Karnal wrote on Apr 11 th, 2016 at 1:31pm: Back in the 90s, it was the Vietnamese. Pauline Hanson focused solely on Asian immigration and Aboriginals. At that stage, the Arab population had not yet reached its tipping point (it wasn't in the tabloids enough). Now, the racists here pretend they've always loved hard-working Asians and are only here to complain about Muslims, or as FD puts it, to criticize Islam.
This, of course, is all a hoax. The tail is wagging the dog. Quote:So, yes, I'd say religion actually has very little to do with this debate, and is only used as an excuse. What really gets up the racists' noses is the belief that people from other races are trying to get one over Whitey. This includes things like dressing in foreign clothes, making complaints about hospital procedures, and having the gall to migrate to a white country in the first place. The racists here are incensed that the tinted races refuse to know their place. Their preferred social order harks back to colonialism, when the tinted races deferred to the white man. If a member of a tinted race complains or doesn't keep his (or her) mouth shut, they're bucking this perceived social order. The racists, you see, have a huge sense of entitlement. They argue that they deserve their place because their ancestors invented things and were successful in business. They argue that they deserve their place because their ancestors were good at subduing populations by force. "We won", they say. "To the victor the spoils". I thought you disagreed with this crap Karnal... Are you a racist, FD? A simple yes or no - and an explanation - will suffice. Nobody is a racist any more. People just recognise cultural differences. Talk of racism shows a mindset stuck in pre-1960s thinking. Just as there is class mobility, there is race mobility. Even the ex head of Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission (ie Race Commissioner), a black man and inventor of the term 'Islamophobia, is waking up to this: For a long time, I too thought that Europe’s Muslims would become like previous waves of migrants, gradually abandoning their ancestral ways, wearing their religious and cultural baggage lightly, and gradually blending into Britain’s diverse identity landscape. I should have known better.http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/Magazine/Features/article1685107.ece?shareTo...Now if you accept the reality that Phillips now does accept – and that mainstream opinion across Europe is coming to accept – would one particular answer not stand out as eminently sensible at this juncture? Such as turning that flow [of immigration] into the merest trickle? If a community is currently causing a lot of challenges and looks like posing them for many generations to come, why on earth would you not slow that 'steady reinforcement'? Other than out of fear that you might be branded an 'Islamophobe'? Douglas Murray.
