Below is an article that describes the "changing face" of Australia. It openly states that Australia is being dramatically transformed into that of Asian lineage. What however is hard to understand, is how the redefining, recolonization and transformation of a supposedly sovereign nation, with its own established identity and heritage, can go essentially unchallenged.

Is it political correctness and anti-white guilt-inducing propaganda that has successfully silenced and politically disarmed conservative opposition, even to the scale of allowing demographic and cultural replacement on a nation level?

SYDNEY—A resources boom and growing immigration from Asia are reshaping Australia's population.

Mandarin overtook Italian as the second most popular language spoken at home, after English, figures from the 2011 census published Thursday showed.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that the resource-rich regions of Western Australia and Queensland both recorded double-digit population growth over the past five years, more than double that of Australia's most populous state, New South Wales, and sharply outstripping the national average of 8.3%.

Asians accounted for the biggest jump in immigration to Australia in terms of ethnicity, with Indian and Chinese the fastest-growing groups. The census showed that around one in four of the 21.5 million people surveyed in the census last year was born outside Australia, compared with 22% a decade ago. Of those, a third was born in Asia, a sharp increase from 24% in 2006.

Meanwhile, the proportion of European migrants has fallen from more than half of arrivals a decade ago to 40% last year. The U.K. remains the leading country of origin for Australia's overseas-born population at 21%, including more than a quarter of long-standing migrants.

"We're in the midst of a huge mining boom and we have many young people come here to study to go to university," said Andrew Henderson, executive director of the ABS. "These [factors] are giving us a lot more exposure in Asia."

Australia's population is becoming more Asian in origin at a time when its economy has grown dependent on countries like China. But the country, which maintains strict immigration regulations, still struggles to attract enough workers for its mining industry, although states rich in resources showed the fastest rates of population growth in the census.

At a local level, nine of the 10 largest population increases in local government areas were in Western Australia, the country's mining heartland, the data showed. The largest increase was in the area of East Pilbara, where mining giants Rio Tinto RIO.AU -0.96% PLC, BHP Billiton Ltd. BHP -0.29% and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. are investing billions of dollars to build up iron ore mining operations. The population there jumped 83% between 2006 and 2011 to 11,950 people, the census shows.

"These regional populations traditionally would have been associated with population decrease, and the mining boom has completely changed that," said Mr. Henderson.

The shift in population to Western Australia is likely even greater than numbers show, as the statistics don't include the controversial fly-in, fly-out workers—employees who are brought in for brief periods rather than permanently relocated by mining companies to build and operate their mines in isolated areas.

"The population and service implications of resource and mineral activities is really quite profound but this hasn't really been reflected in the census data," said Mr. Henderson. "Building a mine can require between four to five times as many people as operating it."

Exploding population growth in some areas has also put growing pressure on housing, driving a sharp rise in rents relative to average incomes. The overall national median weekly income rose 24% to 577 Australian dollars (US$586) in 2011, up from A$466 in 2006, while the median household weekly rent rose by almost half to A$285 from A$191, the data showed. In Western Australia the trend was even more pronounced: weekly rent in the state surged by more than three-quarters to A$300 a week—A$320 in its capital, Perth—while weekly incomes in the state rose around a third to A$662.

The largest decreases in migrant populations were among Greeks and Italians, which fell by 33,300 and 16,500 respectively, as low migration levels failed to replenish existing communities, many of whom originally arrived following the devastation wreaked across Europe in World War II.

Mr. Henderson said the changes reflect Australia's growing economic status in Asia and the long-term effects of its education ties in the region.

"After World War II, a lot of people from Europe came here in search of a better life," he said. "Now Australia is attracting workers from countries where there might not be as many opportunities."

Are there any important differences between Asians and Europeans?

If not - why call them Asians and Europeans?

If yes - why pretend they do not matter?

Asian societies are evidently different from European ones. Are you going to pretend to be blind and deaf and stupid just to be PC??

Thank you for declaring utter cluelessness. If you had any ideas to counter mine, you would have offered them. But you are devoid, as always. You are a clueless moron. Offering empty puffery is all you can dredge up from the shallows of what passes for your mind.

It is glaringly obvious to all that you have not offered anything remotely resembling an actual point, bozo. You are not even shallow. Mentally, you are utterly negligible.


You don't even comprehend what I mean by asking you to make a coherent point to counter mine.

Yet for the last several months in the other thread you have been insisting that we are all the same. Now you highlight the differences when is suits you. You are useless.

Any anthropologist will tell you that there is greater genetic diversity within racial groups than there is between them. So your argument is moot.

"argument"   ?

Soren has irrational bigotry and racism, fueled by ignorance and misinformation.

To suggest he has anything close to an argument is extremely generous.
