well spoken.
have you noticed that a lot of this anti-immigrant crap is all about fear?
fear that what your people did to others will now be done to them in turn.
yeah forget the past, wouldn't want them abos and muzzies getting any ideas from euro-history, now.

If you think this is plain old racism & anti immigration them your just missing the point. Suspend you concepts for long enough to take in some new info & you'll see why people are concerned. Do some reading.
Italians, Vietnamese, Greeks, yes they do have their own communities and as I said in my OP, Im not saying that their communities are right either because its another example just the same as the muslim communities of segregation in society.......but these nationalities have "integrated" far better than any nationalities from Islamic backgrounds/cultures.

And how many years did it take for the Greeks and Italians to even partially integrate?
I recall it took MANY years..
Maybe you need to give the Muslims the same amount of time...

Yeah im sure peoples recolections may alter as they get longer in the tooth but i remember my school years quite vividly.
Whenever there was a game of cricket or footy it was always the wogs vs the aussies, but cause i was only half wog one week id be on the assie team the next id be on the wogs lol.
Fights were always one on one if a third man got involved he got sorted, this was the norm and always at the church yard after school.

I read Infadel written by her, very inciteful read about her upbringing in Somalia and her terrible mother and then her finally getting the guts to escape to the Netherlands, she was one of the lucky ones!

I agree, it's much harder nowadays with media and the internet, not to mention the silly laws that prohibit the media from mentioning race.
Australia is often seen as racist, as with the Indian issue, but our media is not allowed to print the race of the offenders..
They may well be other Indians but we are not allowed to know..
It's reverse racism to me...

Agree 100% ,a couple of years ago the police commissioner (Nixon) refused to give Andrew Bolt (jurno) figure's on crime by African gangs in Melbourne,why? i believe it was because it would make them look bad,If a "insert race" person commits a crime the police will not describe them as "insert race",
It's the same if a white gang has a brawl with an ethnic gang,the white gang is described as a gang of racists,
as for the Indian issue,one Indian guy was bashed in a park in footscray late at night,i would not walk thru that park at night alone not for $1000,maybe it was a racists attack or maybe the ass holes that did it would have bashed whoever came along ,One Indian student claimed he was set on fire by white Australian's ,our press had a field day with that story,front page stuff,when the truth came out that he set himself on fire (wanting compensation i believe) it was on page 19 of the herald sun,
Some aboriginals mugged me and a mate a few years ago in the city,we put up a good fight but i had my wallet taken and my mate had his hat stolen, was this a racist crime ? i would say no as most would BUT if a group of white boys had done the same to a couple of aboriginals,it would have been portrayed as a racist crime,go figure,funny thing is a week later i was at ST Kilda beach with some Maori workmates and saw one of the muggers wearing my mates hat ,lets just say my mate got his hat back and leave it at that,
Walking fox will prolly come in and say i deserved to get beaten and my wallet stolen because of some alleged crime my ancestors did to Aboriginals 200years ago,well foxy you can GAGF
