And why is that:

* racist?
* bigot?
* xenophobe?
* Pauline Hanson fan?
* Bolt Report viewer?
* troll
* all of the above?

Or, is there just no rational reason?



Probably the same reason why japan is overwhelmingly japanese. 
Or why Tonga is overwhelmingly Tongan. 
Or why Nigeria is overwhelmingly Nigerian. 
Or why (repeat for all non-white countries in the world)


yes, preferring a cohesive society comprised of similar people is so totally irrational hey?  So irrational it's only practised in 90+ % of the world.   Roll Eyes


"Probably"?  Not much of a commitment there, really.

Still waiting to hear the rational reason.

Got anything at all?  Anything rational?




You first - what's the "rational" reason for fragmenting formerly homogeneous, cohesive, united societies?

What's the "rational" reason for turning your back on what the rest of the world do, and have always done?



Well?


waiting....

That's an interesting statement, to say the least.

What's the reasoning behind your claim?

Back in your box, Shonky: I asked first.

When you start acting like an adult, I'll respond to your posts.
However, keep up with this 12 year old child nonsense, and I'll continue treating you as one.

There's a good boy.

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. 

What leads you to believe our way is the 'right way" when all odds are stacked aganst it?

Thus far, no problems.

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?

What's the reasoning behind your claim?


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." Cheesy Cheesy
