I think the problem is that multiculturalism supporters and anti-racists like yourself are way, way, WAY too optimistic about human nature.
On the other hand opponents to it like myself are rather pessimistic of human nature and realise humans aren't perfect and are usually self-serving.
That's the main difference in our core way of thinking, Helian. Opinions of human nature.
Not all immigrant groups will see it your way Helian, and I believe multiculturalism supporters are completely nieve in thinking that every group WILL convert to the Australian way of life. It is possible for every person, of course, but does that necessarily mean they will do so willingly after a few generations? Plenty of examples show otherwise. You only need to look as far as the Balkans to see how badly this can end.
I liken multiculturalism supporters to dodo's. They're forever optimistic and approach humans with no fears of them being harmful. Dodo's of course were the cause of their own extinction.
“The situation is hopeless…”
Twenty something and pessimistic… Remember to save some for your old age.
Not all will make it across that river, that’s true… life is difficult and some are destined fail in all things… but I believe most will make it to the other side. The great divide is made of things like accent, personal experience from birth, a sense for the first generation born here of not being so foreign and a deep instinctive need for identification with peers over approval from parents. These too are part of human nature.
Australia has a young culture and like all young things has a great capacity to adapt in a way that ancient cultures have not. European peoples make a point of preserving even ancient enmities among each other. Africans, Indians and Asians at home no doubt do the same.
“The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step”.
Just because I'm pessimistic about human nature doesn't mean I'm altogether pessimistic about other things.
For example, I don't buy into all this, 'multiculturalism is inevitable' crap that multiculturalism supporters/anti-racists like to throw around. I'm quite optimistic that Australians have the potential to turn it around.
Quote:The pessimist need not learn to be optimistic… but he must learn to be brave.
I think it takes more courage to oppose multiculturalism these days, Helian. It's one thing to be brave for being optimistic, it's a totally different thing when having the guts to point out that those in authority are wrong.
Look at what happens to people like James Watson and Pauline Hanson. They have their lives delibrately ruined by the unruly multiculturalism/anti-racist mobs.
