond hair and blue eyes will be a liability, due to the hatred you foment against your own people. 

Thanks a dam lot, assholes.  But just remember this:  You can't hide form your white skin.  You won't be known as a 'good' honky for selling out.  Nobody values a traitor. >:(

But you stated before you agreed with the status quo, now you're arguing that you go with the flow. Which is it?

Additionally, if you "go with the flow," then there should be no reason to disagree with a "flow" toward 99% whites.

Really?  You want a link to an example of white leftists demonising whites?  Look on any thread here where you, political puppet, pansi, any of you leftist drips - whereer you post there is contempt for the white man.  I really can't believe you're playing dumb on that score.

Everyone who comes to Australia and chooses to settle and live here has to hate their own people. POMs (prisoners of the mother country) aren't welcome. It doesn't matter what your ancestry is -- whether you're British, Italian, Greek, Middle-Eastern, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or Korean. We must all become cosmopolitan and hate our origins.

You seem to have overlooked one of my first posts in this thread:

"I'm not calling for change.  I'm perfectly happy with the status quo."

Thus, I'm not actively pursuing:

* "fragmenting formerly homogeneous, cohesive, united societies", or;

* "turning your back on what the rest of the world do, and have always done".


I thought we'd already gone over this ...

I'm perfectly happy with things they way they are, however, I would not be worried in the slightest if the percentage was to change (higher or lower). 

I remember saying "I go with the flow".

You then commented on a "jellyfish" and some other "spineless creatures".

but the staus quo in australia is the exact opposite of the global status quo.
By supporting the (australian) status quo, you are supporting the fragmentation of a previously cohesive, unified, homogeneous society.  You are turning your back on the way things are and have always been (globally) for a poorly (or not at all) thought out, flash in the pan ideology.

Sorry, no problems for me ... personally.

For the country? ... sure, there have been problems.
However, nothing worse than anywhere else in the world.

For those that are against multiculturalism I hope they refuse the services of their Indian or Chinese heart specialist when they have a heart attack and are being wheeled in for emergency surgery.
Or refuse the services of their Malaysia or Singapore born Oncologist. All this racism sure falls apart when the non Caucasian is saving yours or a loved ones life.

A nonsensical argument, because as I already explained the mere presence of foreigners does not make a multicultural society.  Would you say that...Somalia is "multicultural" because medecins sans fronteires have some european doctors working there?

One of the things people are afraid of here is that people might still feel a sense of loyalty to their country of origin. Do you think that's a good thing? I don't think it's a particularly good thing. That's one of the reasons why a lot of people are opposed to multiculturalism and too-much immigration. It's because it might include loyalty to a foreign country.

For example, a common question asked of anyone who doesn't have white skin or who has black hair is, "What country do you come from?" If you've got British, European or Russian ancestry you probably wouldn't be asked that question. It's a legitimate question and I wouldn't say it's nobody's business, but it seems like your country of origin tends to be important to people. If they have any reason to be afraid of you, your country of origin would be one of the first things they ask. The second question would then be, do you still love your country of origin?

If we can all agree to denounce and renounce our origins, people of different backgrounds might be seen as less of a threat. That way, people have less of a reason to say, "get on a boat and go back to your own country." :D :D

To put the boot on the other foot, if you moved to another country, how would you react if someone said you had to denounce and hate Australia before you would be made welcome in your new country?

For me, it would be pretty simple. If I couldn't be loyal to that country, couldn't let go of my origins and if the people there didn't accept me, I wouldn't live there.

I think that is a question for you too. You may have overlooked the fact that many countries make it really hard for you to "become one of their own." Just try to become Chinese, Japanese or Korean. I don't think they'll ever completely accept you even if you learnt their language, table manners, ways of greeting people and ate their food. You may be allowed to live in Japan, China or Korea legally, but they'd never think of you as one of them. How many Westerners have become Chinese, Japanese or Korean? I assume it's a very tiny number. Maybe zero. Consider yourself lucky that being Australian isn't a matter of roots or ancestry, but law.

In a lot of countries and cultures it is expected that you will give up your roots and become completely immersed in the other to prove you are one of them. It isn't a surprise to a lot of people.

It's something we would all willingly do just to co-exist. I think there are plenty who become biased against their own ancestral origins just to fit in -- whether it's whites, Asians or Middle-Easterners. This is what the white nationalists are complaining about. They think the white people who support more immigration are self-hating whites, but there are plenty of Asians who "hate" their ancestral origins enough to try to fit in with their "white" friends. Naturally, you have to "hate" your own kind enough to eliminate racism. We're all making sacrifices and compromises to accommodate the other. This isn't a one-way street.

If Australia was ever threatened by an invasion force, I think a lot of people would suddenly get paranoid. A lot of hidden racism would suddenly surface.

I don't see any reason why someone cannot be loyal to two countries (other than if those two countries were at war with eachother).  I would expect though that more loyalty would need to be shown to the person's adopted country than to their country of origin.

