Nice vague ignorant generalizations there...
A tiny percentage of Australian descendants are from convicts, the rest are immigrants that came here on their own free will.
Oh and we're decendants of Aboriginal killers too?
Another tiny percentage...but you knew that I'm sure, you're here to troll and you've failed.
Run along now

From an American: Go Aussie Pride!!!! Screw that one world liberal nonsense of racism.
DRIVERS who fly Australian flags on their cars to celebrate Australia Day are "more racist" than people who do not, according to research from UWA. University of Western Australia sociologist and anthropologist Professor Farida Fozdar and a team of assistants surveyed 513 people at the Australia Day fireworks on Perth's Swan River foreshore last year to find out whether there was a link between car flag flying and racist attitudes, Perth Now reports.

Then tell me, what the hell do Australians have to be proud of? Sports ? And are we talking anglo-saxon Australians? The descendants of criminals? Their slaughtering of the native, original Australians? What is it that you are specifically proud of? Vague answers have been dealt with above.

I'm sorry Jase, but when did i say i didnt use the word. The term bogan is NOT racist and in this case, is not being referred to your European example. You were the one saying it was a racist term, therefore calling me a racist which is a blatant lie. You asked where you said it, i just showed you but you want to come back again. If you're going to continue to conduct yourself in this way then i have nothing more to say to you. Thats not having a debate, thats being childish because you didnt get your way ! I cannot believe that it has turned into all this when simply stating that bogan behaviour is nothing to be proud of, and only paints a negative image to the rest of Australians. An image you seem to want to defend and try and argue at all cost. If you still think that classes as being racist then i really do feel sorry for you and can only hope your ignorance on the subject will one day show you the stupidity of your arguement. This is my last reply to your so-called arguement, good luck with the rest of your life. But just remember the ATS motto.............deny ignorance, but you seem to want to embrace it

Your wrong, the first Australians were technically white anglos of British descent. The Aborigines used clan names as their nations, so think of the Australian "clan" as one that managed to succeed.
Secondly, what do Asians, Arabs, etc have to be proud of in Australia. They didn't really start arriving on mass until the 1980s. I have never seen any other person other than a white person to have celebrated Australia day, ANZAC day, etc.
Thirdly, those people did not build or fight for Australia.
That is the most stereotypical response so far. And as was pointed out to you before many Asians, Arabs etc have and DO celebrate Australia Day, but just because you havent seen it you claim it doesnt exist.Well i have seen it so that proves your opinion wrong, but this has already been established and now you come back with the same rubbish just because it suits your own opinion. And if you think Asians for example dont have anything to be proud of in Austrlalia, then go look up a person called Dr.Victor Chang [just one of many examples] and see what he has contributed to Australia. Go look into the many Asian and Arab shop/business owners paying tax that contributes to Australia. Go ask the Australian Army/Navy and Air Force how many people from an Asian or Arabic background that have enlisted to serve in the military so people like you can call this country home and spew your digusting bogan like attitude and mentality, and do not make this claim again until you have gone and asked this question. Go and have a look into how many people of an Asian or Arabic background are studying in the field of medicine and science, contributing to your well-being and all those in this country. And you wonder why you get referred to as a bogan, its because of your own attitude and beavhiour. And what about the white anglo-saxons that are 3rd generation dole bludgers feeding off the system because they think they have a right to, while many hard working, taxpaying people of multi-cultural backgrounds go out and work honest hard working jobs to be taxed to give these dole-bludging bogans a fortnightly cheque, who in some cases then use that dole cheque to buy Australia Day merchandise to run around telling others to "get out of my country" to try and justify their backwards thinkg bogan attitudes and behaviour ! What have THEY contributed to this country other then bludging off it ??? By claiming Asians and Arabs etc have done nothing to be proud of in this country proves just how ignorant and racist you are, and those that share your attitude and mentality on the subject !

Anything that is a negative stereotype of people is RACIST.
-Black people eat fried chicken
-Asians have small ( )
-White Australians are bogans
You now see how it is offensive?
Actually I have not once used the word, but you seem to like calling me a "bogan" in previous posts.
I never called you a racist, but merely told you to stop using that word as it is a negative stereotype of white Australians.

Your right I haven't seen Asians or Arabs celebrate this country, but what about Africans? All they have brought is a massive crime wave considering the size of their population.
Well actually, those whites BUILT the country from the ground up, and even at one point had to defend it from being destroyed.
Actually, Arabs are the highest dole bludgers in the country. Many of whom use the money to have 10+ children (trying to outbreed us obviously).
Asians are the only minority I can think of that has slightly contributed other than that they have done little else.
Well good for you if you feel that way, but in my area people of Asian, Arab, African etc. backgrounds DO NOT celebrate anything to do with this country. However, if you go to the local park you will see them celebrating their OWN country. Therefore, where do you think I make up my opinions?
Monkey see, monkey do.
