On my last visit to my doctor he told me he had made a rare visit to Sydney's Central Railway Station area and was totally shocked by how the whole place has been taken over by Asians.

If he had moved further away from Central Station he would have seen that the streets are packed with Asians in every direction.

And ... ?

It's a racial ghetto ...

If the streets are packed with caucasians, is that a "racial ghetto"?

Errr, they don't. As for Wiki, I rarely question it as a source, Beowulf. Only when it is demonstrably wrong. In this case it is not.

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Try to stay focused, Honky.

You've already made a complete fool of yourself by not answering simple questions.

Continuing to answer questions with (unrelated) questions is just making you look like an absolute tool.

But then again, if the shoe fits ...

No.

That's called someone's generational 'homeland'.

You see, Greg, everyone is racist except the Moral Pretenders like yourself. Those Chinese who are by far the predominate racial type within a mile radius of Sydney's Central Station are glad they've recreated the streetscapes of where they came from in China.

They wouldn't want it any other way ~ not even to avoid your disapproval for being racist ~ (not that you would disapprove of their racism, of course, them being other than Caucasian. True to the stereotype, it's only Caucasians ~ and especially Anglo Caucasians ~ who qualify for your disapproval, such is the hypocritical moral neurosis that people like you suffer from).

"Terriers" encompass many different breeds, just as "asians" encompasses many recognisable populations (aka races aka breeds)

How many races are there?

A specific number, please.

About 5.
But you can further categorise/classify.

These are the races;
1) Mongoloid (Asian and American Indian)
2) Caucasoid (European)
3) Australoid (Australian and oceanic)
4) Negroid (east African black)
5) Capoid (south African black)

Then you have the many peoples that are mixed between the races. Like Afghan's with blue eyes. Indians are a mix between peoples from Asia/Europe/Africa.

... and ... (to continue the original story before I was so rudely interrupted) ~ my doctor chucked a hissy-fit when he and his wife returned from an overseas holiday and were queueing up at the airport to claim their luggage, and saw that the supervising staff member was a woman in a hijab.

Apparently he turned to one of the security staff and asked if he'd arrived in Australia or at a Middle Eastern destination.

I'm just trying to help - You'll learn more if you can figure it out for yourself.

IF "terrier" is a breed, then you wouldn't be able to see any distinctions between:

and:

Can you see any difference? they're very subtle, but I can see a few.

Ahhh you mean like instead of answering a simple, direct analogy, continuing to ask if "asian" is the only race?

I thought you were just playing dumb, but after seeing your form over the last few weeks, I'm not so sure it's an act.

... and THEN ... (to continue after AGAIN having been so rudely interrupted) ... I believe London is now a patchwork quilt of multi-minority ethnic ghettoes where Caucasians have deserted the city due to the modern phenomenon known as 'White Flight'.

'White Flight' has also taken place in the precinct around the Sydney Central Railway area due to the thousands of Asians who have moved into the area in recent years ... as well as the entire Parramatta region which in recent years has become infested populated with subcontinental Indians.