I used to know someone (an Australian) who spoke fluent Japanese, married a Japanese girl, and settled in Japan.  I have lost touch with him now, but the last time I spoke to him he said that he was doing quite nicely over there (he was teaching English somewhere or other) and was accepted by the locals, but treated to an extent as an outsider.  There would be quite a few countries where "incomers" would not be fully accepted, and not all of those countries are Asian.

Australia is not like that though, although there are a significant number of intolerant people here.  I was once walking through The Rocks and an elderly woman leaning against a fence singled me out, started into a tirade about foreigners and shouted at me to go back where I came from.  If I felt like an argument, I would have told her that I was Australian and therefore I was already where I came from, but it didn't seem worth it, so I just walked off.  Sometimes I think back to that day and wonder where she actually thought I came from....

I can't agree that you have to "hate" your own kind to eliminate racism.  Surely if "hate" is involved, the object of the hate would be certain entrenched attitudes rather than "your own kind".

This would, I think, only be an issue if hostilities broke out between the two countries in question.  Obviously, in those circumstances, a choice would have to be made.  It would be a painful decision to make, but it would have to be made.

If the two countries are allies, you can get dual citizenship. No problem there. Former Cold War adversaries or "rogue states," however, would be a different story. People might be suspicious of immigrants from those countries -- hence the need to maybe distance yourself from those regimes. If you start talking about how you "love" those countries and react badly when people start criticising them, you might get yourself into a "faux pas." Then people would think you support those regimes, and that isn't a good situation. You survive, but it's embarrassing.

Australia is not like that though, although there are a significant number of intolerant people here.  I was once walking through The Rocks and an elderly woman leaning against a fence singled me out, started into a tirade about foreigners and shouted at me to go back where I came from.  If I felt like an argument, I would have told her that I was Australian and therefore I was already where I came from, but it didn't seem worth it, so I just walked off.  Sometimes I think back to that day and wonder where she actually thought I came from....

When I was a kid, people said it was rude to speak a language other than English in public. Even a few years back (as an adult) when I was returning home from university, it was still considered rude. A bunch of Chinese guys were speaking Mandarin to each other and a Caucasian girl was listening to them. When she got off at one of the stops, she was really angry that they were speaking Mandarin in public. She hit the bus really hard and yelled something about how disgusted she was that they were not speaking English. That girl felt threatened by two or three guys speaking Mandarin.

I can't agree that you have to "hate" your own kind to eliminate racism.  Surely if "hate" is involved, the object of the hate would be certain entrenched attitudes rather than "your own kind".

I would agree that "peer pressure" isn't a particularly healthy thing, but then again, we all have to endure a little bit of pain to belong to a community. It's been like that since the beginning of human civilisation. I know -- it's oppressive, but it's just how society works. Every society and culture does that. You have to conform. If you're only allowed to speak English in public, that can be pretty harsh. When you're a kid and you want friends, it's a small world and it's a big deal. When you're an adult, got a job and you're independent, it's not so bad. You can always escape and get away from those "bad people." Most people out there are more tolerant and flexible anyway. Even if people don't like you, they don't have the power to make your life difficult. If they do, you can just go to a court and get a restraining order.

If the two countries are allies, you can get dual citizenship. No problem there. Former Cold War adversaries or "rogue states," however, would be a different story. People might be suspicious of immigrants from those countries -- hence the need to maybe distance yourself from those regimes. If you start talking about how you "love" those countries and react badly when people start criticising them, you might get yourself into a "faux pas." Then people would think you support those regimes, and that isn't a good situation. You survive, but it's embarrassing.

Yes, I actually have both an Australian and a UK passport, but that's a combination that wouldn't raise any eyebrows.  As for the Cold war, do you think anyone would bother about that now?  In any case, if you say you love the country, it's not the same as saying you love the regime.  If you ask my father-in-law what he thinks of Italy, he'll go on about how wonderful the place is, and then finish off by saying that he wouldn't want to live their because the government is useless...

I can't understand why people object to someone else speaking another language.  It would be different if it was wartime, but it isn't.  I don't have a problem with people speaking another language - after all does it really matter that you can't listen in to their conversation?

'Twas an evening in November as I very well remember.
I was strolling down the street in drunken proid.
When me knees went all a-flutter and I landed in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by moi side.
Welll.. I wuz laying in the gutter tinking torts I could not utter
When a colleen passing by did softly say...
You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses.
And at that the pig got up and walked away. ;D

92% white? Really?

Read the thread on this website "A Rapidly Declining White Australian Percentage"
I think you will be quite surprised to know the current demographic percentage of Australia.
The thread actually has a breakdown of the racial demographics of Australia, rather then the ambiguous CIA statistics of "92% white 8% other" I know for a fact they do it on purpose to obscure whats happening in western nations.
