it seems to be ok for the luvvies to want to keep foreigners out.

it's xenophobic only if you are working class but patriotic if you are a creative inner city person with hair dyed oxblood red.

Oxblood red? Kabesh! It is more a burnt sienna.

You have your own "Australian value", and I have my own.

Both of us are "Australian" now. Without asking, how can we know what the values for each other?

Which sadly is the growing attitude of a lot of people who come to Australia. But many of these same people would expect the customs and values of their native county to be respected.

Go to any country on earth and you will find a national identity. China is a very different county to Germany, and India is very different from Canada. Does anyone believe that Australia is truly without flavour? That there is nothing Australian about Australia? If everyone who comes here just ignores the culture of this nation and brings their own nations values with them, how long do you reckon this place will last?

Australian culture may be getting diluted quickly, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It also doesn't mean Australians should be happy when new arrivals get here and say "you don't have national values and I will just bring my own". These are probably the same people who will move into a suburb assimilated by their own people; have their native flag on their roof; and talk about how great the culture of their native county is. To sum up their attitude; "respect my culture but bugger yours".

It's 21st century already. China is different from Germany, but do you know how many changes happened in China? More and more western principles, intelligence and other culture elements join the culture of China.

Why Australian culture can not absorb the advantage from the culture of China?

To be honest, what you said in your post is exactly "respect my culture but bugger yours".

Look at yourself please.

No its not. I am an Australian in Australia. If I move to china; refuse to learn the language; disrespect the local customs; stick an Australian flag on the roof and push my own values; then you can accuse me of that.

When I visit other nations, I respect their culture. If I ever lived in another country I would assimilate into their culture. That is not having a "bugger your culture" mentality. A Chinaman (or anyone else) coming to Australia and claiming that we don't have values so they can import their own; that is disrespect. Thinking that they should have their native culture respected in this country, when they don't even acknowledged that we have a culture, that is the ultimate insult.

Many western did what you said in China. Actually, what you said is exactly the missionaries did in china in the past 200 years.

Do you think the missionaries to missionize in China is acceptable?
