Sure, but some of those students are Chows, Curries, Boongs, even - God forbid - Muslims.
Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Black Africans ...
It's time for these blow-ins to think of themselves as uncompromisingly 'Australian' just as the dinki di Australians do. I've never met an Australian walking around calling himself an 'English-Australian or an 'Irish-Australian'.
If they're not Australians first and foremost then they don't belong here as anything other than tourists and students.
If history lessons at school must tippy-toe carefully so as to be 'inclusive', and apologetic for the British contribution to the Australian success story having been more than that of any other immigrant nationality - then it's time Leftwing political correctness was dumped for the divisive crock that it is - and replaced by history lessons as were taught in schools before the wogs arrived in great number.
But it's considered 'insensitive' to teach British-Australian history to classrooms full of ethnic kids, and this is because the Left want to preserve them as 'ethnics' with a separate identity to the mainstream Anglo-Australian - and also because the Left is appalled at the idea that little ethnic children should be taught some respect for the Anglo-Saxon achievement and success in this country.
I'm tired of 'multiculturalism' dictating the agenda.
