West Indians in Australia, in 1963, at the height of the White Australia Policy, Herbie? Really? See what I have said about your penchant for telling Porkie-pies? Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

Where did you get the '1963' from?

Sometimes your dignity is best preserved by just keeping quiet.

But you'll never learn, will you?

Doesn't resemble the Australia where I live, Belgarion. Nor does it resemble the Australia where any of my relatives live. Nor does it resemble the Australia where any of my friends live. It doesn't resemble any of the cities I'm familiar with either. Perhaps you just don't like people who dress differently, talk differently, look different, act different to what you believe a stereotypical Aussie should, right? How's your drum lessons going?

From your posting here, Herbie:
Lord Herbert wrote on Dec 16^th, 2016 at 5:31pm:

Where were you, professor, when I was working side by side with immigrant West Indians in 1961?

And then at another workplace in 1962?

And then here in Australia in a chemical plant?

1961, 1962....?

So, when did you work with West Indian immigrants in Australia? 1963 or was it 1964 perhaps? My point still stands though, it was the height of the White Australia Policy then, there were no immigrants from the West Indies in Australia then. Roll Eyes

The point is that Acton DID resemble where you and your family USED to live 30 years ago.

It ... is ... only ... a ... matter ... of ... time.

Correct.

Once again, let the cynics take a trip to Sydney's entire Parramatta region which covers neighbouring suburbs ... get off the bus, train, or out of your car and go for a walk in any direction - at any time of day.

All good people, but it's no longer 'Australian', but a foreign enclave that's stiff with Indians and Chinese as I haven't seen since I was last in Hong Kong in 1954.

Again, nothing wrong with these people, per se, but if Australia's Dead from World War II in Europe and the Pacific came back to life they would be shocked to the core. They didn't give their lives so foreigners could come swanning in to replace their own offspring in this once-Australian city.

Too late, Brian - you blew it.

Trying to have a bet each way simply doesn't cut it.

The children of every one of those you mention will meld-in seamlessly with the local Aussies of British and European background - marrying into the Aussie mainstream and no longer being identified as part of a foreign 'community' in this country, such as the Indians and Chinese who predominate in the Parramatta area.

I was scrolling through online photos of a 'Mothers Day' event at an expensive private school here in Sydney, and it became immediately apparent that the Chinese mothers were sticking with one another for group photos of a dozen of them or so, while the Caucasian mothers were doing the same.

Once again for Brian and his fellow-deniers ...

And yes, I too like to have 'different cultures around' - so long as they are a small minority that doesn't challenge the host people as a demographic majority.

I returned to Burwood in Sydney after having lived there for 15 years and was swamped by Asians as I stepped out onto the street.

Absolutely unbelievable take-over from the time I was there.
